Jazz Got the Blues...

About Me

Seemingly out of nowhere, CEDRIC LAMAR, is turning heads in New York City. With a sound that is missing, but desperately, needed in today's music scene, THE LAMAR PROJECT is based in the blues - the foundation of everything, and blends elements of Rock, Funk, and Jazz that moves you from both the inside-out, and the outside-in. The skillfully constructed songs seep deep into your core, take you on a journey, and allow you to have the rare, but always welcome, mind and body musical experience.Singer/Songwriter, CEDRIC LAMAR, sets the tone with heartfelt, soulful vocals that remind you of a time when things were rough, but you also knew they could only get better. Cedric's voice and lyrics are of the earth. You believe every word as if you were saying them yourself. He digs through his own pain to let you know you're not alone in yours. It is by every definition what a soul-singer should be.The back beat of the whole operation is in the trusty hands of drummer, Tom Sawyer. Tom uses the length of the songs to build and layer a small head bob to full body euphoria.The simple truth is that there's a song in all of us that we're dying to sing. And once we find that song and sing it from the bottom of our hearts, we'll start to hear that everyone has a song in them. And the sound of all those songs, is the sound of LIFE, and it's a bluesy and beautiful. Come Rock with us...
