The Laws

The Laws are Canadian husband-and-wife singer/songwriters. Their songs are an acoustic mix of country, bluegrass, folk and pop, delivered with harmony singing "that recalls The Everly Brothers in their prime". As recent winners of the prestigious Chris Austin Songwriting Competition, The Laws are making a strong move for greater recognition in the Americana ranks behind a typically ambitious touring schedule (200-plus nights a year on the road) and a stirring new album for their own label titled Ride It Out. The duo’s fifth CD, Ride It Out is packed with compelling original songs, empathetic musicianship and emotionally charged vocal performances.
“… alternatively wistful and playful songs… collection of acoustic gems” Chris Neal, Nashville Scene (Critics Pick)
“ .. duo’s close-harmony singing, a deeply affecting blend that harks backs to the impeccable like of the Davis Sisters and Delmore Brothers...” Bill Friskecs-Warren, The Tennessean (Get Out Americana Pick)
“ …. begins with this languid, swaying, romantic melody that recalls The Everly Brothers in their prime. Yes, the harmonies really are that good. The mandolin and accordion solos are utterly lovely. Michele adds a third vocal part on “Go Easy” and swings lightly in “Put Some Love In It.” John dazzles with his mandolin instrumental “Texacadia.” They both hypnotize you on “Whiskey and Gasoline” and delight you with finger-popping “Getting Over You.” Heartily recommended.” Robert Oermann, Music Row Magazine
“John and Michele Law's songs seem to be the lost essence of country music which has now become so commercial and formulaic sounding.” Randy Bachman
“You've got the sound.” Tom Russell
"If Gram Parsons married Alison Krauss their music would sound a lot like John and Michele." Willie P Bennett
