Special thanks to Josephine Michenor, Andy Gingrich, Lily Mason, Eric McCann, Jennifer "violinifer" Bryant, Max Paley and J.B. King for playing many shows and/or recording with me.
Influences: The Bobs (Marley & Dylan), Ramones, Flatt and Scruggs, Little Richard, Split lip rayfield, Louis Armstrong, Lucinda Williams, The Proclaimers, Buena vista social club, The Cranberries, Old and in the way, the Pogues, Nina Simone singing 'Mississippi Goddamn', Bowie from Ziggy Stardust to the goblin king, "You remind me of the babe"; you know what I'm talking about. This list could go on all day.
Sounds Like: Lawrence's JR & the Juniors fired up in 2005 to play a show for free pizza and beer. The twangy outfit has since become a staple of the Mass. St. tour circuit, spreading good cheer with a Blue Mountain mashup of country, bluegrass, folk, blues and jug band music. The current lineup ... is often accompanied by guests on jaw harp, fiddle and boozy vocals. You might even hear a "Wizard of Oz" tune or two...-Lawrence.comGet your own free cool template at getgreatcodes.com
