Lawrence
Explosive soul-pop led by sibling harmonies and a massive horn section. High-energy, witty, and deeply musical tracks that feel like a summer block party.

Lawrence is an eight-piece soul-pop powerhouse founded by New York City siblings Clyde and Gracie Lawrence. Emerging in the mid-2010s, the group has carved out a unique space by blending the harmonic sophistication of Randy Newman and Stevie Wonder with the high-energy production of modern pop.
Their sound identity is defined by the 'explosive' vocal contrast between Clyde's soulful, grit-tinged delivery and Gracie's powerhouse belting, supported by a rhythm section and horn line composed of childhood and college friends. This 'family business' ethos translates into a highly cohesive, energetic live performance style that has earned them opening slots for major acts like The Rolling Stones and Jonas Brothers. Critically, they are noted for their 'DIY' spirit and transparency regarding the music industry, often incorporating themes of independent artistry into their lyrics. Their evolution from the raw, soul-focused Breakfast (2016) to the more polished, pop-leaning Hotel TV (2021) and Family Business (2024) shows a band mastering the balance between technical musicality and broad accessibility. They sit at the center of a modern soul revival alongside peers like Vulfpeck and Lake Street Dive.
