Russ Lawton of LaMP

You’re definitely going to want to check out the new release from
LaMP entitled One of Us out now wherever you listen or buy music.
For the uninitiated LaMP features drummer Scott Lawton and
keyboard player Ray Paczkowski famously of the Trey Anastasio
Band and guitarist Scott Mezger who has been toiling with Joe
Russo’s Almost Dead amongst other side projects. Together, the
trio puts out very cool jams that play off of their improvisation
chops and decades of playing a range of music styles. While the
tunes all start out with a groove Russ Lawton provides, they grow
organically as the other two musicians colour in with their
instruments over top. Together the trio amass tunes that are
eclectic yet very much recognizable as LaMP tunes. I caught up
with Russ Lawton to talk about where things are at with LaMP and
of course we discussed the very compact yet thorough One of Us an
album worth getting into your ears soon. Here’s how the
conversation went.


 


First song: Nice Girl


Second song: Jasper's World
