Sound Impressions EP005: Lawrence

Lawrence is a an 8-piece band led by brother/sister duo Clyde and Gracie Lawrence. They hail from New York and most of the band members attended Brown University. This talented and fun band has recently announced their fourth studio album, Family Business. They are celebrating that release later this year with a 40 date international headlining tour kicking off in Summer 2024. From the recent Live Nation announcement: "Lawrence has captivated and built a huge audience of die-hard fans with a distinct sound rooted in classic artists like Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman and Aretha Franklin, spun together with a high-energy pop edge. Their clever and brilliantly-crafted original songs are driven by Clyde’s keyboards, raspy voice, a rowdy horn section and Gracie’s vocals soaring on top. A beloved live band, Lawrence brings a party to the stage: a fun, full-throttle experience full of musical fireworks." Check out links and videos from the band below.

Mac DeMarco is a Canadian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. He was born in Duncan, British Columbia and grew up in Edmonton, Alberta.

DeMarco's latest release is a 199-song collection of ideas, riffs and songs called One Wayne G. Nadine Smith from Pitchfork writes, "While One Wayne G might look like a disposable afterthought, all unfinished drafts and near-identical file names, it’s hardly arbitrary or accidental."

The Summerhill Shuffle 2021 - Episode 10

These are the show notes for Episode 10 of the 2021 Summerhill Shuffle podcast! As usual, I have three recent songs that I'm sharing with you…one from a favorite band of mine that has released a cool song connected to a really awesome animated Netflix series. Also, an artist that I have admired for quite some time, but have never featured on the show, has a new album out and I’m sharing her new song that I think is killer. And, I’ve got a London-based duo that I introduce you to that just released a new album this past month. Plus, I introduce you to a young artist who has announced herself to the world this year. I’m sharing her new song with you, plus my conversation with her about her inspirations and songwriting process. All of that, and we’ll dive down deep for the full version of her 1st song released at the beginning of 2021.
