Gracie Lawrence '20 & Clyde Lawrence '15 from LAWRENCE

Intimate Performance + Discussion from their Home Studio

If you haven't heard and seen Brown alumni band Lawrence yet, it is time you joined their hordes of massive fans! Brown Media Group and the Brown Club in NY are thrilled to present Gracie and Clyde Lawrence LIVE in an intimate, bare-bones performance from their home studio. Don't miss this up-close experience of their sheer artistry along with a chance to hear about their new album which will be released this summer and plans for a headline tour to follow! Part of our series of "Brown Bare Sessions" with alumni musicians..

Clyde Lawrence '15 and Gracie Lawrence '20 have been writing songs and listening to countless Stevie Wonder, Randy Newman, and Aretha Franklin records in their family’s New York City apartment since they were little kids. During Clyde and Gracie's time at Brown, the full-time Lawrence lineup met for the first time, creating an eight-piece keyboard-driven powerhouse with a dynamic horn section to support the siblings’ explosive vocal arrangements. This soul-pop group also features Brown alums: Michael Karsh '14 (bass), Jonny Koh  '13 (guitar), Sam Askin '13 (drums), Sumner Becker '14 (alto sax) and Marc Langer '13 (trumpet.) 

Get ready for the show by streaming Lawrence's most recent single "Freckles" here.
