Live filmed session by the band Lawrence for Jam in the Van, captured in Los Angeles in 2021. Led by siblings Clyde and Gracie Lawrence, Lawrence is a New York soul-funk and pop collective with a large lineup of horns, keys and two complementary lead vocals that trade off. In Jam in the Van’s intimate wood-lined van, an outfit that records raw-energy live sessions, the band delivers a vibrant full set where funk groove, vocal harmonies, horns and a danceable rhythm come fully into their own. The aesthetic recalls the golden age of 1970s soul and funk, revisited with contemporary pop songwriting and a strong sense of showmanship. A multi-song live capture perfect for grasping the stage presence and infectious joy of a group that built its reputation on live performance and word of mouth. Keywords: Lawrence live, Jam in the Van 2021, funk, soul, pop, live session, full set, Los Angeles, horns.
