LaMP featuring Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger and Ray Paczkowski has announced a ten-date Spring tour across the East Coast with stops in the Northeast, Mid Atlantic and Southeast. Kicking off in April, the run is in addition to two previously announced March shows in Denver and Boulder.
"We hit the Northeast pretty hard last Fall and the response was just incredible, lots of big crowds and sold out shows," says Metzger. "So we decided that in the Spring it would be fun to play more around those same parts, but to instead find cool rooms outside of the big cities and bring the music to the people in spots a little more off the beaten path."
LaMP formed in 2018 for a handful of one-off performances in Vermont. The chemistry between the three was immediate, resulting in a heavy groove, soul jazz sound with plenty of deep funk and technical prowess to spare. During the pandemic, they'd record and release their first studio album. It wasn't until 2023, however, that the organ/guitar/drums trio found time in their busy schedules to focus energy on LaMP as a priority. Indeed, their musical commitments are far reaching: Metzger is an in-demand studio guitarist and member of Joe Russo's Almost Dead, while Lawton and Paczkowski have their own duo Soule Monde and are original members of the Trey Anastasio Band. With both live and studio albums in the works and 12 shows planned for the Spring, LaMP five years from their inception is clearly just getting started.
