Description
feat. Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski
Interstate jammers LaMP — featuring Vermont-based Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray
Paczkowski (keys), alongside Brooklynite Scott Metzger (guitar) — distill singular,
road-honed improv instincts into taut, instrumental epics.
While each of the players has extensive experience with other gigs — Lawton and
Paczkowski with the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) and Soule Monde, and Metzger through
projects such as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) and Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline
(MMMC) — LaMP has hewed its own path.
The trio is currently touring behind their second studio collection, One Of Us, that packs
10 tracks into 35-minutes of kaleidoscopic interplay and club-shifting grooves. It’s the
cleanest distillation of the LaMP sound yet, a mission statement of improvisational
group-think and compositional chops.
Throughout its runtime, One Of Us acts as a showcase for the myriad of sonic flavors
LaMP brings to the table, delivering a listen which works both as deep headphone
immersion or a packable-party custom-tailored to deliver the jams to upcoming 2025
tour hangs.
As word has spread and crowds have grown with each subsequent tour, it’s become
clear that LaMP ft. Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski will be a musical
force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.
