David Lawrence, has called Colorado home for over a decade. Whether performing solo or with his full band, ‘The Spoonful,’ David brings a unique blend of finger-picking blues, Roots-Americana, soulful vocals, and his style of Django-inspired jazz guitar. His Recent full-length album 'Lean In' received accolades at Westword Magazine, 303 Magazine, 5280, Rooster Magazine & plays on local radio all over CO. David's 2023 performances include Cervantes Ballroom opening for Bros. Comatose, Bluebird Theatre, NYE opening for Pimps of Joytime and two headline sold out Gold Hill Inn shows. A poet at heart, David’s original sound combines evocative imagery and storytelling with infectious melodies and rich, layered guitar playing. True to his musical roots, David’s music is raw, gritty, soulful, and full of heart.
"Mixing Delta blues, roots and his take on Gypsy jazz guitar, Lawrence possesses an intangible quality — maybe it’s personality — that imparts something special to the songs, pushing them beyond the standard Americana fare. On this debut album, “Cupcakes and Cigarettes” is a banger of particular note. “Seeds We Sow," the band’s first single, sprang from Lawrence watching the horrible wildfires burning in the mountains in 2020. There’s a lot going on here, and the lyrics invite listeners to take a deep dive."
