David Lawrence has been a part of many bands, but for his band David Lawrence and the Spoonful, he primarily focuses on what he calls Roots Americana music with a little blues, honky tonk, and gypsy swing thrown in. The band started when upright bass player Gary Sloan recommended Lawrence to play with Coleman Smith, a touring violinist who was looking for a vocalist and guitarist. The two ended up playing a three-hour gig with no rehearsal and realized how in sync they were as players. They ultimately decided they needed to play more, and thus the band was born.
Since the band’s inception, they’ve added a drummer, Glenn Austin, and released an album, Lean In. Lawrence remembers always loving being on stage, whether it involves lip-syncing an Elvis song at a summer camp, like he did when he was younger, or performing music live now. He loves being able to express himself creatively and entertain an audience, and he has always been inspired by being able to perform live.
Lawrence explains that sometimes, songwriting is chronicling your life and sometimes, it’s a coping mechanism that allows you to process tough times. Other times, though, it’s just fun and allows him to express something silly or a turn of phrase that he likes. It can also sometimes feel like it comes from out of nowhere as if it comes from a different person’s perspective. For Lawrence, it’s important for him to let the process affect him organically and see what comes out of it.
He hopes that by the end of his shows, there is something about his soul that is a lot clearer than when he first stepped on stage. He wants his connection with the audience and the unveiling of his personal life through music, whether it be his first kiss with his wife or the first time he held his son, to shine through and let the audience leave with a feeling that they know him and the rest of the band a little better.
Be sure to check out David Lawrence and the Spoonful at the Jamestown Mercantile, 108 Main Street in Jamestown, on Thursday, March 30, 2023, at 7 p.m.
