Biography
For over 20 years, Lawrence J. Clark has delighted audiences all across the United States, performing with folk/rock and blues bands in Maine, California, New Mexico, and Texas, and with his one-man show consisting of music, poetry, storytelling, and dramatic performances. A gifted and honored songwriter, his songs have been included on compilations published by MyTexasMusic.com, Texas Music Magazine, and the Houston Association of Acoustic Musicians (HAAM).
Besides performing in traditional performing songwriter venues, Lawrence also frequently performs and gives assembly programs and poetry readings in public schools and libraries. For more information on these programs, please see his school program site, http://singingpoetguy.com.
Lawrence recently completed a new recording of traditional and contemporary gospel/Americana selections entitled "Amazing!" CDBaby.com says: "Amazing harmonies complement the South Austin sound on a heartfelt mix of traditional and contemporary gospel favorites and originals,"
and MyTexasMusic.com says: You can expect heartfelt and sincere music from Lawrence J. Clark every time. Your expectations are again met. This time, LJ rises to the occasion with a spiritual tribute. Clark has always been able to please with his folk and funny collections, but this disc embarks on a more serious journey for this Houston performer. Passion is emblazoned across each cut as Clark pours himself humbly into each performance. You’ll hear that old fave "Amazing Grace" and appreciate it like never before. Clark approaches each song with purity and grace with just enough playfulness to invoke a smile. The arrangements are simple and true to the craft, as Clark truly believes each note and expressly performs each lyric. If you are already a spiritual person, this disc will help you in your life’s affirmations through music. If not, what a great place to start. Lawrence J. Clark defines spiritual folk and wears it deservingly like a soft purple robe. Clark’s servant spirit shines through on this twelve-cut emblem of praise. Christian to the core, the disc has something for everyone who has the faith, the belief, and an expectation."
