After the disappointment last Thursday with Jarrod Lawson cancelling due to illness, we are delighted to announce that he has agreed to an extra UK tour date to play at The Bear Club before he flies back to the US.
The award-winning US soul singer Jarrod Lawson is bringing his solo show to The Bear during his UK tour 2023. Formerly held close as one of the Pacific Northwest’s best-kept musical secrets, Jarrod Lawson has exploded as an international sensation, garnering awards, performing at prestigious venues and spawning fresh notability for Portland's burgeoning soul/jazz music scene.
Ever since Lawson released his eponymous debut album in 2014, the smoky voiced singer-songwriter and virtuoso pianist has been sending positive ripples around the globe with his powerful music. He has completed seven successful international tours with prestigious highlights extending from Rotterdam’s North Sea Jazz and the UK’s Love Supreme festivals, to Java Jazz festival in Indonesia, with performances in Beijing, Melbourne and at Tokyo’s Billboard Live.
Lawson followed his debut album with a limited edition vinyl EP, Jarrod Lawson At The BBC, recorded at London’s historic BBC Maida Vale studios and broadcast on the Gilles Peterson Worldwide Show.
His second album, Be The Change, with a new band which benefits from the presence of legendary Grammy-nominated percussionist Sammy Figueroa, also features vocalist Amber Navran and her fellow members of the LA alternative soul trio, Moonchild, guesting on “I’ll Be Your Radio”.
