Lawrence Blatt

San Francisco-based Lawrence Blatt delivers striking original compositions played on acoustic finger-style guitar, both as a soloist and as co-founder of FLOW (feat. Will Ackerman, Fiona Joy Hawkins, Jeff Oster and Lawrence Blatt), released on his indie label, LMB Music; the group have earned multiple awards for their albums FLOW and Promise. Lawrence's unique sound is a fusion of classical and modern performance techniques. His music consists of layers of guitar work decorated with luscious melodies and percussive moods. He often plays in open tunings with a single guitar used to create the rhythm, bass and lead melody all at once. He explains, "As a solo instrumentalist, I have to let my guitar be my voice. I try to create moods and express feelings by using alternate tunings, by careful attention to musical dynamics and intonation and by layering percussive sounds behind the main voice of the guitar. My music ranges from soft contemporary compositions to mysterious pieces that could be set in the 18th century." Throughout his five solo albums, Blatt's music crosses a variety of genres, including acoustic, ambient and adult contemporary, fingerstyle guitar with notes of Americana and jazz. Ultimately, he just plays, inspired by travel, nature, and even the mathematical Fibonacci sequence. See his photos on FB, IG and Twitter. Lawrence's music is available worldwide in both physical and digital format, very easy to find on Amazon. www.LawrenceBlatt.com.
