Lawrence - Staycation
About This Event
At Brooklyn Paramount the bill titled "Lawrence — Staycation" pairs two artists who share the name. Lawrence Henry Gowan, the Canadian singer-keyboardist known onstage as Gowan and for his work with Styx, brings a keyboard-forward approach and a focus on tight arrangements. The New York sibling-led ensemble Lawrence fields an eight-member band whose pop-soul sound emphasizes rhythm and close vocal interplay.
About Staycation
“Staycation” at Brooklyn Paramount frames the idea of a vacation without departure as a working New York condition: time off measured in subway stops and day-trip distances. Siblings Clyde and Gracie Lawrence lead their eight-piece band through Hip-Hop/R&B‑leaning pop-soul built on close vocal exchange and tight rhythm. The program also lists Lawrence Henry Gowan, a Canadian singer-keyboardist known for his long association with Styx, adding a second, contrasting “Lawrence” to the night. In a city that often treats leisure as another kind of scheduling, the title lands as a quiet cultural comment.
