Lawrence - Staycation
About This Event
The Brooklyn Paramount bills "Lawrence — Staycation," pairing two acts that share the name Lawrence: Lawrence Henry Gowan, the keyboardist-vocalist noted for solo work and his tenure with Styx, and Lawrence, the eight-member sibling-led band anchored by Clyde and Gracie Lawrence. Gowan brings a keyboard-forward, arrangement-focused approach; the band emphasizes tight vocal interplay and a rhythm-forward, band-driven pulse, foregrounding precision and musical architecture.
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.
