Description:
If you’ve seen Lawton perform you know what they are all about. If you haven't, seeing is believing. Lawton is not a typical rock band. Lawton features four seasoned musicians who write songs that mean something to them, and will hopefully touch a part of your soul as well. Lawton's sound has been developed and refined for over two years now and continues to evolve. Individually the members of Lawton have created their own styles that when combined delivers a unique but commercial product. Lawton's mission is to make every person who comes to a show feel as though they are a part of the band. After all, the audience is as much a part of the performance as the performers themselves.
