Willie J Laws
10-28-2023
Willie J Laws Jr. A Texas guitar “gun slinger”, vocalist and song-writer following in the footsteps of T-Bone Walker, Lightning Hopkins, Albert King and many others. This music is the kind of real Texas soul, all mixed up with classic R&B, country, blues/funk that grows from the Texas soil.
The Willie J Laws Band is one of the most notable Blues acts with a modern funky style that’s uniquely its own. The band’s sound includes deep Texas roots music, add some funk, and jazz influenced bass patterns, and the influence of various Afro-Caribbean drum beats, a genre-bending sound tempered with a groove from Motown, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, the Gulf Coast of Texas, and New Orleans. This isn't strictly Blues, much of it is original music with it's own sound and tempo.
You will enter the Willie J Laws Band musical train, cover a varied terrain with its assorted musical sounds. It's an exciting, fast moving train, and you will most definitely enjoy the ride!
Come hear the “The Last Prophet of the Funky Texas Blues."
Willie J Laws Jr (guitar and vocals), Lenny Bradford (bass and vocals), Bruce Mattson (keys), Osi Brathwaite (drums), Mark Berney (trumpet).
