The packed house fortunate enough to be in attendance that night witnessed the birth of something very special. The following spring, the trio took the name LaMP by combining the first letters of each members\u2019 surname, and reconvened back in Vermont at Sugarhouse Soundworks for an intense recording session with sound engineer Roger Stauss laying down tracks that would become their eponymous debut EP.<\/p>\n<p>Metzger, described by The Village Voice as \u201c\u2026an ace guitarist of a thousand styles,\u201d and a full-time member of the beloved Joe Russo\u2019s Almost Dead, tested the decades-strong synergy between Lawton and Paczkowski forged from their time playing with Trey Anastasio Band and their duo project Soule Monde. It resulted in seven tracks crackling with energy and soul. The melodic and harmonic interplay between Paczkowski\u2019s swirling organ and clavinet dancing with Metzger\u2019s acrobatic melodies on telecaster, driven by Lawton&#8217;s unflappable backbeat, produced a record that will stand the test of time. Ever since\u2014as the three members busy schedules have allowed\u2014LaMP has prioritized bringing the music to the people with shows across the East Coast. As word has spread and the crowds have grown with each subsequent tour, it\u2019s become clear that LaMP will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WHERE: Third Room WHEN: Wednesday, September 17, 2025 DOORS: 7pm SHOW: 8pm GENRE: instrumental jam\/rock\u2011fusion TICKETS: $20 ga PURCHASE: https:\/\/tixr.com\/e\/149147 LaMP: WEBSITE: www.ilikelamp.com HEAR SOME MUSIC: https:\/\/lampband.bandcamp.com SEE A VIDEO: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":82137,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-82135","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
