LaMP formed on a magical night at Nectar’s in Burlington, VT circa December 2018 when drummer Russ Lawton and Hammond B-3 organist Ray Paczkowski, whose duo Soule Monde are longtime stalwarts of the Burlington, Vermont music scene and nationally recognized as the rhythm section for the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) were joined by guitarist Scott Metzger, an in-demand session guitarist and one-fifth of celebrated Grateful Dead revivalists Joe Russo's Almost Dead (JRAD). The chemistry between the three was immediate, resulting in a heavy groove, soul jazz, gut punch with dollops of deep-fried funk and technical prowess to spare. A series of starts and stops was to follow as its three members navigated their own individual schedules. They'd double down, however, on their commitment to the band in 2023, resulting in LaMP's busiest year yet with plans already in the works for next year.
