LAAMAR's Bio: LAAMAR is the latest project led by Minneapolis-based singer, songwriter, saxophonist, and composer Geoffrey Lamar Wilson. On the band’s debut EP, Flowers, Wilson blends his idiomatic inspirations bridging folk, soul, R&B, and country with a constant ear toward racial and social justice issues and the shared human experience. “In the EP's deceptively sweet and warm title track, he relays a memory of his mother ‘lighting candles and putting flowers on the boulevard’ in memory of another dead man of color. In the standout track getting airplay on the Current, 'Home to My Baby,' he relays his personal fears of getting pulled over by police,” writes Chris Riemenschneider of the Star Tribune. Recent acclaim for LAAMAR includes debut single “Home to My Baby” being named KAXE’s “Best Song” of 2023 and a nod as one of First Avenue’s Best New Bands. “With Flowers,” writes Malachy Koons of KAXE, "LAAMAR has crafted a stunning debut that does not shy away from difficult topics. The new EP features four instantly catchy songs, with each taking a different approach to issues of racial and social justice.”

Anyone familiar with Martha Scanlan and Jon Neufeld’s unique alchemy on stage will not be surprised by the sense of being taken into the moment- their shows are in and of themselves a journey of improvisation; the way Jon Neufeld’s brilliant innovative guitar playing weaves effortlessly around Martha’s timeless songwriting is simply magical.

With that comes her latest release, “Fly Away Bird”, her most mature work.

Like many in Generation X, I spent a lot of my childhood fending for myself. Stability was rare, and exposure to music and art the only real constant. Whether attending weekly gatherings at The Temple of Music in Roger Williams Park, or being snuck into tiny cafés to see underground artists like Paul Geremia and Tracy Nelson, or even seeing Dylan on the Street Legal tour, my early memories of live music – of people drawn together by something larger than themselves, a mystery – left a deep impression on my mind and soul. “Jeremy Moses Curtis sings songs that are more like conversations draped across a landscape that is in constant movement. Folk tales of ordinary moments, observations and revelations.” — Dana Colley (Morphine)
