Fresh from the debut show at Kirk Avenue Music Hall, Nov 25 - "a triumph" says Ed Walker - Laker moves on to the 2nd show.

Until 5 months ago River Laker had never been in a band nor written a song nor played any musical instruments. After seeing a Heevahava show at the Coffeepot in Roanoke, River knew where his destiny lay, and a new experiment was born: The Laker Experiment. Within a 6 month period River formed the band, “Laker”, wrote & recorded 10 songs, signed with the label The UNcommonwealth, released an EP, “Approaching Acceptability #1”, made a music video.

Writing songs that could be described as musical Mary Karr memoirs, Laker creates melodies that bring the body to move in unpredictable ways, sounds that span gospel to EDM (electronic dance music) genres, and lyrical content that both surprises and brings unavoidable LOLs, whilst holding a rare depth, poetic resonance and authentic emotional range – Laker reinvents and re-presents the singer/songwriter genre.

Presented by The UNcommonwealth.
