"Ian Lawler is a visionary on guitar, able to make fine art by precise execution and deep passion." - Speech, of Arrested Development "Ian Lawler is a great guitar player, at home in many musical settings, and now stretching out as a singer and composer of his own material. With his upcoming move, Charlottesville is about to lose a major resource." - Bobby Read, of Bruce Hornsby and the Noise Makers "A monstrous musician." - Charles "King" Arthur, guitarist for Slaid Cleaves "When Ian was in my band, he added a tasteful, nuanced touch to every performance. Now, on his debut record, he develops that subtle swing into melodic perfection, settling into every groove with harmonious ease." - Mariana Bell, singer/songwriter "Lawler has the illest jankets in the game. And he's incredibly tall!" - Mayer Hawthorne
