Lawrence Anthony ''LA'' as he is affectionately know, has been entertaining for a long time.
Combine Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass and James Brown, and you get LA'S signature style ''old school romance'' and firery funk ! His unique registry, being a bass/baritone singer, brings passion and fire to the romantic songs that are an important part of his performance.
The fevor and spiritual connections felt by his audiences is only by his ability to become ''one'' with his audience through his ''soulful, heart pounding funk. A celebratory aura is seen is seen in his outlook on life and is evident in his performances.

July 18, 2012LA is beyond professional, as a singer and entertainer. IF you really want to bring the folks out for a great dance party, this is THE singer and his Hit Squad group to hire. Keyboards, sax players, horns...man what a sound. Their repertoire is extensive and you can't help but get off you seat and P-A-R-T-Y!!! Mucho
entertainment for the boomer set with sexy LA enchanting his audiences from Philly to NYC and the burbs. A++++ group!.

Professional, courteous, ''old school' soulful, Apollo like. Roses are given to the ladies and a highly celebratory experience is felt by all !. The best of musicians are used in my act. Good musicians only can enhance my performance. It has been said that I'm the 2nd hardest working man in show business ! Off course the hardest working man was James Brown !
Lawrence Anthony "LA' as he is affectionately known, has been entertaining for a long time. The power and seduction of music drew LA to sing, play and entertain.
Combine Barry White, Teddy Pendergrass and James Brown, and you get LA's signature style - "old school romance" and fiery funk! His unique registry, being a bass/baritone singer, brings passion and fire to the romantic songs that are an important part of his musical experience.
The fervor and spiritual connections felt by his audiences is matched only by his ability to become "one" with his soulful, heart pounding funk. A celebratory aura is seen in his outlook on life and is evident in his performances.
LA has performed with the legendary Intruders as well as on many "Motown Review" assignments. He is currently the bass/baritone singer and co-founder of "Tradition", a wonderful "classic soul" cover singing group.
LA is no stranger to other forms of media. He has been heard as a radio personality on his own "Quiet Storm" show on 91.1 WOSS in New York. He has been seen in commercials and on documentaries for public and commercial television.
