This band is criminally underrated, they should be playing huge venues and pulling thousands, but I like how they’ve matured and grown organically as well. Buckle up cos when you start binging their stuff, you’re in for a ride.
Fun Fact: At age 6, Clyde became the youngest ever member of the Songwriters Guild for a song he wrote for the Movie Miss Congeniality. his dad was the director and the producers axed the planned song. Clydes dad slipped his son's own song in and they loved it.
Quick correction: Donald Petrie directed Miss Congeniality. Marc Lawrence, who cut his teeth writing and producing for the tv series “Family Ties” in the 80’s, was co-screenwriter, and has since gone on to direct several films himself.
Gracie and Clyde are sister and brother, as you probably know by now. Their little brother Linus was the first backup singer featured in this video. A couple fun starter facts for you as a new Lawrence fan: Clyde was the youngest-ever member of the SGA, and he has testified in front of congress about the terrible, detrimental effect of monopoly-level corporations like LiveNation and Ticketmaster on the music industry.
I really appreciate you giving that much credit to the artists! Most reaction youtubers I've seen try to just hog clicks and likes of viral videos, you're doing the right thing here and that deserves a like! Great Stuff dude
They just released an album called Family Business. The whole thing is awesome. If you don't binge them along with their accousticish stuff, hip reolacement off of the Family Business album is a must. I also recommend, its not all about you, make a move and freckles.
In case you hadn't read it anywhere, Clyde wrote a song for the Miss Congeniality soundtrack in 2000. He just turned 30 last month.... Their dad was a writer on the movie and wasn't happy with the pageant scene theme music so he asked 5 year old Clyde what he thought. Clyde wrote his own version and dad submitted it to the producers without telling them who wrote it. They liked it and the rest is history.
I love seeing someone discover them for the first time, especially when tiny, little Gracie opens her mouth for the first time and that BIG voice comes out. I first discovered them when their song "Don't Lose Sight" (which you should check out the acoustic-ish version of) was used in a commercial. Also, at the top of my list is the acoustic-ish of "I'm Confident I'm insecure". Based on your vibe I think you would really, really like "Freckles" featuring Jon Bellion and the Hunter Tones. Please react! We was to see how much you like them!
She sings great, but I was really blown away with every single person in the room sang at the same level. I'm a singer myself. So being able to sing with a big group of people like that would be a dream!
I found them about 2 years ago and they are amazing. All there acoustic videos are a must. Pure talent and energy. Core group is the 8 of them but the backup vocalist join on these acoustic vids.
They always bring in more singers for their acoustic-ish videos. Typically it is an 8-piece group- Clyde and Gracie on lead vocals with 6 musicians (Marc on trumpet and bongos, Sumner on alto sac and shaker, Jordan on tenor sax, Jonny on guitar, Sam on drums/percussion, and Michael on bass-Jordan, Jonny, and Michael all helping with background vocals as well)
For an intro to the core band (non-acoustic-ish) check out their multipart documentary starting here ua-cam.com/video/9oueqa38OJ0/v-deo.htmlsi=Z7Vpv6LqEWqP8Rdj
I found these guys accidentally a few weeks ago and I am OBSESSED by this song in particular but all of their music is solid. Their older stuff is on Spotify.
Lawrence has made a recurring series of videos where they take one of their studio tracks and create a less-augmented, single-take version. It’s still mixed and mastered but it’s all there in the one recording. Most contemporary artists would be hard-pressed to do that. The background singers are friends/fam who regularly perform in these versions, which have come to be called “acoustic-ish.” If you love horns check out their regular band videos which features a 3-pc. horn section. If you read this before Mon. Aug. 12th, 2024, they’re scheduled to perform on Tonight Show w/ Jimmy Fallon.
You will, appropriately, be sent to their acoustic-ish videos, especially "Don't Lose Sight". Do 'em all. You won't regret it. Then, just for shits 'n giggles, react to " "Shot", Breakfast: Unscrambled (Acoustic Sessions)" - an ancient tune featuring just Clyde and Gracie. No one, to the best of my knowledge, has covered this and it's a damned shame. You'll thank me: ua-cam.com/video/mkVClmB1V4Q/v-deo.html
Dude, Clyde and Gracie was on Jacob Collier's last album on a track with Michael McDonald. JC joined Lawrence on stage playing that song (and other songs) on Lawrence' London show opening their 2024 summer European tour.
I've been watching all of your XG videos. Love em. Now imagine my surprise to see you reacting to another group I absolutely love. Yeah, please do more Lawrence
It’s kind of annoying how some families get so much musical talent, right? I think Clyde is my new vocal inspiration as I’m sliding into my slightly deeper “second puberty” voice. Full tenor is getting rough 😂
Extremely well used chords, loads of cliches but man - I love this band. This is a hook song, there's a lot more depth in their other content. Nice share Zack

They just sold out Radio City Music Hall for September 19 in NYC. 6,000 seats.
@@rmadler2007 that’s great! They totally deserve it!
I'll be there, super excited to finally see them live. Ive been trying for a few years and just happened to miss them each time.
Prepare to be amazed by their acoustic-ish versions! There are also some amazing earlier acoustic videos you can also watch.
Every acoustic video they've made is fire. Try them, no hesitation.
'what in the sweet cool as fuck is this?' is such a relatable reaction to learning about lawrence

@@Merc-zf8zz Thanks 🙏 😉
4:39 If you love horns then you're gonna absolutely love this band, they feature their horns prominently in all their music
Please do more Lawrence! Imagine if them and Harry collabed. Idk what that would even be like, but I'm sure it'd be fire.
ENERGY OVERLOAD... BRAIN FRIED!
MORE LAWRENCE! Especially their "acoustic-ish" videos (literally any of them)
Oh hell yeah! Never seen them before but they are crazy good! I might binge them too! Thanks for this reaction and intro!❤️🔥✌🏻🫶🏻
You gotta peep the rest of their "acoustic-ish" series!! Loved this reaction.

Ooh, I'm surprised this is your first. They're hella fun. "Don't Lose Sight" (acoustic)!
welcome to the club!!! genuinely i’d recommend watching all of their acoustic-ish videos, their energy and harmonies and vibe is magical
I really appreciate you giving that much credit to the artists! Most reaction youtubers I've seen try to just hog clicks and likes of viral videos, you're doing the right thing here and that deserves a like! Great Stuff dude
The takes on youtube videos are so much better than tiktok
OMG! That was fantastic! I definitely need to hear more of them!!

"Girl, chill"
I love that she's not chill, she's a dynamo and ham and incredibly fun to watch! The whole band is, but she brings another level.
I found them about 2 years ago and they are amazing. All there acoustic videos are a must. Pure talent and energy. Core group is the 8 of them but the backup vocalist join on these acoustic vids.
Welcome to the world of Lawrence, enjoy the binge.

Love them! Thanks to who recommended them! Recommend more!💜💜💜
Goosebumps - To have a room full of such talented friends - and blast out a recording with just a straight up JAM SESH - Right in the feels. damn.
That was cool AF! I just might go binge all of their shit too!!

Seriously... gotta check out their acoustic-ish "23" and "Don't Lose Sight"... freaking amazing stuff!
All of this!!! And Freakles
They are f*^king crazy 🤪 i saw them the first time on the tonight show and lost my mind. They are amazing.
Can't wait to see them live in 6 weeks!

I became a fan after hearing Hip Replacement.
simply being 🧍♀ by how ✨AMAZING✨ they are (specially with this one) its pretty much how every single person reacts :)
I found these guys accidentally a few weeks ago and I am OBSESSED by this song in particular but all of their music is solid. Their older stuff is on Spotify.
Ok. Time to binge. 🔥
Zack, the Man!! Another great reaction!!
I’ve only recently discovered Lawrence and they are amazeballs!!! So much joy 💖
Welcome to the family business, brother!
Thanks for the volume ❤ great sound

A Lawrence-binge is always welcome. More "bad-ass!" will be forthcoming.
Dude, Clyde and Gracie was on Jacob Collier's last album on a track with Michael McDonald.
JC joined Lawrence on stage playing that song (and other songs) on Lawrence' London show opening their 2024 summer European tour.
Saw at Rock Werchter in Belgium this summer. Amazing live act!
They are rising and will become better known.
Also, they were just on the Tonight Show so they're going to BLOW UP.
Check out the acoustic-ish versions of "23," "Don't Lose Sight," and "I'm Confident that I'm Insecure."
New subby here. What do I want? More Lawrence. Nothing more to say. Thanks for the show, Zack.
I have been watch Lawrence for years. They are in their way to the top
Please go down that rabbit hole but please don't let it happen without an audience. It's very fun to watch you get amazed and entertained by Lawrence.
If you love horns, you've gotta check out their cover of Get Busy its amazing
I've been watching all of your XG videos. Love em. Now imagine my surprise to see you reacting to another group I absolutely love. Yeah, please do more Lawrence
You look like if Jon bernthal and Jake gyllenhal got smushed together.
Oh my dude....this was pretty incredible from them. But you need to check out their other acoustic-ish stuff too. It's all incredible.
def check out their other acousticishes!
Lawrence are talented as fuck!
Very cool ❤
I will reiterate what many are saying...you should check out ALL of their acousti-sh sessions. They are incredible.
Check out their Fallon performance of this song. It is bad ass!!!!
It’s kind of annoying how some families get so much musical talent, right? I think Clyde is my new vocal inspiration as I’m sliding into my slightly deeper “second puberty” voice. Full tenor is getting rough 😂
i'll watch any video you do of theirs too!
You should absolutely check out "i wanna take you for a ride" with 8 bit band, along side everything else theyve done
Dear casting directors, we've got the leads for your upcoming Randy Newman and Janis Joplin biopics right here...
Fu**ing awesome 😎
I think Clydes voice sounds like Randy Newman
Linus is their little brother.
more reactions from them
It's all about Gracie.
You should check out their Don’t Lose Sight Acoustic ish video!
Extremely well used chords, loads of cliches but man - I love this band. This is a hook song, there's a lot more depth in their other content. Nice share Zack
2:59 🤣🤣

The artist is the draw. Reduce your 75% ...
