This year will also see the debut release of his own record label, Ron Records. Laurence says:

“I wanted to finally own the music I make and give back something special to my fans. The hardest things in life are the simplest things, and I really hope this album comes across authentic, real, and tells a story about my journey with my Crohn’s disease, life on the road and love!

It’s one of my proudest moments to be able to release this whole project under my own record label. I’ve found it very hard with my Crohn’s to be on the road with long journeys and the constant toll the band takes physically on my body. I want the show to have an intimate feeling but at the same time I’m always ready to blues rock it, this time a bit more traditional.

I feel these are some of the best songs I’ve written, you can’t hide behind just one guitar and a vocal. I’m excited to push my musical boundaries… I’ve always wanted to get back up on the stage on my own and combine my experience of the blues with my classical guitar training. I can say I have suffered my fair share of my blues having an invisible illness Crohn’s Disease. I have challenged my real-life blues into these songs; I wrote the album when I was having a Crohn’s flare over Christmas last year and it’s my most personal album yet.”
