About this act
The violin is a strange instrument to build a wedding act around, and it works better than most people expect. Lawrence Gratton loops violin, guitar and stompbox together, so one player builds up layered, harmonised parts live in the room. He's studied music formally and taught it, which shows in the detail of the playing rather than in any showing off. His influences run wide, so he moves between contemporary songs and older material without either sounding out of place. Queensland based. Capable of quiet and capable of lifting a room, depending on what the moment needs.
