Nationwide Tour Celebrates LaMP’s Acclaimed New Studio Release
Cooperstown Concerts is thrilled to announce an electrifying night of live jazz and funk music with jamband supergroup LaMP (ft. Russ Lawton, Scott Metzger, Ray Paczkowski). The concert takes place on Friday, March 6, 2026, 7:30 PM at The Otesaga Resort Hotel (60 Lake Street, Cooperstown).
Known for deep grooves, fearless improvisation, and irresistible dance-floor energy, LaMP promises a night of outstanding musicianship and pure fun. The trio distills decades of road-tested chemistry into tight, instrumental epics. Their swirling organ lines, acrobatic guitar melodies, and an unshakeable rhythmic foundation create a sound that is uniquely their own.
Band members Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray Paczkowski (keys) of Vermont are longtime collaborators through the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) and their duo Soule Monde. They are joined by Brooklyn-based guitar virtuoso Scott Metzger, known for his work with Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) and Medeski, Martin, Metzger & Cline (MMMC).
The spark for LaMP started one magical night in 2018 at Nectar’s in Burlington, Vermont when Lawton, Paczkowski, and Metzger first took the stage together and created a fresh and free sound, permeated with technical prowess and a deep-pocket punch. That performance revealed an immediate alchemy and led to the formation of LaMP, named from the first letters of the members’ surnames. Since then, the band has steadily built momentum through touring, recordings, and word-of-mouth buzz, earning a reputation as a must-see live act and a rising force in the instrumental music scene.
This concert is part of the band’s nationwide tour celebrating their acclaimed second studio release, One Of Us. The release showcases LaMP at the top of their game blending jazz and funk with kaleidoscopic grooves, imaginative compositions, and collective improvisation.
