ARTIST PROFILE: Lawrie Duckworth

Lawrie Duckworth is a British singer, songwriter, composer and band leader known for his lyrical intelligence, dark humour and original instrumentation.

In another age, Duckworth would have been a troubadour, a flaneur, a mariachi. Going from town to town playing his songs in return for a flagon of wine and a meat pie. In this age… Well, what kind of pies you got? He is a showman, a gunslinger, a lover, and a storyteller.

Having toured the UK and Europe with The Duckworths, Lawrie needed more. He carried his guitar from old Havana to New Delhi looking for unusual characters and melodies before finding a second home in New Orleans. He performs hundreds of wildly dynamic shows with guest musicians every week.

“It can be a surreal ride, it can be a black comedy or you can play it to your grandma” – The Guardian

An introduction to Outlaw Country

Outlaw Country is a subgenre of American country music created by a small group of artists active in the 1970s and early 1980s, known collectively as the outlaw movement, who fought for and won their creative freedom outside of the Nashville establishment that dictated the sound of most country music of the era.

Outlaw country emerged in the 1970s as a rebellious response to the polished sound of mainstream country. Pioneers like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Johnny Cash embraced a raw, gritty style that blended traditional country with rock and folk influences. Their music, often infused with anti-establishment lyrics and a renegade spirit, celebrated personal freedom and rejected Nashville’s corporate control.

This genre continues to stand for independence and authenticity, with its renegade spirit echoing through modern artists like Sturgill Simpson and Tyler Childers. Outlaw country remains a powerful reminder that sometimes, the best way to sing a country song is to do it your own way.

So let’s sing Happy Birthday, Outlaw Country style, and celebrate your day with gritty tunes, rebellious spirit, and a wish as wild and free as the open road. Here’s to living life on your own terms in the year ahead!
