Theo Lawrence: French Bred, Country Raised

Growing up in Paris, France, Austin-based country singer/songwriter Theo Lawrence was surrounded by pop and hip-hop music. His affinity for old country music distinguished him from his peers, and drove him to spend hours pouring over albums and concert recordings checked out from the local media lending library. While his peers listened to modern pop, Lawrence devoured Hank Williams, Loretta Lynn, Elvis, Carl Smith, Jim Reeves, and Kitty Wells.
