Singing Group
This is Jason Lawrence and the singing group Fire and Ice! We are now regularly singing in the Austria, & Slovenia area. You will often find us singing on the Slovenian coast near Trieste, Italy.
I was raised in Washington D.C. My mother's family originates in rural eastern Kentucky where I was born. We can trace our ancestry back 200 years to the first Americans, both English & Native American originating with Pocahontas & the Bowling's of Virginia. My father's parents emigrated from Sicily. My father died when I was 5. At age 7 a Hensley from Shenandoah Valley Virginia became my stepfather. One of 11 brothers (all accomplished musicians) & 1st cousin to the late Country Singer Megastar, Patsy Cline. I was raised in an atmosphere of “live music” rocking Grandma’s house every weekend! My childhood memories are filled with family entertainment. Country, Bluegrass, & Rock n Roll was as natural as Grandma’s apple pie! As a teenager I hit the road with mixed emotions about the world around me. I saw music as a vehicle to awaken the consciousness of its listener. Although my perspective has broadened with a deeper more spiritual significance, singing of hope, comfort, & reassurance & awakening the heart with a few strums from my guitar continues to be my goal. Although life is full of trauma & tragedy, I believe musical expression is one valuable gift worth sharing.
