Floodgate Operators Delivers Their New Track, ‘Lawrence’

(Los Angeles, CA) March 25, 2022 - Crested Butte, Colorado-based bluegrass band Floodgate Operators has released the third single of their upcoming 10-track debut album “Flood The World,” which is set for an April release. Their latest tune, ‘Lawrence,’ is out today via Squid Rider Records. ‘Lawrence’ kicks things off with sweet-toned guitar chords, featuring great vocal harmonies and their signature western sound just like their first two singles.

Co-written by Scott Stewart and Kevin Doherty, this four-minute musical creation was envisioned during the COVID lockdown. The Floodgate Operators guitarists sent voice memos and emailed back and forth until the song started to take shape. On ‘Lawrence,’ Stewart reflects on a story about young, long-distance love between two people and their times traveling together.

Consisting of Kevin Doherty (twelve-string guitar), Ryan Maddux (banjo), Scott Stewart (six-string guitar), Zach Vaughter (mandolin), and Sebastian Akesson (bass), the 5-piece bluegrass band was formed in 2018 and is known for its vibrant, full-hearted original music. Floodgate Operators made their first splash in 2020 with their debut EP, ‘Drought Driven Days,’ building up a solid foundation as they gear towards “Flood The World.”

‘Lawrence’ is now available for streaming on all music platforms, including Spotify. For more details on Floodgate Operators, including their live performances and festivals, visit their website and follow them on Instagram.
