From Paris to Texas: A Frenchman's Country Music Dream Takes Flight
Theo Lawrence did not grow up with American country music. He discovered it in a library near Paris. Now, the French-born singer calls Texas home. He moved there in 2023, the same year he released his debut album, "Cherie." His music blends classic country sounds with his unique cross-Atlantic perspective. His career is accelerating. Lawrence is preparing for a major coast-to-coast tour. It includes a landmark performance at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, where he will open for Alison Krauss & Union Station. Listen to Theo Lawrence perform his new single, "Lonely Too Long."
