S.R. LAWS IS OUT THERE: He approaches songwriting with a passion for songs that we all grew up on. His sound rings a familiar bell in your head while still delivering ideas completely unique. He draws inspiration from outstanding storytellers like John Hiatt, Lou Reed, Steve Earle, Neil Finn and Ron Sexsmith. All of their music and others have carved a deep groove.
Growing up out there in Northern California, he developed a unique connection to music early on. His father worked as a trash collector, and he would spend hours sifting through bags of discarded 45 records. Each find felt like stumbling upon hidden treasures. Some records were covered in dirt and grime, while others were pristine. The thrill of discovering new sounds was exhilarating, and he could hardly wait to drop the needle and immerse himself in the music.
He embarked on a pilgrimage to Texas with just two suitcases and $500 in his bank account. His goal was to dive into the vibrant music scene and learn from fellow songwriters. Austin, known as the "Live Music Capital of the World," offered countless opportunities for him to grow as an artist. Open mics and songwriters' nights became his training ground, where he soaked up every moment, listening to others share their stories through music.
These days, he resides in Sonoma County, California, working hard as a touring artist and singer-songwriter for his original rock band, The Heartsleeves. He invites everyone to join him on this musical journey, sharing his songs one person at a time in this vast and unpredictable world we live in.

“Scott Ray Laws is an unique and really cool songwriter…he digs into materials, tells a story in his songs, and has a clean baritone vocality that is easy on the ears. We had a chance to meet and hang with Scott back in May ..and I HAD to have him back for a Wednesday evening.” Luigi- Owner-The Listening Room.
“..An ORIGINAL songwriter who knows how to tell a story clearly in song” - Scotty O’Neill - Guitarist/Promoter
“ It was such a treat catching your set last night — really refreshing to hear something new and original. Thanks for pulling up a chair and hanging out with us — we really enjoyed the conversation and the stories behind your songs.” -Tripp B. - Sonoma Songwriter
“Expect slow burning passion and vivid music …the kind of energy that turns into “let’s stay for just one more!..” - Doug- Owner/Wine Maker- Spicy Vines
“...His lyrics simply tell first-person stories from his own life. Nothing fancy, he's not writing to impress--he pours himself, as is, into each phrase and melody.”- Rebecca Roudman- Dirty Cello Radio Hour KRCB Radio 104.9 FM
“ It is through forthright lyrics that are personal and earnest, that he composes lyrical pictures. Taking snapshots from the most common walks of life...” - David Sampson - Producer Studio Secti West
“..relaxed mid-tempo Americana, capturing in each song the rhythmic pocket Laws is known for creating.” - Coyote Music Review 2024
