Lawrence Rothman

Lawrence Rothman is a nonbinary singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and one of contemporary music's most fearless storytellers. Their fifth studio album, Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust, arrives September 25 via KRO Records and serves as the culmination of a deeply personal trilogy that began with Good Morning, America (2021) and continued with The Plow That Broke the Plains (2024).

Written between Biarritz, France and Nashville, Tennessee, and recorded at Nashville's legendary Sound Emporium, the new album explores transformation through hardship, tracing themes of addiction and recovery, love and loss, gender identity, and the lifelong search for meaning. Produced by Rothman and featuring collaborations with Amanda Shires, Jason Isbell, Katie Pruitt, Sarah Klang, and Jillian Jacqueline, the record embraces the imperfections and vulnerability that define the human experience.

For more than two decades, Rothman has built a singular career both as an artist and behind the scenes, producing and writing with acclaimed musicians including Angel Olsen, Margo Price, Amanda Shires, Kali Uchis, Girl in Red, Alison Mosshart, Kim Gordon, and Lucinda Williams. Their genre-defying catalog blends folk, country, rock, and experimental influences into songs that balance emotional honesty with fearless creativity.

Raised in St. Louis and now based between Los Angeles and Nashville, Rothman continues to create music rooted in resilience, transformation, and connection. Here Lies Love / Sawdust to Stardust stands as both a reckoning with the past and a testament to the power of embracing every imperfect chapter that shapes who we become.
