The band is led by New York-based siblings, Clyde and Gracie Lawrence, accompanied by six other band members. Lawrence blends old school with new sounds, propelling the group on “a mission to write the music they wish “pop” sounded like”. Breakfast integrates pop soul with deeply rooted R&B vibes, all the while pulling classic sounds from musical influences such as The Beatles, Randy Newman, Etta James, Stevie Wonder and Janis Joplin.

Norwegian bassist and composer Mats Eilertsen has a special talent for uniting heterogeneous elements, eliciting deep and touching resonances from them, and letting them sound like a family of beautiful and complementary voices. An impressive example was his recent Memorabilia, a new work commissioned by this year’s Jazz Festival in Trondheim - the town of Eilertsen’s birth - for his trio with Harmen Fraanje (p) and Thomas Strønen (dr) together with the vocals/violin of Trio Mediæval.
