= The Lawd Alrighty (band) =

The Lawd Alrighty is a multi-genre music project started by California-based multi-instrumentalist Morgan Wenter. He began this home-recording project in 2017 in Sacramento, California and has since released two EP's in November 2018.

Wenter promotes himself without a record label, other bandmates, or a manager. Most of his self-produced music is sold online, with the exception of his first EP, "Utopians," which was released for free online.

Musical Style
The Lawd Alrighty, like many of Morgan Wenter's music projects, has never been limited by genres. His first 5-track EP released in November of 2018 titled "Utopians," featured simple recordings of acoustic and clean electric guitar, with well-written (and sometimes humorous) lyrics and vocal melodies. The genres on "Utopians" range from the upbeat folk to easy listening jazz, with some pop and indie rock influences.

His second studio EP released at the same time as his first, titled "Ship Already Sailed," was much heavier, both lyrically and instrumentally. Here, Wenter revealed to his audience a more heavily-produced synth-based genre of music. Some of the songs explore darker themes, while others keep an upbeat radio-friendly pop feel. This EP reveals Wenter's abilities to write melodically-rich songs with fascinating solos.

Future Releases
In 2019, The Lawd Alrighty is projected to release two new EP's, "Crystal Mama" and "Cut The Shit."

"Crystal Mama" has been revealed to be a light-hearted, bass-heavy funk album with Wenter's signature humorous lyrics.

"Cut The Shit" is expected to contain more guitar-driven, punk-influenced rock music.
