Multi-instrumentalist Ren Lawton has had a diverse, often tumultuous, career in the music world. Originally performing under his own name, Conor Owen, he experienced the highs of supporting the likes of We Are Scientists and The Subways
.With a notable ability to play a varied section of instruments - from guitars and trumpet to harmonica and piano - Ren Lawton was a project that would transform Conor’s style of music. He was able to create mature vignettes inspired by the great storytellers from music and beyond such as Bob Dylan and Frank O‘Connor. The result is debut album, Today Today Tomorrow; a collection of songs, emotive and personal.
Conor’s atmospheric brand of contemporary folk has resonated far and wide. With over 1 million Spotify streams of single ‘Piece of Your Heart’ as well as airplay on Tom Robinson (BBC Radio 6), BBC Wales, BBC Newcastle and BBC Bristol. He has also picked up press support from tastemakers such as Clash Magazine, Folk Radio, Thank Folk For That, For Folk’s Sake, Americana UK, Narc, Fame Magazine, Contact Music and many more.
