Drummer, composer, and band leader, Gerald Law II, built a reputation as the go-to drummer for jazz and R&B artists in Central Florida. If you’ve seen him play, you know why he’s affectionately called “the smiling drummer.” From his drum throne, Law drives the rhythm and elevates the performance of everyone around him. That includes his band of versatile virtuosos, The Clutch, who bring audiences to incredible heights with music that always grooves, whether simmering with soulful energy or exploding in creative improvisation.

Having released two albums in 2020 (From G to You: Vol. I & Vol. II), Law is poised to break out in the coming years with high profile performances and more relentlessly creative compositions and recordings. He followed these releases with albums in 2021 (From G. to You, Vol. III) and 2022 (Sensory Vibes, Vol. I). Maybe his famous on-stage smile comes from feeling so at home making music—or maybe he’s just happy to see us.
