Since relocating to Florida in 1978, Lawrence has been the leader of two radio orchestra -- The WFTL Orchestra and the WLQY "Music of Your Life" Orchestra -- and has run his own successful booking agency, Tops in Music and Entertainment.

As a pianist/conductor, Lawrence has performed with such well-known performers as Allan Jones, Mel Torme, Cab Calloway, Steve Allen, Claire Barry, Mickey Katz, Don Cornell, Tiny Tim, Howard Keel, Dion and Freddy "Boom-Boom" Cannon and The Crystals. In November, Lawrence completed a multi-city tour with Shirley Bassey. He has also toured with the internationally-renowned Klezmer ensemble, "The Epstein Brothers Orchestra, and appears in their recent film, "A Tickle in the Heart." He was also the musical director for the Manhattan Dinner Theater's recent production of "Picon Pie," the musical biography of Yiddish Theatre great, Molly Picon.

Currently, Gary Lawrence and Jan Kroupa are performing through Florida with The Songs of the Sunshine State, a musical salute to Florida. Lawrence is also traveling internationally with The Classical Jazz Trio, a unique and informative presentation of jazz and pop, derived from classical masterworks. In addition, Lawrence performs as Gershon, The Yiddishe Ragtime Man, a unique one-man show featuring Yiddish-American novelty songs along with traditional Klezmer music.
