LAW to PHX
LAW to PHX (pronounced Law the Phoenix) is the alt-americana project of Minneapolis singer/songwriter Justin Law and an ever-rotating cast of friends. With LAW the PHX, Justin taps into the influence of Patty Griffin and Minnesota legends like Jayhawks and Gear Daddies.
I GOT SCARED IN THE SUMMERTIME
The album was recorded and produced over the span of two summers with Law's longtime friend Matt Uttech. The goal, common to projects coming out of The Law Collective, was music from a collaboration of friendship. Justin and Matt began with songs Justin had been writing as a follow up to LAW to PHX's previous album, The Phoenix.
Fueled by MN beer and local pizza spot Pizza Luce, I Got Scared In The Summertime features lead guitarist Steve Bosmans, bassist Mark L. Jonsson, local singer/songwriters Brianna Kocka and Naomi Marie, with Uttech on multiple instruments.
The lead single "Snow King" dropped in April 2020 in the midst of a pandemic, carries the album's recurring themes of how the past is shaping our present and inviting us to ask deeper questions. Both gritty and spiritual, I Got Scared In The Summertime is available now on digital platforms.
