Songwriter and guitarist David Harrison brings soulful vocals and melodic playing to Lawson’s Finest Liquids in Waitsfield, offering modern textures with a timeless feel. Based in Saranac Lake in New York’s Adirondacks, he writes candid, emotionally honest songs that mirror everyday life, blending folk, country, rock, funk, and alternative into a sound that resists easy labels. His performances cultivate a welcoming atmosphere where the audience feels included and part of the experience. His debut single “These Stones” explores devotion, patience, and the burdens we carry, signaling a compelling new presence in Americana. The setting is an independent, B Corp certified Vermont craft brewery recognized as Brewery of the Year by Brewbound and Beer Connoisseur. The taproom pours beer right at the source, from the flagship IPA Sip of Sunshine to distinctive maple-inspired brews, and pairs them with a local food menu and broad Green Mountain views. The brewery also invests in its community through a Social Impact Program that has supported more than 400 nonprofits and contributed over $3 million.
