“Go With the Flow” is the 5th full-length album from award-winning singer-songwriter Bradley Lauretti.

This new collection of 10 songs was written mostly in Nashville, TN in the wake of a breakup. After his last album “Real Job” (2016) was released Brad toured across Europe and Canada by himself, left Florida, moved to Nashville, and finished writing the songs for this album from a balcony in Barcelona.

“Go With the Flow” was recorded in Dalton, MA at the Stationery Factory by Johnny Irion (Producer, Mixing and Engineer) on a Studer Tape Machine previously owned by Jackson Browne, which Johnny shipped across the country. Brad and Johnny formed a spirited collaboration that included Johnny on Background Vocals, Electric Guitar, Piano, Organ and drummer Brian Kantor (Fruit Bats, Vetiver) with songwriter Wes Buckley on Bass, and Rory Verbrugge on pedal steel to create a classic analog sound.

Originally from Brooklyn, NY, but with stints in Nashville and Jacksonville, Brad is known for his DIY tenacity and extremely entertaining intimate live shows. Whether it is a house concert, a listening room, or a streaming concert. Over the last few years, he has traversed North America and Europe including Canada and Scandinavia and even played concerts in Colombia and Tunisia. One night with Brad will run the gamut of all human emotions from humor, hedonism, activism and heartbreaking sadness. From folk-rock anthems to indie folk, flares of cosmic Americana, psychedelic, alt-country, to straight-up storytelling sometimes you get it all in one song. Influenced by classic songwriters like JJ Cale, John Prine, Billy Bragg, Kris Kristofferson, and Townes Van Zandt his timeless songs mix love, humor, and protest seamlessly to get you through the tough times.

The new song “South Dakota” is a finalist in the 2020 Chris Austin Songwriting Contest (Merlefest) and has ben included on Spotify's "Indigo" "Emerging Americana" and "Cosmic Country" playlists. Brad has performed all over the world including at Woody Guthrie Folk Festival, Folk Alliance International, Nordic Folk Alliance, Live at Heart, Magnolia Festival, Hickey Fest, Gamble Rogers Folk Festival, Gram Parsons Guitar Pull, End of the Road (UK), Reeperbahn, Incubate, Athfest, Sing Out Loud, Savannah Stopover. He is also the founder of the Stetson Kennedy Songwriter Residency in Fruit Cove, FL.
