Button Masher with the Andrew Lawrence Trio — live event
Jake Silverman, also known as Button Masher, is a GRAMMY-winning arranger, electronic musician, composer and educator. In 2018, Silverman began to experiment with combining Jazz Fusion with chiptune. Since that time, Silverman’s genre bending music has garnered popularity with jazz lovers and video games fans from all over the world. He received the 2021 GRAMMY Award for Best Arrangement: Instrumental or A Cappella for his and Charlie Rosen’s arrangement of “Meta Knight’s Revenge” as recorded by the 8-Bit Big Band. In 2024 he was nominated for a second GRAMMY for his work with Charlie Rosen on their arrangement of “The Last Surprise” in the category of Best Arrangement: Instruments and Vocals. Button Masher can be heard with notable artists such as Phoenix, The 8-Bit Big Band, Evan Marien, Adam Neely, Sungazer, Andrew Huang, Dj Cutman, and many more. Andrew Lawrence is one of the top-call pianists and keyboardists for live performances and recordings in the Chicago-area. Andrew's fluidity with classical and jazz piano, in addition to keyboards and synthesizers, has allowed him to perform with a wide variety of artists in a broad range of styles. He has played with such artists as Makaya McCraven, Greg Ward, Matt Ulery, and Sean Jones and the Cleveland Jazz Orchestra. In addition to his freelance work, Andrew splits his time between the prog rock band District 97, a weekly residency at aliveOne in Chicago with the jazz fusion band Bonzo Squad, the high-octane nine-piece horn band New Nostalgia, the world's premiere Chrono Trigger cover band Kingdom of Zeal, and the Andrew Lawrence Trio. His debut solo album, "Trialogue," was released in January 2019, and rose to #8 on the Roots Music Reports jazz charts. His most recent EP "Live at Chicago Electric Piano Company" was released in February 2025. "His playing on this generous, sixteen-track release is virtuosic, his enthusiastic engagement equaled by his inspired partners, and the high-wire spirit pervading the faster numbers makes for exciting music."--Textura
