American Idol alum Alex Miller to play at funeral for drummer, studio founder Mark Laws
Services will be held Saturday for drummer Mark Laws, who was shot to death on May 25. Laws, 62, of Harrogate, Tennessee, will be honored in a ceremony at the Cawood Funeral Home Chapel in Middlesboro, Kentucky, from 1 to 3 p.m. A procession will follow the chapel service, and Laws will be buried at the Kibert Cemetery in Arthur, Tennessee, where graveside services will also be held. Laws was shot twice with a 9mm handgun at a home on Old Pearman Lane in Cumberland Gap, Tennessee, according to a Claiborne County homicide affidavit. Claiborne County Sheriffs deputies arrested Laws' stepson, Maxwell Alan Madon, 25, and charged him with criminal homicide. Laws founded The Curve Recording Studio and worked with some of the biggest names in country music. He played drums for Little Jimmy Dickens, Bill Carlilse, Larry Cordle and Pam Perry. For the past five years, Laws had been working with American Idol alum Alex Miller (who was on the television show's 19th season) as a drummer and band leader. Miller, a recording artist for Billy Jam Records, will play at the funeral. Laws is survived by his wife, Kristi; son Blake (Christy) Laws; grandchildren Brady and Caleigh Beth Laws; mother Patsy Laws; brothers Donnie (Anna) Laws and Randy (Barb) Laws; sister Robin (Greg) Daniels; and father-in-law Don Gulley, as well as many nieces and nephews, a funeral announcement said.
