Artist Information Biography Larry's writing remembers the spirit of the grizzly, the spirit of the woods, even the spirit of his little cabin. All of them are there, in his songs, and he introduces his listeners to them as the old friends that they are.  Each one tells a story that brings you a little closer to the story teller.  To experience Larry's performance is to enjoy a true folk artist.  Larry's songs have been heard on television and have been included on many compilation discs. Larry returned to the East Coast in 2006 after recording his latest record, No Place Special, as a tribute and fundraiser for a Massachusetts family raising two daughters with life-threatening disabilities.  Larry has shared the stage with:           Livingston Taylor           Jonathan Edwards         Tom Russell     Susan Werner         Guy Davis            Todd Snider         Janis Ian          Bill Staines         Pierce Pettis    Fred Eaglesmith         Les Sampou    Mark Erelli         Dan Bern          Natalia Zukerman         Denali Cooks    Chuck Brodsky       Venues/Festivals: 2009: chosen as Formal showcase artist for SERFA 2009 Kerville New Folk Finalist 2009 TKMA Songwriters Contest finalist 2008 Nerfa Tri-Centric showcase artist Talkeetna Blue Grass Festival (AK) Hunter Creek (Ak) Moose Dropping Festival (Ak) Plymouth Folk Festival (Vt) Millenium Music Conference (Pa.)
