Bio


Des Larson is an entertainer from the West Coast. Style and small town heart bridges the gap, allowing the music to appeal to the masses. Des was born to perform. Church was what started his passion, ever since, singing has been a life long intensive. "In church, my mother would kick me to stand up and sing. Now I'll never stop performing thanks to her." (on CHLY Radio Interview).

With straight-to-the-heart vocals, soulful falsetto,
mesmerizing guitar work and promising future, its hard
not to be a Des Larson fan.

His band is a "deadly" trio. Consistent and reliable. A new six track Ep and Music Video will be released late March. Inspired by a long road of dedication, these songs are a product of a decade of preparation.
