About
Hi, I’m Larry – a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and songwriter from Annapolis, MD. I’ve been performing, composing, and recording music since 1994.
I have a passion for original music and ideas, as well as a deep love for traditional and folk music. I am a chameleon, and I draw my inspiration from a diverse realm of influences including Jazz Fusion, Bluegrass, Funk, R&B, Blues, Classical, Bossa Nova, and Irish Traditional Music.
Much of the music I embrace was not designed for modern mass media, nor was it ever particularly popular there, but its enduring legacy is a testament to its worth as fads in music constantly rise and fall.
Music has always been central to my life, and I believe in its power to bring people together and foster positivity, creativity, and compassion within communities.
