Biography


Larry is a founding member and 'the voice' of the band Orleans, whose critically acclaimed music and memorable harmonies are loved the world over. Tens of millions of people around the world instantly recognize Larry's uplifting tenor from Orleans' timeless classic mega-hits: Still the One, Dance with Me and the self-penned Love Takes Time, Let There Be Music, Juliet, Forever and Spring Fever. BMI has certified "Still the One" & "Dance With Me" with a combined airplay of over 6 million and counting!

A superb multi-instrumentalist, Larry is equally at home on keyboards or guitar, fluid on bass, Hohner Melodica, and trumpet. His vocal and instrumental talents have been featured on tours and album releases by such diverse artists as Graham Parker, Michael Franks, Italian pop star Brando, Lulu, Felix Cavaliere, and Livingston Taylor. Recently he contributed his unique style of Hammond B-3 organ on CDs released in 1997 by the Screaming Cheetah Wheelies and Blues Traveler.


In 1996, Larry produced his first solo album outside of Orleans, The UnHerd's Looking for the Light. With David Sancious, Tony Levin, Terry Silverlight and other world class artists Larry created a wonderful collection of meaningful compositions. All CD sales profits and 100% of Larry's publishing are donated to Sunshine for HIV Kids, which he and wife Patricia, a Physician's Assistant, co-founded in 1993. The symbiotic combination of Larry's musical career and charitable efforts is something to which he is deeply committed. Here's a comment from one of the beneficiaries of Sunshine's work:


In September 1997, Larry was awarded the Shining Star Award for his work through Sunshine for HIV Kids. The annual award was given by Hospice, ARCS of the Hudson Valley and Angel Food East at their Night of Stars event. It was a highlight of Larry's year and indeed, his life.

Larry's just finished his latest CD as singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist in his own right "Handmade" features insightful, powerful and romantic lyrics and composition which is bound to delight fans of music with strong melodies and textural substance.  Click here to purchase your own copy of Handmade.

Most recently, Larry has been touring globally with RPM  whose members enjoy 25 Gold Albums, 26 Platinum and Multi-Platinum Albums, 57 Top Forty singles, 25 Top Ten singles, and 10 Number One Hits! Larry also is very active performing corporate engagements with Hihat Productions'  ACE All Star Band, as well as performances at Universal Orlando and frequent gigs with The Shaboo All Stars, charity fundraisers and other events, literally around the world.

He currently lives in Florida with his smart wife, beautiful twin girls, four cats, and dog Elmo.
