As a 16-year-old in his father’s home in Ventura, California, Larry Burnett wrote his first song. 10 years later, “Cinderella” (“one of the most frighteningly beautiful love songs ever made”, said one reviewer) was dominating the airwaves around the world as a single release from the debut album from Firefall. Fans were screaming their recognition at the distinctive opening hook of the song that began every Firefall performance for the next 9 years.
For a band that could have become famous for only a few shallow love songs, Larry Burnett’s songs and singing added a diversity and edginess, as well as an irony in his own observations in affairs of the heart, which broadened the band’s fan base and life span.
Firefall concerts, heavily laden with Burnett’s songs, betrayed the innocence portrayed by the lighter side represented by his songwriting counterpart, Rick Roberts.
Having composed and sung lead on half of the songs that the band recorded, Larry Burnett demonstrated formidable talent and insight into the minds and hearts of millions of music lovers.
The songs of Firefall and Larry Burnett have been cited as major influences in the lives and music of such artists as Garth Brooks and Travis Tritt.
Larry's first post-Firefall album, a solo acoustic EP titled Confidence Game, was released in 2004. Reviewer Michael McDonald wrote of the disc: "Hearing the CD on the first listen is like being reacquainted with an old friend and discovering he was still as rock solid as ever. In many ways the CD is a six song teaser of so many cool things to come...it also reminds us that it's the work of a true songwriter at the top of his game..."
Larry and co-conspirator Tom Hampton are currently busy recording the follow up to Confidence Game, which will be Larrys' first full-length album release since his Firefall days. Hopes are high that the album will be finished in the spring of 2007, with an accelerated concert schedule to follow.

CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
