"When Larry Zarella opens his suitcase of original songs, there's no telling what will get pulled out. Heartbreakingly beautiful... clever... as well as laugh-out-loud funny songs. He draws the audience in with his stories and powerful music. He's clearly one of Alaska's best-kept secrets." - Trudy Heffernan, Acoustic Adventures Promotions
"Larry is a great songwriter, not only are his lyrics and melodies compelling, on top of that, he has something worthwhile to say." -Bill Staines
"Larry's recordings are immediately listenable. They are almost as good as seeing him live. This guy has a voice that is both powerful and sensitive, a sincere and engaging stage presence, and a strong, expressive guitar style. He writes from the heart about love, friendships, community, and humorous situations that pervade life in rural Alaska...."-Esther Golton, Whole Wheat Radio
Hi Larry, All the way from CKV Iraq, i have some guys who are really enjoying your music. "sunrise its morning the EAST coast is burning a hole in my heart..." How true that verse is for me NOW, Yesterday, and tomorrow. keep singing!!!!!! Dana
Once in a great while a moment passes by that shouldn’t be forgotten, a moment that makes believers out of the most stubborn of foes. I wish this moment to be that one magical, special instant in time when you know beyond all doubt that you have all you need to succeed!
Great concert last night at WWR, Larry. A clip of you singing lured me to Talkeetna years ago and I'm the better for it and your rendition of "Blackbird" last night made me weep in spite of myself. All the best in your travels across all of the great lands of life.
Hi Larry, how's it going? "Learn" is beutiful.. you know, a tune that could have nicely fit on the soundtrack of "Into The Wild" (stupendous).. In Blues We Trsut, umBlues
I would LOVE to see you- has been too long since I have had an LZ hug! Lots of news and plans in my world...and I wonder about yours! Hope we can hook up while you are in town- and if you need a crash pad in Anchorage- I have an extra room with your name on it(and Laura, Maureen and Diane...)ANYTIME. I am having lunch with Laura and her sister today- looking forward to meeting the infamous Martha! Be well!
