WILD TIMES
"BLUES & A BOOK SIGNING!"
Spent an evening in Virginia trying a new gig - We were due to play at Talons on November 24 but this night would prove a bit different...there was a horror author among us - lurking in a corner - signing books - pretty spooky but all the same she enjoyed the show and I enjoyed entertaining her by doin' a little slide playin' with her book The All Soul's Faire - we had great fun and she hooked me up with her publicist who actually helped create this page...way cool group!
Come on in, pull up a chair and let me
sing you a tune....
Tom Larsen has been a major player on
the east coast music scene for the last twenty-five years. Originally,
a solo performer, Larsen specialized in the acoustic blues of the
1920’s & 30’s, covering such artists as Robert Johnson and Blind Willie
McTell.
Tom’s Expanding love of Blues music soon moved him to add the electric
styles of Muddy Waters, Guitar Slim and B.B. King. Tom became
especially noted for his intricate clean slide guitar playing and for
his abilities to play harmonica and guitar simultaneously.
Besides performing his solo Blues act, this was a period of intense
wood shedding as Tom taught himself electric guitar by listening to old
Blues records from the 60’s & 70’s. To date, Tom’s music has been
covered by Johnny Winter and recorded by Delbert McCinton, Roy
Buchannan, and Tinsley Ellis. His music has been featured in movie
soundtracks, commercials and many of his songs are in the repertoires
of regional acts looking to perk up their shows with an original Larsen
tune.
While the Tom Larsen Band performs 100% original music they still enjoy
performing classic Blues and Soul hits to suit a particular venue or
per the request of an audience member.
THE BAND
It takes more than a one man army to
tune you into the blues...
Tom's the lead vocals, lead rhythm and
slide guitar and plays the harmonica. Craig Roberts plays bass and
does background vocals. Charles Calloway also plays bass and does
background vocals. Tony Robinson keeps the beat on the drums.
