Larry Stevens Band
Some people are just born with music coursing through their veins. Larry Stevens has been singing and performing since he was merely 5 years old. An accomplished singer-songwriter, Stevens has shared the stage with many national acts including Gin Blossoms, Blood Sweat & Tears, Kenny Loggins, Huey Lewis and the News, Foreigner, The Doobie Brothers, America, and Peter Frampton, just to name a few. Hopping over the bridge to NYC, Stevens has found himself on stage at some of the most sought-after venues such as The Bitter End, Kenny’s Castaways, and The Iridium, and also has performed at many noteworthy venues in New Jersey including Bergen Performing Arts Center (bergenPAC), PNC Bank Arts Center, New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), and the Quick Chek New Jersey Festival of Ballooning. While living in Nashville, Stevens wrote, collaborated and performed with many of the most prominent names in the music world, and performed at the most coveted singer/songwriter venue in the world, the legendary Bluebird Café, as well as many other important stages.
With years of experience performing in diverse settings, Stevens is a dynamic entertainer with a gift for reading his audience. The melodies in his original material have been compared to those of Jack Johnson, Plain White T’s and the Beatles. Stevens is currently in the studio working on his newest CD, and has had the privilege of including world-renowned musicians such as Liberty Devitto (Billy Joel), George Small (Graham Parker/John Lennon), Muddy Shews (Southside Johnny), Jimmy Clark (Blondie/Joan Jett), and Kenny Vaughan (Marty Stuart/Lucinda Williams) on many of his recordings.
