aka Cerrucho

Originally from Wichita, Kansas, Larry moved to Nashville in 1975. His easygoing demeanor and musical versatility have made him the sideman of choice for many singer/songwriters and recording artists.

Larry is perhaps best known for his sonic inventiveness.  For years, audiences have been amazed by his ability to produce incredibly varied textures from a Fender Strat and a relatively simple effects rack. His intuitive grasp of the inner workings of signal processing devices and the subsequent musical applications he has developed have helped to expand the vocabulary of the electric guitar. The advances in technology since have kept Larry in the forefront of new guitar sounds, all the while emphasizing the musicality of his innovations.

Larry has recorded with contemporary folk and acoustic artists such as David Wilcox, Lainie Marsh, David Mallett, and Buddy Mondlock, toured with country artists Steve Earle, Gail Davies, and Dan Seals, and has  shared the stage with artists such as Al Kooper, Steve Winwood, David Palmer (Jethro Tull),  Jimmy Webb, Charlie Musselwhite  and Joe Walsh. He has played on albums by rockers  including  Johnny Van Zant, J. Geils front man Peter Wolf, and R&B standouts Tracy Nelson,  Felix Cavaliere, Pebble Daniels  and Johnny Neel. Larry’s love for the exotic sounds of jazz, Latin, and world music led him to Tone Patrol in 1987, and later the salsa big band Grupo YaYa, where he can be heard playing the Puerto Rican cuatro, in addition to acoustic  and electric guitar. He also contributed cuatro to the latin lounge project Charanga Cakewalk.

In January 1997, Guitar Player Magazine's 30th Anniversary Issue included Larry in a feature article titled "The Dirty Thirty", which profiled such diverse guitar players as Buckethead, Junior Brown, Bill Frisell, and Neil Young. He currently is recording and touring as a member of the Edwin McCain Band. Shortly after joining up with Edwin, the band achieved commercial success with the hit songs “I’ll Be” and “I Could Not Ask For More”. They continue to play to packed venues across the U.S. Most of the time, however, Larry can be found in Wimberley, Texas, consistently turning in some of the most creative and tasteful guitar work to be found anywhere.
