"If you haven't discovered the blues brilliance of Larry Garner,
then you should jump on this bandwagon. These are blues for today, good
to the last note stuff." - Big City Blues American bluesman Larry
Garner has found a true musical soul mate in British blues veteran Norman
Beaker. Garner may have paid his dues in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while
Beaker cut his gigging teeth in northern England with people such as Alexis
Korner , Jack Bruce, Jimmy Rogers, BB King etc ; put them on stage
together, and they are definitely drawing from the same musical roots.
Garners powerful vocals and expressive musicianship make him a natural
front man his songs are delivered with a sense of irony with lyrics that
are both meaningful and amusing, added to this Larry has a wonderfully
expressive voice, is a fine guitarist and a great performer.

situations, this is a coming together of two modern day Troubadours with
something new
