Touring the UK and Europe March /
April / May 2013
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.Larry
was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he picked up on the Swamp Blues music
popular in that area, inspired by artistes such as Silas Hogan and Clarence
Edwards, he has won just about every award including WC Handy and BB King
awards
Like Larry, Norman’s songs are also full of social
comment and modern day situations, this is a coming together of two modern day
Troubadours with something new to say."-
