Larry Barnett has been on the
Dallas music scene since the late 1970's playing his special
style of jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll in clubs
and restaurants throughout the city. Larry has been featured
at corporate events including the City of Dallas Emery
Awards, Mary Kay Conventions, NFC Insurance Awards Banquets
and the Texas State Fair, to name a few. He has also
performed at major hotels in Las Vegas, Lake Tahoe and Reno,
Nevada. Larry has long considered the Pacific Northwest his
"second home" and became a familiar attraction at the
Western Washington Fair, the King County Fair and the Oregon
State Fair, among many others.
Born in East St.
Louis, Larry mastered the saxophone along side some of the
finest R&B musicians of the 1960's. He went on to tour the
United States and Canada, fine tuning his vocal skills while
adding the flute, guitar and clarinet to his repertoire of
talents. In 1986, Larry was signed to a recording contract
with MTM Records in Nashville. In 1988 he sang lead vocals
on two independently released top-forty singles.
Larry has performed
with such major artists as Ray Charles, Diamond Rio, The
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Righteous Brothers, The Beach
Boys, Billy Joe Royal, Little Richard, The Spinners, Paul
Revere and the Raiders, Ike and Tina Turner and The
Platters. Larry proudly plays PRS
Guitars, Bose Sound Systems and Cannonball Saxophones. |
