notes
Larry Vann has made an impressive mark on the San Francisco Bay Area music scene over the years, and one listen to his CD single, "Summertime In The Big City," (Rusty Key Records) clearly demonstrates why he has been in such huge demand for sessions and tours with the likes of Elvin Bishop, Merl Saunders and John Lee Hooker. His top-notch drumming and percussion has garnered him popular and critical success throughout the United States and Europe, but Vann has also wowed critics and crowds alike with his sultry singing voice, buoyed by his melodic, inventive songwriting.
A professional performer since age 15, Vann draws from a deep well of musical influence, including gospel, blues, funk, jazz and soul. These various genres have collectively shaped his unique sound, which is in full display on this CD single.
Vann's resume reads like a "Who's Who" list, having toured and recorded with those musicians listed above, as well as The Whispers, Martha Reeves, The Marvalettes, Charles Brown, Buffy Saint-Marie, Randy Crawford, and many more. His work with the popular San Francisco Bay Area blues group Ron Thompson and the Resistors contributed to the band earning two Bay Area Music Awards.
His impressive career also includes a motion picture role as a night club band member in the Academy Award-nominated Peggy Sue Got Married, as well as a stint with the Dominican College Symphony Orchestra. World tours with jazz pianist Brian Auger and blues harp legend Charlie Musselwhite round out a phenomenal career of music-making.
But, as "Summertime In The Big City" shows us, Vann is hitting yet another creative musical peak. His performing outfit, Larry Vann's Rhythm and Roots Ensemble, truly allows his various talents to take center stage. It is indeed a show not to be missed. Larry is also busy recording his next release, and his fans are chomping at the bit...
