Des Larson is an entertainer, who involves his audience and peers with his music. Ultimately, to relate and set the groove and mood to share together. However he may be a roots/ rock/ reggae performer but as you will soon tell, “every
artist has to relate to a genre, but every listener has to relate to a genre that fits their mood.” Style and creativity are his main keys when writing musical progressions. Enjoy!
Larson creates an instant groove that combines a reggae beat energy with the lyrical style of songwriters like Jack Johnson. It's hard not to become a Des Larson fan.
Des has been compared to some amazing artists including Dave Matthews and Andrew Allen. His influences include John Mayer, John Butler Trio, Kim Churchill, Jason Mraz and many more.
You can catch a performance by Des Larson with special guests 50th Parallel at the Waverley Hotel on May 10th at 9:30pm. $10 Cover
