Larry Reidt (pronounced "REEEET") is an artist, poet, writer, and activist but mostly he's a songwriter.
ONE BOY is Larry Reidt’s 3rd CD and the 1st to be released with the help of CD Baby. ONE BOY features 10 original folk/rock gems with a twist of psychedelic fun. As of this CD’s release, "I’m You’re Wrecking Ball" has already climbed to number 15 on the Music Tampa Bay audio streaming website featuring the best of Tampa Bay’s local songwriters. Previously, "Love like Lightning" reached the number two spot while "Water on Mars" (from Larry’s 2nd release SPENDING THE DAY) climbed all the way up to number 1! Currently, Larry is one of the seven featured artist for the summer of 2009, placing all of his songs into the website’s rotation! Visit www.musictampabay.com for more!
Larry has been writing songs for absolutely ever. He writes about the stuff you've got happening. Love, Life, Joy, Loss and the path we're all on. He's been noted for his passionate, furious vocals and innovative acoustic 12 string guitar style. Larry digs deep on every song and that's why we listen. He writes the songs that get under our skin and stay put. He hails from Grand Rapids, Michigan just like Gerald Ford but you shouldn't let that trouble you. He’s played a zillion places & made a lot of friends. He makes his home in Florida now. Oddly enough, he really misses snow.
Larry had been writing & performing the last few years with the groovy improv zen band Hazard Factor with guitar wiz & pal Dave Eichenberger and they have two CDs out together (Digging for Stars, 2001 & Primordiance, 2003). Hazard Factor has gone away, but LR keeps writing. His new release, ONE BOY, is now available right here on CD Baby!
