Larry Berwald grew up in the citrus belt of Florida, and was forever affected along with thousands of adolescents by the Beatles' appearance on The Ed Sullivan show in 1964. High School Top 40 bands were the incubators of eventual serious musicianship, and college liberal arts studies just served to delay the inevitable. The 70's were marked by serious pursuit of professional musicianship, which culminated in a three-year stint as lead guitarist with Wet Willie, a Southern Rock Icon and another three years as lead guitarist for Jimmy Hall. Several albums on Epic records documented Larry's guitar work including the Billboard top 20 tunes "Street Corner Serenade" and "Weekend. Larry's recent musical endeavors have taken him into an exploration of the solo acoustic guitar and guitar family instruments, including the steel bodied resonator guitar, lap steel and the hauntingly beautiful harp guitar. Larry's debut CD, "Reflect On" was released by Cimirron/Rainbird Records in June of 2002. Larry enjoys playing as a sideman with many area players (see sonyalorelle.com, mikeaikenmusic.com, bobbyblackhat.com, and myspace.com/katebrownandlarryb .) He also enjoys jamming with area bands on anything from blues to western swing on electric, dobro and steel guitars.
