Larry Friends and Family (LF&F) was founded in 1970 as a folk-rock act showcasing original material as a guitar and bass trio (originally named simply "Larry). Powerful multipart vocals became a signature for the band as it grew audiences by bringing together classical, jazz, rock and folk elements, creating something altogether new.
As the music drew numerous fans, "Larry" became "Larry Friends and Family". Addition of personnel bringing piano, keyboards and the power of up to six voices weaving together in complex multipart harmonies became the hallmark of the band.
In the early 1970's, LF&F recorded in studio the full length album of original songs entitled, "Cycles". While originally intended for production and release as a vinyl LP, the band stopped performing in 1973 and the album production was shelved. In late 2006 at an annual gathering, LF&F imagined completion and release of the album as a CD after so many years, and the analogue master was restored and digitally re-mastered in 2008. The Cycles compact disc was independently released for both physical and digital distribution in March 2010.
LF&F reunited in 2009 for periodic live stage performances and since then has opened for Acoustic Strawbs, John Ford of Strawbs, and headlined shows in intimate listening clubs. LF&F celebrates 50+ years of making music together - then, now and in the future!
