Larry’s Newsletter
May 2026
Hello folks! It’s been a while since I wrote a newsletter.
It’s good to be able to share some good news again!
So, this year what happened?
Newsletters are supposed to be about the great places I will be playing, and /or upcoming events and new music I am doing! Unfortunately due to many different reasons and because I have become overwhelmed with many reasons of why I wasn't able to write newsletters for the last few years.
I have still been very busy playing quite a few Supper Clubs, Restaurants, Resorts, Anniversary parties, Private parties, over 95 different Assistant Living and Senior Centers, and many other functions spread all over the U.P. of Michigan, all over most of the Northwoods and central Wisconsin, but Unfortunately I have had to cut out driving back to play in the Chicago Area where I was raised!
All of the driving was putting too many miles on my truck and trailer which was making me visit the repair shops way more than I would like and could afford! I also had to take some time out to due some maintenance on musical equipment and my home!,
I also wanted to catch up on working on new music and my singing!
Last year I played Two Supper Clubs, and a Resort and a Bowling Alley, besides many of the Assisted living centers I used to play for.
I will be returning to play this year during the tourist season at Chef Rene’s in Eagle River Inn for my ninth year. This is located in Eagle River Wi. I also will be returning to a Supper Club in Land O Lakes Wisconsin. This the Twilight Supper Club. This supper club was sold to a new owner. He will be the 4th owner of this place I have played for! I also will be playing for the first time at the Northfork Finn & Filet Supper Club in Woodruff Wisconsin! Know for their great Steaks and Seafood and more. Then I will be returning back to the Garmisch USA Resort to play for their “Christmas Tree Lighting celebration”! This will be my 14th year playing for this great event! I also was asked by “The Alpha Michigan Brewing Company” to play for their Octoberfest celebrations for a few years! Now they have invited me to come play a few dates this summer!. And of course I continue to play for quite a few Assisted living and Senior centers this year!
I still love playing a lot of the old American standards (MY Favorites), Country, Jazz, Some big band
Swing, some blues, Pop and some Rock. Music from the 40’s, 50’s, 60’s,70’s, 80’s.
So, you may hear music from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, Englebert
Humperdink, Andy Williams, Paul Anka, Bobby Vinton, Bobby Darin, Michael Bublé, Ray Price, Jimmy
Buffet, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, John Denver, Glenn Campbell, the Platters, Neil Diamond, Elvis and
more! New Music this year from Neil Young, The Archies, and a bunch of new Latin Jazz Tunes , The Beatles, The Beach boys, The Eagles, and James Taylor and Carol King!
I have been in talks with many other restaurants and other places! So please keep checking this
website and the “Itinerary” page to see where I will be playing this year!
And as always, “I hope to see you Somewhere, Someplace, Sometime, Soon!”
God Bless!
