Harmonica player/B-3-organ/piano/singer Larry "Big House" David has been playing and singing the blues since he discovered the music as a teenager in Philadelphia. Moving to Boston and attending Berklee College of Music (briefly) he took a U turn musically speaking and started playing bluegrass and C&W music in local bands.Not satisfied with the local scene Larry moved to Nashville and ended up playing on Nashville's legendary Grand Ole Opry for more than twenty performances.Once again wanderlust gave way to a permanent move and residence in Los Angeles in 1977 where he graduated from UCLA in 1981. Since then he has been prominently featured with major blues and roots music artists on recordings, live performances and in film and television. He has become a major presence on the West coast blues scene.

Hi Larry,
I've been working on a my CD project lately so I haven't had chance to pick up my amplifier tubes. I'll contact you as soon as I can to schedule a meeting time we can both handle.
Hey Larry,
We definitely gotta get you on Blindman's Blues Forum! I help promote the website. It's worth looking up. Just GOOGLE it. Over 500,000 posts! Please stop by. This is a great outlet for blues fans and musicians,
