Larry Vann has made an impressive mark on the Bay Area music scene over the years, and one listen to his latest CD, The Rhythm & Roots of Larry Vann, clearly demonstrates why he has been in such huge demand for sessions and tours with the likes of Elvin Bishop and Merl Saunders. A professional performer since age 15, Vann draws from a deep well of musical influence, including gospel, blues, funk, jazz and soul.
Vann's resume reads like a Who's Who list, having toured and recorded with those musicians listed above, as well as The Whispers, Martha Reeves, The Marvalettes, Charles Brown, Buffy Saint-Marie, Randy Crawford, and many more. His work with the popular San Francisco Bay Area Blues Group, Ron Thompson and the Resistors contributed to the band earning two Bay Area Music Awards. His impressive career also includes a motion picture role as a nightclub band member in the Academy Award-nominated Peggy Sue Got Married.
