Larry Reidt (pronounced "REEEET") is an artist, poet, writer, and activist but mostly he's a songwriter. Larry has been writing songs for absolutely ever. He writes about the stuff you've got happening. Love, Life, Joy, Loss and the path we're all on.
He's been noted for his passionate, furious vocals and innovative acoustic 12 string guitar style. Larry digs deep on every song and that's why we listen. He writes the songs that get under skin and stay put. He hails from Grand Rapids, Michigan just like Gerald Ford but you shouldn't let that trouble you. He’s played a zillion places & made a lot of friends. He makes his home in Hudson, Florida now in the Tampa Bay area. Oddly enough, he really misses snow.
Larry had been writing & performing the last few years with the groovy improv zen band Hazard Factor with guitar wiz & pal Dave Eichenberger, Soprano Misha Penton and a revolving cast of characters that included Ivan Ftorek on drums and Larry's Son, Isaac Reidt on Bass. After years of great perfromances and 2 CDs (Digging for Stars, 2001 & Primordiance, 2003) Hazard Factor went away, but LR keeps writing.
Currently, he's just released his 3rd CD on his own Mr Bud Music lable. See the NEWS section for more! Some of these tunes are rotating in and out of LR's myspace, so be sure to sneak over there for an advanced peek!
