"People that come to see our show can expect a mix of music, storytelling and dance, and that’s a powerful cocktail for healing and for joy." - Joe Troop
You may hear/see descriptions of Larry & Joe's music along the lines of
"Venezuela Meets Old-Time Americana," "Latin x Bluegrass fusion," or "Latingrass,"
but we like to call it: "Música para todos!" ("music for everyone.")

PRESS QUOTES:
“….one of the most charismatic and culture-crossing acts to come out of roots music in the past decade.” “magnificent. The live show… is mesmerizing.” – WMOT / The String
"When I saw Larry & Joe […] it seemed like they’d known each other theirwhole lives. That easy familiarity has also served the music well. Nuevo South Train is a magnificent blending of the duos multi-cultural experiences and I guarantee you’ve never heard anything like it. And if they play anywhere near you, get there." – Twangville
"The hour with Larry & Joe was sort of like being in the eye of a hurricane. Beauty and order in the heart of chaos. There was considerable buzz about these guys, but I don’t think anyone anticipated their true impact, and the huge gathering […] had an explosive response." – The Austin Chronicle
"…the unexpectedness of this musical match is part of the delight…[Nuevo South Train], in all its collaborative glory, is a reminder that roots music is about maintaining and sharing traditions, regardless of where the diasporas take them." – No Depression
