Larry Pattis writes and performs music for the acoustic guitar that is melodic, intriguing, and yet always accessible; he excels in bringing forth the highest level of emotive qualities of the instrument…and the stories he tells via his music are both personal and universal. An evening in concert with Larry is an introspective and reflective experience, as the chapters of each piece of music unfold to allow each audience member to take flight on their own personal journey.The accolades for Pattis as both a composer & musician for acoustic guitar have been ever-present since his 1997 debut CD “Random Chance”.
And when it comes to some of the most respected concert producers and music-reviewers in North America, we see commentary that places Pattis at the pinnacle of his craft:
"Larry Pattis blends the emotional commitment of folk and the prowess of classical, a harmonious union of beauty, melody, nuance and technique that demand- and reward- serious listening." ~ Montreal International Jazz Festival
"Simply brilliant. Simply beautiful." ~ Godfrey Daniels Folk Club
"Although Pattis establishes his technical prowess…it's apparent that he considers composition and mood to be on equal ground with flashy playing, a perfect and exquisite hybrid of neoclassicism and fingerstyle...awash with beauty, mystery and pathos." ~ Alan Fark, Minor 7th
"Think of the names that have dazzled audiences and influenced other guitarists over the last 40 years or so: John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, Alex de Grassi, Pat Metheny, to name just a few. This is not to slight the masterful contributions and influences of Pierre Bensusan or Ottmar Liebert, just that I'm referring to American guitarists. Larry Pattis could be on his way to being on-par with those players, and any guitar lover will find some exquisitely executed melodies on Pattis' new CD ("Hands of Time"), which is steeped in themes of Americana. You can feel the rhythms of life pulsing through his melodies" ~ New Age Voice Magazine
