Virtual Tip Jar: paypal.me/brianlarneymusic
Haunted by hooks and good old fashioned song-craft, Brian Larney is an eclectic, non-stop music-making machine. The Connecticut native and New England Music Awards nominee splits his time performing as a solo acoustic act and the front-man of his band Brian Larney and The Town Hall. He's an alternative folk-rock singer-songwriter with an honest and thoughtful style that has been described as “quirky, earnest, and vulnerable.” Larney’s music is as influenced by pop songs of the mid-1960s as it is by the contemporary artists he’s often compared to, such as Jason Isbell and The Decemberists.
Larney grew up in the Northeast, obsessed with well-crafted songs and the art of vocal harmony. “We didn’t have a piano at home, so I would get to school at 6:00 AM and sneak into the choir room just to pick out songs and work on harmonies.” As a songwriter, Larney’s early efforts were “overly-complicated 7-minute opuses.” Through is varied tastes as a listener (which span pop to bluegrass) and tours as a gigging musician with power pop, post-punk, and Americana groups, Brian gradually essentialized his songwriting style.
Cutting edge AI company and music promotion team, Zenabi, describes the Larney sound best: "His songs are organic spoonfuls of classic pop and folk, naturally sweet, non-GMO, without the sugar crash; his style hearkens back to the days of Simon and Garfunkel, the Beatles, and maybe a bit of The Partridge Family."

149 Westchester Avenue, Port Chester, NY 10573
In partnership with the family of Jerry Garcia, The Capitol Theatre christened its "lobby bar" as Garcia’s in honor of the late Grateful Dead guitarist and singer, who counted the Port Chester, N.Y., rock palace among his favorite venues in the country.
In recent years, Garcia's has become a whole lot more—a venue of its own! In addition to showcasing local and regional artists, Garcia's hosts nationally touring acts to satisfy the most diverse musical palettes. From Wednesday DeadCenters to R&B, funk, bluegrass, pych-rock, jazz, and rock 'n' roll, live music lives here at Westchester's only rock club.
Garcia's continues the Grateful Dead live experience at DeadCenter, a weekly Grateful Dead night with a nod to the legendary Wetlands Preserve.
