What Larry brings

Programs for every kind of afternoon

From a quiet hour in the lounge to a banquet that needs a little shine, Larry plays to the room in front of him.

  • Background music

    Unobtrusive playing while people eat, visit, and talk. The room stays the star; the piano keeps it company.

  • Full one-hour programs

    A complete show: familiar songs, a little talk, and time to sit with the music. Built for activity calendars.

  • Jokes and singalong

    Room for laughter and voices. Easy choruses, large-print favorites, and a few good lines between the tunes.

  • Dinner music

    Soft playing through the meal — the kind that turns a dining room into an evening out.

  • Retirement & long-term care

    Live piano in the rooms where people live. Songs they know, at a pace they can follow.

  • Banquets

    Anniversaries, staff dinners, and community celebrations. Piano that dresses the hall without stealing the night.

Where the music goes

Homes, halls, and banquet rooms

Larry plays across London, Ontario and Southwestern Ontario — retirement residences, long-term care homes, banquets, and community events. He brings a full hour when you want a program, or sits at the piano through dinner when the room just needs music in the air.

  • Retirement homes
  • Long-term care
  • Banquets & dinners
  • Community gatherings
  • Chapels & churches
  • Organization events

Crossover radio · 50s to 80s

The Light Club

Popular radio from the 1950s through the 80s — the hits that crossed over. Songs with a message that still made the charts, the kind people sang along to in the car.

  • Put Your Hand in the Hand
  • Spirit in the Sky
  • Oh Happy Day
  • Morning Has Broken
  • Jesus Is Just Alright
  • My Sweet Lord

A small example of the Light Club book — and much more.

For organizations

Outreach and fundraisers

The Living Lord’s Supper, The Homeless Jesus, and Rock-In Radio have already filled churches and halls as evangelical outreach. They work just as well as fundraisers for churches, auxiliaries, service clubs, and community groups.

Bring a play or a concert evening, sell the seats or pass the plate, and keep the night simple: live music, a story people can sit with, and a room that came for a good reason.
