Artist History Larry Good is a composer, performer, and newspaper columnist. He won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s songwriting contest in 1993, and performed on the Festival stage in 1993 and 1994. He graduated from Stanford University in 1982 with a BA in musical composition. His song “Political Party,” as recorded by James Lee Stanley, made the top100 for the entire election year of 1992 in Cashbox Magazine. Another song, “Electricity” was used in the cult horror film, “The Video Dead.” He plays guitar, piano, theremin, steel guitar, ukulele and electronic keyboards. After serving as the Musical Director and the complete on-stage band for the Aspen Ridiculous Theater Company for 3 years, Larry Good began to spread out beyond live performance and into “pre-production for improvisational theater.” That “live production” spirit soon swelled Good’s musical catalogue as he began taking assignments for media projects and film music, adding electronica and classical scoring to his trademark rural acoustic landscapes. He continued turning out gritty tales of Americana that landed him publishing deals with Refugio/Criterion, Beechwood, Bonnie Bee Good, and Rex Benson Music. Larry’s most recent band, Treehouse, was featured on MTV and on the nationally syndicated radio show King Biscuit Flower Hour. They performed on the Jazz Aspen Festival main stage in 1998, and at the H.O.R.D.E. Festival and High Sierra Festival side stages in 1997. After 3 CDs, the band ceased in the fall of 1999. As a band member, or solo performer, Larry has opened for Jimmy Cliff, Sheryl Crow, Little Feat, John Hiatt, Robben Ford, King Sunny Ade, John Prine, Steel Pulse, Sonia Dada, David Wilcox, Boxing Ghandis, Derek Trucks, Sister 7, the Subdudes, Sam Bush, John Cowan, War, the Outlaws, and...he has a complete list somewhere. In the past year, Larry has scored two short independent films, infomercials, and begun composing for two feature length films. Previous composing assignments include a half hour television pilot “Oh My, Mr. Bob,” several national ad spots (Big O Tires, Choice Mall.Com,) and a few student films. He orchestrated two musicals in San Francisco, “The City, 1977,” and “The Chocolate Cream Soldier.” In February, 2001, a short which he worked on, “Tex, the Passive Aggressive Gunslinger was aired repeatedly on the Independent Film Channel. Larry Good knows all about baseball, the Civil War, lizards, and music trivia. Conversant in Mac, IBM, Korg, Roland, Alesis, English and German, Larry lives in western Colorado with his wife, a baby son, two dogs and two cats. That’s about one dog, and two cats too many.
