Larry Murante and Brad Warren |
Larry Murante
Singer-Songwriter,
Acoustic Guitar
“Larry is one of the most highly-regarded singer-songwriters in the Northwest, with a growing following across the country. He brings an intense craftsmanship to his songs, giving us powerful experiences through the simple narratives about, and statements from, people he has met, known-or just known of.”

Brad Warren
Singer-Songwriter,
Acoustic Guitar
|
Brad Warren's songs are about life as we really live it. With a guitar and a knack for drawing people out, Brad finds stories that deserve singing everywhere. If you imagine a crossroads where Bruce Cockburn, David Wilcox, Marc Cohn and Lyle Lovett might meet to swap songs, that's where you'll find Brad's work, too. |
