Larry Raspberry (of "Keep On Dancing" fame) To Open For Delbert McClinton May 11th

Before Delbert McClinton hits the Princess Theatre stage on May 11, you'll be treated to the high energy of Larry Raspberry.  Cub Koda once described Larry this way, "On-stage, Larry Raspberry was a true dynamo, going back and forth between funky lead guitar and Jerry Lee Lewis-style piano pounding, all the while working the crowd like an evangelist full of spiritualistic fervor."

Larry Raspberry is a celebrated and consistent part of the American Music  scene representing a significant part of the Memphis Music heritage.  Larry is more active than ever as a performer, recording artist, public speaker, songwriter and producer of unique commissioned shows featuring some of the most famous rock and roll performers of the 60s, 70s, and 80s in his Rock For Real Revue.

Larry started by founding, leading and singing lead in the top ten hit record band The Gentrys (Keep On Dancing - #4 Billboard rock charts — MOM Records). The Gentrys were honored by the Memphis Music Foundation with a commemorative Note on Beale Street in 2012.

Following The Gentrys, Larry formed his band Larry Raspberry and The Highsteppers and recorded for Max Records, Mercury Records and Larry's labels Backroom Records and Intense Records.  He has 6 CDs in release at the present time with plans underway for 2 more CDs in the next 12 months.  Larry Raspberry and The Highsteppers were honored by the Memphis Music Foundation with a commemorative Note on Beale Street in 2015.
