Des Larson is an entertainer, who involves his audience and peers with his music. Ultimately, to relate and set the groove and mood to share together. However he may be a roots/ rock/ reggae performer but as you will soon tell, “every artist has to relate to a genre, but every listener has to relate to a genre that fits their mood.” Style and creativity are his main keys when writing musical progressions. Enjoy!
