Larry Garner is a modern bluesman deeply rooted in the traditions of Louisiana. Born in New Orleans on July 8, 1952, and raised in Baton Rouge, Garner soaked up the sounds of the blues at an early age, finding inspiration in the works of greats like Buddy Guy and Slim Harpo. He honed his skills as a guitarist and a songwriter, blending contemporary and traditional blues into his own unique sound, characterized by his soulful voice and thoughtful lyrics that often reflect on social issues.

Garner's career in music took a professional turn after he won the 1988 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Since then, he has released a series of albums and built a reputation as a deft storyteller and a passionate performer. Garner's most recent works, including "Louisiana Swamp Blues Vol. 3" and "Blues for Sale," continue to earn him accolades within the genre, showcasing his talent for infusing the blues with a modern sensibility without losing touch with its roots. His performances, like the one captured on "Live at the Tivoli," demonstrate his connection with audiences around the world and solidify his standing as a mainstay in contemporary blues music.
