Just like the first words in his song, Blues Gumbo, Larry Tillery was indeed "born in Beaumont". Beaumont, Texas that is.
His new CD "Rockin' The Blues" (released 2/1/2012) is a testament to the Texas Style blues that have influenced him from an early age. Influences such as Freddie King, ZZTop and Stevie Ray Vaughan to mention a few.
The influence does not end there, however. Larry is heavily influenced by the legendary Chicago blues artist, Buddy Guy who does also hail from the south right next door in Louisiana.
Today, Larry Tillery has a prominent place in the music scene. The show is always intense with Larry playing his heart out to the audience.
