About Me


NEW CD
New Song and video - THAT'S WHERE YOU'LL GO
Lars was born, bred and fed in Canada on the north shore of Lake Superior.
A lifelong music enthusiast, his influences have ranged and changed over the years. As a child he was surrounded by the songs of both his parents' country and western LPs and his brothers' collection of records extending from The Beatles to John Prine and Frank Zappa. As a young teenager and guitarist/bassist he jumped from punk and obscure new wave to classic and prog rock to Mississippi and Chicago blues.
In his late teens Lars was a founding member and bassist/keyboardist of an electric trio called Euphoria. Shortly thereafter he collaborated with long time friends to form The Bloodhounds. The Bloodhounds were a four piece rock band who wrote, recorded and performed in the Toronto and Southern Ontario region in the 90's.
Recently he has released a cd of acoustic songs recorded "live off the floor" entitled 'Take 1' and he is in the process of writing songs for another recording to be released soon.
Lars is currently living in Australia where he performs live and slaves in the heat as a house carpenter.
