Larry Sutphin - Music for Seniors

For the past 35 years Larry Sutphin has recorded in the studio, performed with many of the area's top bands in night clubs, festivals, fairs, civic events, coliseums, and many other Hampton Roads musical events.

In 2000 he decided to use his talent and years of experience in a different way by assembling a music program specifically designed for seniors. Using a computer for the background music, he plays pedal steel guitar, harmonica, and sings. His music is a mixture of Gospel, Country, Bluegrass, Pop, and 50's  Rock N' Roll.
