Fractured Holiday FavoritesWear festive clothing for a holiday carol singalong like none other. Enjoy the politically correct “Deck the Halls”, “The Restroom Door Said Gentlemen”, “All I Want For Chrithmath”, and “Leon” (backwards “Noel”). You’ll love playful versions of “Rudolph”, and the “12 Days of Christmas!” and a few more December “hits.” Maybe you’ll find yourself in the show!
Larry’s Bio:Known for his family singalong music and the “Wide Mouth Frog'', Larry Swenson has been singing and playing piano all around the world. Larry was a pianist for two casts of the musical show, “Up With People.” He has performed for and taught thousands of people across the United States, Canada, Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, Argentina, Venezuela, Morocco, India, Bangladesh, China, Japan, Russia, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland, Germany and Belgium.
Once a 4-H Educator in northwest Minnesota, Larry worked with teens to create educational musical shows for young people. One of these shows, the "Pollution Solution", was performed at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., and in 5 states, for which he received the 'Clean Rivers" award from the Governor of Minnesota. For 50 years, Larry has performed in and directed musical shows including the educational experience “The Minnesotan and the Mexican” and the celebration for the anniversary of the Historic Holmes Theatre. His longest “gig” was producing and directing the longest running musical show in the entire Midwest at a well-known northernMinnesota resort! He has recorded three CD’s of international children’s songs. These days you can find him still singing and playing in schools, camps, community centers, churches and libraries.
