He may have begun his
music career busking, but Stu Larsen has flourished into a brilliant
performer who now shares the stage with the likes of James Morrison and
the Whitlams. At 26, Stu Larsen has been performing as a solo musician,
on stages flared by such luminaries, for over two years. And, as an
acoustic singer/songwriter, he has just released his debut EP, Already
Late. Contrary to the title however, his CD launch could not have come
at a better time. While boosting his performances and slipping his name
into the spines of many listener's CD racks, the album has resonated in
many ears to the point where he has been currently chiselled in at #7 on
the TRAA Indie charts. Already Late marks a seasonal change for Stu.
Following a tumultuous eighteen-month dark period that began when some
family affairs brought him crashing down at the start of 2005, the album
is the first step on a new path for Stu. Taking little time to rest
however, Stu has already begun work on his next recording, writing songs
that are another step ahead of his last. Although Stu is still yet to
insert his name into the national market, his songs have by now
established a stable, growing local fan-base in Toowoomba. This fan-base
flocks to regular community events to see the artist play, including the
Australian Gospel Music Festival and the Royal Show where Stu performed
a song he was asked to produce to commemorate a Toowoomba icon. The key
contributor to why Stu continues to be asked to perform at these events,
as well as weddings and social functions, is his unbelievably unique
voice. Additionally, Stu has been accepted into the much-anticipated
Parachute Festival, an annual event held in New Zealand in January next
year, as well as being sought after by other artists who hope to augment
their own performances with his presence.
"Stu Larsen is the great white hope of the Australian Christian music
scene. Few performers I've seen can keep a room interested like him.
Great melodies and clever lyrics form songs that come from a place all
of us can relate to. Guaranteed to have you singing in the shower or
your money back" - Matt Smallbone, Alabaster Box.
