Larry and His Flask are a high energy, five piece band that have incorporated many facets of Folk, Punk, Gypsy Jazz, Bluegrass, Soul and Brass band Music to create their very own unique brand of rock and roll.

They have also released a six song EP called “Hobo’s Lament” in 2012. Their New Album “By the Lamplight” is slated to hit the streets in June of 2013.
