Les Cousins .. We are not much but we do. From a land suffocated by pop radio and reality T.V., we are Les Cousins. The ones who sat next to you in front of the T.V. When our parents were too busy ignoring us and wondering how they could acquire more. We are the Cousins, softly outspoken, walking the middle way, smoking our creativity, drinking our passion, playing our heartbeats and algorithms. What have we become? Les Cousins. We play music for one lonely person who by default has come to understand they are isolated and alone, yet if they hear our songs, realize they were never alone in their suffering. Compassion is the key that will unlock our minds to our interdependence. The ever evolving Cousins. We are now four. We play chill, laid back; some times political, mostly aesthetical, psychedelic, love induced melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. We are from the origins of music, all that is intrinsically human, since the Stone Age,

The Red Mountain Band in Butte, Montana is a high energy bluegrass, blues, and old-timey traditional band that also writes and records music based loosely on these same time-honored genres. Influenced by traditional Appalachian folk music, the RMB brings the hills of Southern Ohio to the Mountains of Montana with a modern twist on one of the oldest styles of music still played today. Our original songs are also heavily influenced by music and folklore gleaned from time spent in Europe, Central America, and South Africa. The result is an eclectic mix of legend, instrumentation, and rhythm that adds a new twist to an old style of music. The band is composed of six splendid musicians including Keira Arps on rhythm guitar, lead and harmony vocals. Justine Conlan adds flute and vocal harmony. Michael Masters sings lead and plays piano, mandolin, and guitar. Sunil Kulkarni adds rhythm on congas and djembe. While Josh Prince & Sarah Zora round out the highs and lows on bass and Fiddle.

Like many Cowboy Entertainers, Larry has experience in ranching and farming. He works part-time on a ranch in the Townsend area and has fixed his share of fences, fled from angry cows, pulled calves and has ridden many miles on horseback.

For good, authentic western entertainment, Larry is the one to call.

Larry has been “performing” for most of his life. His father, Tom Gibson, often had Larry on-stage when he was very young.

Larry cites his musical influences as heavily Marty Robbins and Jerry Jeff Walker. “I love those Ramblin’, Gamblin’ songs” says Larry and his “Just Another Town” and “Cash on the Light” reflect this while “X” is one of his forays into the Gunfighter Ballad style of the great Marty Robbins.
