After the successful date in Milan last March, Stu Larsen returns to Italy for a single date Saturday 29 August 2015 in Castiglione d'Otranto (LE) as part of the Green Nightfree entrance event that aims to raise awareness of environmental protection, sustainable lifestyles and the green economyand which reserves ample space for cultural and artistic activities of various kinds.
He grew up in the small town of Dalby, a three-hour drive from Brisbane, Stu Larsen began playing the guitar at the age of 14 at the behest of his mother, who considered music an excellent means to help the boy overcome shyness. The strategy is successful and on the last day of high school Larsen performed for the first time in front of an audience of over a thousand people. A few years later, Larsen moves to Toowoomba, where he starts performing solo and wins a contest. This further confirmation gives him the courage to embark on the life of the perpetually travelling musician.
After several self-produced works, including an EP with Japanese harmonica player Natsuki Kurai (2013), 'Vagabond' (Nettwerk Records/Warner, 2014), released last summer, constitutes the debut of Larsen on a record label. For the occasion, the singer-songwriter availed himself of an exceptional collaboration: the album is in fact produced by his friend and colleague Passenger, born Mike Rosenberg, rising star of indie with folk veins whose Larsen has often opened concerts in the last three years.
