2012
Annual Sandy Ridge School Bluegrass Show
Presents:
Two Time Grammy Nominee
Larry Cordle
and
Lonesome Standard Time
Larry Cordle was born and raised on a small
family farm in eastern Kentucky. While a young child he was
introduced to bluegrass, country, and gospel music, by his
great grandfather Harry Bryant, an old time claw hammer banjo
stylist, fiddles player and dancer. He recounts, "mom
said I could sing 'I'll Fly Away', all the way through when
I was 2"! Cordle fondly remembers this early influence
by pointing out, "we lived so far away from everything,
that we had to make our own entertainment. Papaw would get
the fiddle out in the evenings sometimes and play and dance
for us. Just as soon as I was old enough to try to learn to
play, I did so and kinda seconded after him on the guitar.
He ran an old country store and I spent many happy hours in
there with him playing, talking about and listening to music.
It was our escape into another world, something we grew up
with and looked so forward to."
At last count, Cordle's songs had appeared
on projects that have to date sold a combined total of more
that 55 million records, by artists such as Skaggs, Alison
Krauss, Rhonda Vincent, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Trisha
Yearwood, Reba McEntire, Diamond Rio, Alan Jackson, Trace
Adkins and many others.
Though songwriting took Larry to Nashville,
his desire to perform never waned. With his band, Lonesome
Standard Time, Cordle has the perfect platform to share his
music with fans everywhere. The band has been awarded song
of the year by the International Bluegrass Music Association
on two separate occasions, garnered two Grammy nominations
for best bluegrass album, received nominations for vocal group
and instrumental group, landed #1 slts on the Bluegrass and
Americana charts and gained the respect of their peers, and
had
many accolades during their existence. His
current release "Pud Marcum's Hanging" is #2 on
the Bluegrass Charts.
Lonesome Standard Time is comprised of seasoned,
esteemed musicians in their own right, providing Larry with
an outlet to feature his original material, trademark singing
and his engaging personality, immediately connecting fans
to his music.
