Larry Sandberg
Larry Sandberg grew up musically during the folk music boom of the
early sixties, performing on the east coast coffeehouse folk music
circuit and in college, club, festival, and concert venues. Although
his degree is in the humanities, he has also pursued musical studies;
both informally (by association with old masters of traditional music)
and formally (jazz studies at the Berklee College of Music, with Bill
Bell at Alameda College, and with Dale Bruning in Denver; classical
guitar with Jack Buckingham at Alameda College). He has been a
music teacher, full- or part-time, privately or with institutional
affiliations, since 1965, teaching both beginners and advanced students
of all ages. While he is experienced in numerous areas of music, he is
especially a master of American traditional styles including blues,
bluegrass, melodic fingerpicking, and old time country music. More
recently he has been working on adapting jazz and pop standards to
his style.
He now performs occasionally (including composing music for an
installation at the Denver Art Museum), teaches guitar at the Swallow
Hill School of Music, and has recorded some of his favorite
arrangements and compositions. In 1999 he began teaching part-time
in the music department of the University of Colorado at Denver. His
upper-level courses include Social and Political Implications of
American Music and Music of the Popular Culture, two social history
courses which he was hired to teach on the basic of his graduate
education in comparative literature, with a focus on intellectual history.
He also has taught courses in American Roots Music and freshman
Music Appreciation.
He is proprietor of Larry Sandberg Creative Services, supplying
marketing communications to clients ranging from small
businesses and arts organizations to Fortune 500 companies and
government agencies.
During the course of his career Sandberg has performed with a
diverse range of artists including Artie and Happy Traum,
Judy Rich Moore Molly O'Brien, Tim O'Brien, Nick Forster, Peter
Wernick, and many, many more.
