Music and Mountains

Larry Lacerte has grown into his own flavor of Rocky Mountain Americana in his lyrical music, which features straightforward songwriting and organic instruments.  His latest releases include a series of singles recorded at The Spot Studios in Evergreen, Colorado. “Find a Way Home,” is a cozy feel good song about finding a home base cabin to put down roots in between adventures. “Patchwork Flag,” is a song about diversity and unity through the lens of an immigrant story. “Dust,” traces an unravelling love story pieced together from some markings on the ground. “Left Behind,” is about the time warp and grief of seeing someone you love pass on and how strange it is to see everything in their life eerily just as they left it. Beginning with his time in the band Broke Down Rodeo, Larry shows a relentless persistence to his craft as a songwriter, dabbling in the blues, rock, folk and country influences of roots music.

Before he started putting words to music, Larry reveled in simply sitting down to play guitar.  His instrumental guitar compositions are released under the artist name, LaCerte.  Currently, he is embarking on a project to compose an instrumental in honor of each of Colorado’s ‘Fourteeners’ (peaks over 14,000 feet).  This project is a part of a journey in music, in composing, in recording and ultimately in connecting to nature.  

Pray to the Mountain focuses on ambient and instrumental tracks.  This is Larry’s venture into learning to produce and compose more ambient soundscapes and instrumentals well suited for yoga and easy listening from his home studio in Frisco, Colorado.
