Hello and Update
Hello from me to you.
Introducing my new website:
www.larrytassemusic.com
I began my Musical Journey Performing, Songwriting and Composing Music in New York City's famous Tin Pan Alley working as a Staff Songwriter for Kama Sutra Records and honing my skills hustling music inside the famous Brill Building.
While there I was discovered by a Rock and Roll manager, who put me to work as a Songwriter/Composer/Pianist/Mime in an Art Rock band called “The Hello People”. Please Google and You Tube.
The band created five commercially released record albums, two of which were produced by Todd Rundgren.
The band appeared on the “Tonight Show”, “The Today Show”, “The Dick Cavett Show”, “The Smothers Brothers Show” and the “Midnight Special Show” and performed at Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and the Fillmore's East and West and countless Concert Clubs and Theatres while constantly touring the U.S.
I also toured with Todd Rundgren as a Pianist/Keyboardist and Vocalist on his “Back to The Bars” tour.
My music has been heard on two soundtracks which almost summed up my career, “Almost Famous” and “6 Feet Under”.
However Rockers never say die. I survived as a Soloist and Accompanist, by playing in N.Y.C. Society and Bar Bands, Studio Recording, and Performing in Senior Community venues, where a growing number of the residents grew up on Rock and Roll.
My home is now the wonderful San Francisco Bay Area with my beautiful soulmate, best friend and incredibly talented wife GiGi where I regularly work as a Sound Designer and Music Composer in the Live Theatre Venue and Independent Film Industry both in the Creative and Technical sides of the stage.
I also Teach Piano, Voice, Songwriting and Music Composition to my very gifted students.
My true passion has always been Performing, Songwriting, Composing and Teaching, along with striking the Keys.
I studied Piano, Songwriting, Composing Music & Jazz Theory privately.
Thank you,
Larry Tasse
