Larry Halverson

Larry Halverson hails from Roosevelt Park, Michigan. Although Larry started playing the saxophone at an early age, he took up the whistle years later after attending a Kennedy’s Kitchen concert in 2009. The Kitchen’s performance ignited in Larry’s soul to learn Irish whistle techniques while forming his own style.

To incorporate UG’s traditional Irish sound, Larry receives whistle lessons from renowned Belfast whistle player Conor Lamb along with Ireland’s leading performers and instructors at the Online Academy of Irish Music.

Larry plays whistles produced by Michael Burke and Gene Milligan. He also plays is a custom-designed 18th Century flute made by Copley & Boegli.
