Larry Halverson

Larry Halverson, a native of Roosevelt Park, Michigan, began his musical journey with the saxophone. However, a transformative experience at a Kennedy's Kitchen concert in 2009 led him to the tin whistle.  The performance sparked a deep passion in Larry, inspiring him to master the intricate techniques of the Irish whistle. This dedication is evident in his unique style, which he has honed in his two bands, Uneven Ground and The Langford Lads.

Larry's dedication to mastering the tin whistle and flute has led him to receive lessons from some of Ireland's leading performers and instructors. His commitment to the craft has enriched his musical style and contributed to preserving and promoting traditional Irish music. Larry's expertise is now shared through his whistle training programs, offered at prestigious institutions such as Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp and the Michigan Irish Music Festival, as well as through private lessons and school workshops.

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