Larry Stephenson learned the guitar and mandolin from his father and formed his first bluegrass band by the time he was in high school. After playing with
Cliff Waldron for a short time, Bill Harrell and His Virginians (1979-1983), and
the Bluegrass Cardinals (1983-1989),
Stephenson began a solo career and released
Born to Sing on the Pinecastle label.
On Fire followed in 1998. ~ John Bush
