In this episode 285, we visit with Larry Farber, author of “Noted Memories – How A Kid From Charlotte Had A Moment With Tony, Aretha, Bonnie, Sheryl And More.”That’s Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Bonnie Raitt and Sheryl Crow.
Larry grew up playing in bands, performing at weddings and parties. He then booked bands for a living, opened a private music club called Music With Friends and then Middle C Jazz Club in uptown Charlotte. And he ended up with musical stories to tell that he shares in this book.
Songwriter and singer Darius Rucker had this to say about the book: “Larry’s memoir is filled with memories of a lifetime. Many are funny. But in his story, I hope readers appreciate the more serious side of his calling. Larry is an ambassador for harmony.”

Praise for the book:
Darius Rucker: “Larry Farber and I go way back. He used to book our band, Hootie & the Blowfish, when we were playing clubs, then concerts, then when I got into country music as a solo artist. I remember the thrill of singing with the great Bonnie Raitt at one of his Music With Friends concerts. I’ve always admired Larry’s passion, whether it’s lining up a band for a wedding or Aretha for a one-of-a-kind show. He appreciates the power of music to touch our souls and bring us together. Larry’s memoir is filled with memories of a lifetime. Many are funny. But in his story, I hope readers appreciate the more serious side of his calling. Larry is an ambassador for harmony.”
