Larry Pancake is slowly becoming a household name. The singer/songwriter was raised in Flatwoods, a small eastern Kentucky town running along the famed "Country Music Highway" where Billy Ray Cyrus, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Scaggs, The Judds and many more hail. His style of music has been described as country/rock, saturated with musical influences from Kiss, Paul Rogers, Eddie Money, and Elvis to local artists like Billy Ray Cyrus, Steve French, and Mike Murphy. He has created his own style of singing and performing that includes an extremely wide vocal range and has been reviewed as original and very energetic. “ A family friendly show that leaves the audience with a positive experience.”

From childhood Larry was exposed to a variety of music. His mother was a member of The Potters Clay Singers, a gospel group who had short-lived success with a release in the early 80s. His father sang and his sister played piano. Singing in church and being raised on gospel music set the foundation for his character. When Larry was a sophomore in high school he entered the Beta Variety Show, a talent show where he received a standing ovation after winning the contest. This opened the door to music for him.

After high school, Larry decided to put a band together. With a few friends and an ad in the paper, he formed what became the band Aftershock. They played their first gigs at The Country Music Highway Cafe in Ashland, KY for exposure and a free meal. When the crowds were getting too big for the Café the local club owners soon took notice. After playing different clubs in the tri-state (KY, OH, WV), they soon became a fixture at The 1896 Club in Huntington, WV, in the early 90s. He later joined a well established local band in 2000, as lead singer. The band then became known as Larry Pancake and the Pride.

In the summer of 2004, recording began at the Legendary Hilltop Studios in Nashville. His first CD entitled “Lonely” was produced by Nashville’s John Nicholson. John has produced such artist as Loretta Lynn, Alan Jackson, Vince Gill and Dolly Parton, just to name a few. Larry has played a variety of venues, large and small, along with locally and nationally know recording artists as well as headlining. He has had the chance to share the stage with many different superstars of music. He has also appeared in a number of regional TV and radio commercials. Larry’s music is being played in several different countries on Indie stations as well as top 40 stations and a national commercial for VAM ,a company that endorses Larry.
