ABOUT NAKED BLUE: www.nakedblue.com

They have released 7 full-length albums and built a devoted following for their songwriting, recordings, and performances,
Their latest release is an extraordinary collaboration with bestselling author Lee Child based on his iconic Jack Reacher character, entitled Just the Clothes on My Back. They've been touring with the new album in 2019 with headline shows including City Winery in NYC and Nashville, Firehouse Saloon in Houston, The Hamilton Live in DC, World Cafe Live in Philly, Red Clay Theatre in Duluth, and more.
Scott and Jen's obvious joyous connection on stage and easy rapport with their audience are the hallmarks of their performance style; defined by their interwoven guitar work, Jen's instantly recognizable smoky, vulnerable voice, and Scott's passionate, impeccable lead guitar.
Over the years they've developed a reputation for great songwriting as well; credits include cuts on Evangeline's 'French Quarter Moon' Margaritaville / MCA, Troy Turner's single on Telarc Records, and many many tracks in TV and film, including Brooklyn South, The Smokers and The Girl Next Door.
Naked Blue has worked with a host of fine artists, sharing stages with John Mayer, Joe Cocker, Dan Fogelberg, and Aimee Mann, to name a few.

ABOUT LARRY: www.larryahearn.com
“In addition to a wealth of original material, Ahearn delves in to a musical stockpile of A-list songwriters … He is basically a romanticist, and a lot of his music is about love: lost, gained or otherwise.. He spends most of his time on stage cutting a deep swath in to music lovers everywhere.” - Today's Post
There’s a gritty, road-seasoned grace to the words and music of Larry Ahearn. His music is steeped in the classic singer-songwriter tradition, with folk and blues-based melodies framing poetically evocative lyrics that tell stories and paint pictures. Ahearn’s wealth of experience as a writer, performer, concert organizer, and mentor to other performers informs every note of his music. His songs are doorways into his own life and the people he’s met, loved, and imagined.
A Boston native, Larry's musical journey really began when he relocated to the Philadelphia area as a student at Villanova University in 1966. Almost immediately,y he began working at the legendary Main Point folk club in Bryn Mawr, PA, booking and promoting shows for over a decade. Along the way, he honed his skills as a singer and guitarist on its stage, sharing the bill with everyone from Tom Rush and John Prine to Livingston Taylor and the Velvet Underground. He captivated audiences both as a solo act and with the Larry Ahearn Group (featuring Tom Crosthwaite, Bill Cannon, Bill Shultz, Chris Shannahan, and Dan Rossi). It was a heady experience as well as an invaluable education for a young artist.
Over the years, Larry’s quest for excellence has produced a body of original tunes that veers from introspective ballads to wry story-songs and rollicking highway anthems. Outlaws, lovers, and dreamers are vividly sketched in his lyrics with a feel for character and sly humor. Whether he’s unreeling a tale of illicit romance (“The Princess and the Thief”), saluting a heroic rascal on the run (“The Last Cowboy Song”) or painting an impressionistic portrait of his artist father (“Little Boy Blue”), Larry’s touch with words and music is earthy, elegant and authentic.
For Larry, his commitment to his art goes beyond a pride in writing a good song. “My goal is to reach as many people as possible with songs that inspire them to be better,” he says. “I want to help steer people towards making a better world. That’s what my heroes have done and that’s what I want to do.” - Barry Alfonso
