All Words and Music by Lerto

Originally from the Bronx in NYC, moved to Stratford, Shelton & Danbury CT.
Ontario Canada and St Petersburg FL.
Now living in Florida near the University in Gainesville.

Lerto has played in a few bands over the years with music ranging from Classic Rock to Blues and more with many original numbers.

His original song "Road To Hell" was entered in WRITTEN form in a contest on POETRY.COM and won. It is currently featured in book of poetry.com winners called "Letters From The Soul" and is available at many fine book stores.

Currently he has a solo act and still plays today in local clubs, as well as many sober clubs and an occasional coffee house.
He started and hosted an Open Jam night in 2 sober clubs to give musicians who didn't want to be around alcohol or drugs a safe place to go and play and have some fun. The "Looking For Some Good Clean Fun" group. (Yes, named after the Allman Brothers song)

Lerto has played many small venues (and a few larger ones) over the years from eastern Canada to central Florida with many stops in between. Mostly in NY & CT.
A seasoned Bluesman Bassplayer by trade, he also sings and plays other instruments with more heart probably than skill, but hopefully it's the "heart" that comes across and shines through it all in the end.
His one true love is writing songs.
"Words and Music together - Nothing is better"

A new album is in the works and will be coming out in the Fall of 08.

"KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK EVERYONE! YOUR FRIEND, LARRY C*"
