Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Larry and Leslie Latour in their fourth return engagement at the Sedona Posse Grounds Hub for their always fun and poignant Music in the House Valentine’s Day show, Thursday, Feb. 14, from 7 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door and doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Longtime singer/songwriters and Hub favorites, the Latours will bring an emotional and heartfelt collection of tunes about love and life’s entanglements in the intimate setting that is the Sedona Hub. They will spin their original story songs into a reflection of their lives together, singing their two-part harmonies and taking the audience on a heartfelt journey. This year they will have Music in the House regular and special guest Kenn Trout opening the show with Kris Baldwin on bass — an added treat.
The Latours have been singing together for more than 15 years and married about as long. They have four CDs of music, three of them original — “Little by Little,” “That’s Life” and “Real Music” — and one a CD of Woody Guthrie-style folk tunes, including “This Land is Your Land.” All of these are digitally available on CDBaby.com and iTunes. Typical tracks include “Stranded,” an autobiographic “what if” love song; “Bangor Fair,” about falling in love under a dance tent in Maine; and “The Winds of Autumn,” about dreams of life and love come true. They’re currently working on a new set of tunes to be out sometime in 2019.
Kate Hawkes of Red Earth Theatre said, “Larry and Leslie live what they sing. Joy, partnership and laughter ring through their music and performance.” Jennifer Cohen, host of “Verde Valley Experience,” said, “I love how they harmonize with each other, how they are with each other. There’s a sweetness that descends over them when they perform. It’s visual, it’s audible, it’s a wonderful thing.”
The Latours have together played an integral part in creating the Sedona Hub Music in the House performance series, now in it’s fourth year, and they were instrumental in creating the Camp Verde Community Library’s Music In The Stacks series, now in it’s third year. A few of their well-received shows include the current Prescott Library Series, Studio B in Old Town, The Old Town Center for the Arts’ annual Bob Dylan Birthday concert, Camp Verde Community Library and Shondra Jepperson’s Living Room Series at Center for Positive Living in the Village of Oak Creek. They also performed throughout Maine during the summer months, including the WERU Fair, the Penobscot Theater, the four-masted Margaret Todd schooner out of Bar Harbor and aboard the Sunbeam Ministries boat touring and servicing the Islands off of the Maine coast. They are currently at work on an autobiographical-themed show of their songs and stories to take on tour in the southwest and Maine.
Don’t miss this return Valentine’s Day gift with the Latours in a very special concert in the intimate space at the Sedona Hub on Thursday,
Feb. 14, at 7 p.m. The Hub is located at 525B Posse Grounds Road.
