Larry Halverson started playing the saxophone and moved on to the Irish tin whistle and flute after attending a Kennedy’s Kitchen concert. Their performance ignited Larry’s soul to learn Irish whistle techniques while forming his own style; Larry studied with Ireland’s leading performers and instructors.
