Lardner is a seasoned veteran of the American folk and acoustic scene. He has performed throughout the U.S. as a solo act and has led country bands through Europe for the past 7 years. His voice and writing are reminiscent of James Taylor in the most intimate moments, but is often compared to Sting when he allows his voice to soar. A rock solid guitarist, his band, Barcelona, provides all the energy and pulse to drive the message home.
