After a move to Asheville, a master’s degree at East Carolina University, a trip to Korea, then back to Asheville, Landry had joined up with the Lefty Williams Band after seeing them play one night and sitting in with them two nights later. A year and a half later, Landry recorded his first album New Day produced by the legendary John Keane in Athens, GA. The cd broke into the top 20 reaching #18 on HomeGrown Music Network’s radio charts and held the #1 spot for an unprecedented two weeks on WildmanSteve Radio.

Landry’s music is heavily influenced by piano greats such as Bruce Hornsby, Billy Joel, and Elton John combining “pop sensibilities” with “wonderfully funky” melodies to provide the listener with a truly enjoyable experience. The bluesy, soulful style of bands like the Black Crowes is easily heard as well as the grooving riffs of bands like Widespread Panic and Phish while maintaining an original sound throughout Landry’s music. With his years of classical training as well as having studied jazz under Tom Coppolla, who played the likes of Marvin Gaye and Paul Simon as well as writing music for Saturday Night Live, Landry brings a knowledge of jazz, blues, classical, and funk that combines to bridge the gaps often left behind by other artists.

Landry is currently playing with several friends and doing solo shows as well.

While music is a huge passion, Landry is also a Chairman of Arms of Refuge. For more information please visit www.armsofrefuge.org.
