Larrivée Supported Artists
Matt Thomas
Plays LV-10, CS-09 Ziricote, CS-09 12 Fret Ziricote
"Larrivée guitars respond like no other."
Willie Watson
"I bought my first Larrivée 20 years ago, it was the sound I wanted for a lifetime"
For nearly two decades, Willie Watson has made modern folk music rooted in older traditions. He’s a folksinger in the classic sense: a singer, storyteller, and traveler, with a catalog of songs that bridge the gap between the past and present. On Willie's upcoming release of Folksinger Vol. 2, he acts as a modern interpreter of older songs, passing along his own version of the music that came long before him.
Southern gospel. Railroad songs. Delta blues. Irish fiddle tunes. Appalachian music. Folksinger Vol. 2 makes room for it all. Produced by David Rawlings, the album carries on a rich tradition in folk music: the sharing and swapping of old songs. Long ago, the 11 compositions that appear on Folksinger Vol. 2 were popularized by artists like Leadbelly, Reverend Gary Davis, Furry Lewis, and Bascom Lamar Lunsford. The songs don’t actually belong to those artists, though. They don’t belong to anyone. Instead, they’re part of the folk canon, passed from generation to generation by singers like Watson.
Kelsea Ballerini
Plays OM-03R
"My OM-03R is easy for me to move with and it sounds absolutely beautiful."

The talented singer-songwriter wrote or co-wrote all 12 songs on her debut. Kelsea has recently joined Thomas Rhett for his HOME TEAM TOUR and is currently on Lady Antebellum’s YOU LOOK GOOD WORLD TOUR.

Camille Peruto
"I've never played a guitar that I loved more than my Larrivée. The sound is incredibly resonant, and it is crafted beautifully!"
South Jersey-based recording artist and singer/songwriter Camille Peruto creates her music with a melodious blend of pop, rock, and folk sounds. With a wide range of influences, her music exudes catchy melodies and memorable lyrics. Her debut album, "Sparrow", has been sold out everywhere other than iTunes.
