Larry Garner Lights Up the Baden Blues Club
In the shadow of the Alps, where the streets of Baden echo with history, something raw and soulful takes place when Larry Garner steps onstage at the Baden Blues Club. The Louisiana native brought more than just music to Switzerland — he brought stories, wisdom, and the kind of groove that makes you feel seen.
From Baton Rouge to Baden
Larry Garner doesn’t just play the blues — he lives it, he talks it, and when he picks up his guitar, the room leans in. At the Baden Blues Club, an intimate venue known for curating powerful lineups, Garner delivered a set that felt like a front-porch conversation with a friend who’s been through some things.
Highlights from the night:
- “Keep on Playing the Blues” got the whole room swaying, nodding in silent agreement
- Spoken-word storytelling between songs gave context and color to every lyric
- Garner’s warm rapport with the audience turned the show into something close to church — blues church
“The blues ain't nothing but life, and if you live long enough, you gonna play ‘em whether you know it or not.”
— Larry Garner, live at Baden Blues Club
