Songwriter, singer, and guitarist for Guava Duff, Larson Sutton grew up in a farmhouse on a small island in Rhode Island where he grew up to appreciate a rural folk lifestyle rocked by gentle and sometimes volatile ocean rhythms. "I tend to write most of my songs with some kind of experience behind it. It may sound unusual but snow on a barn or sunrise over the water inspires me as much as any sound", says Sutton.The songs on Guava's Duffís debut, 'Two Days Until Tomorrow', were largely written after trips to London and the Bahamas. For their recent release, 'Does It Matter?' the songs were less inspired by particular destinations, then by a desire for a more live feel. "I was trying to capture a more raw sound. It's more than a collection of songs . . . it's the sound of a band in a small garage studio."During the last six years spent on the road full-time, Sutton performed with Phish, Blues Traveler, moe., G Love and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. "Those were the guys I emulated and, on occasion, jammed alongside," recalls Sutton.
