Session guitarist Larry Saltzman poses for a portrait in Fall, 2018

NEW YORK CITY: Maybe you don’t know his name, but you’ve surely fallen in love with the sound of his guitar: Larry Saltzman is the maverick session guitarist who’s performed and recorded with a who’s who of stellar artists including Simon & Garfunkel, Bette Midler, and David Johansen to name a few.

He’s also on on speed dial when a film calls for an actor to play guitar and requires expert coaching, such as teaching Timothée Chalamet to strum like Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown or Meryl Streep in Ricki and the Flash.

Let’s welcome Larry to Vienna Live and discover the art of the session guitarist!
