If you're tired of hearing the same DJ's or no one wants to take a half hour to decide what to play on the jukebox, then come out and hear a live performer while still being able to talk to the person next to you.
If you want to add something new to that fund-raiser or party you're throwing , or your establishment just isn't big enough to handle a full band, then check out my bookings page and call or drop me an e-mail.
My playlist includes a wide variety of music from the 50's to TODAY. In the style of James Taylor, Garth Brooks, The Beatles, Jimmy Buffett,
Barenaked Ladies, Greenday, Matchbox 20, Elvis, Dylan, McClean, Irish Pub Songs, The Hip, Hootie, and much, much more! I also have several original songs including a tribute to my old neighborhood "THE OLD FIRST WARD".
I also have a large selection of music for DJ events and KARAOKE equipment which is a big hit with kids as well as adults. I am very flexible and have done all three some events. While you are here, please sign my
guest book and I will put you on my e-mailing list for future public performances. Thanks again for visiting. Billy LaRusch
P.S. If you're looking to enjoy all your Irish favorites, Check out the shows featuring my good friend and excellent vocalist TIM LALLEY. Tim is a retired Police Officer from Hamburg, NY and performed in the past with his friend John McCann. John now lives and performs with his band, Corned Beef and Curry in the Pittsburgh, PA area. Tim and I have a great time performing together and offer a mix of Irish Folk tunes and popular "sing a-long" songs.
I would also like to thank RON LEISTEN who is a great addition on the drums. BOB ROOF has also added his skills as a bass player to many performances when he is on break from the Stonebridge Band and Bob Roof and Friends.
WE HAVE COME UP WITH A NEW NAME FOR OUR EVER GROWING IRISH ENSEMBLE. IT IS "COSAIN" WHICH IS GAELIC FOR "PROTECT AND DEFEND". WE WILL BE AT THE BLACKTHORN PUB IN MARCH AND ONCE AGAIN AT GOING SOUTH'S SBIF.
PLAY ME A JINGLE, The LaRusch and Lalley CD is still available. Remember that all proceeds will benefit The KPL Society, a charitable organization formed to honor the memory of Kevin Lalley. Kevin was the nephew of Tim and brother of Blackthorn Co-owner Patrick Lalley. The CD includes several of your favorite Irish Pub Songs, Songs of Freedom, and one original song I wrote about growing up in my old neighborhood called "The Old First Ward". We hope you have fun listening because we had a great time making it. Thanks, Bill LaRusch & Tim Lalley
