Used to be one of the best kept secrets at LarryFest. The idea started with a group of songwriters who played original songs and covers around a campfire during LarryFest. The gathering became too large, and we decided to create a stage for it. Larry Sebranek initially built a small stage and we entitled it The Songwriter Stage. More to the story...
Little Valley Stage Band Line-Up
LarryFest has always supported new and upcoming performers on the main stage and the little stage. It really was what Doug Sebranek was best at. Booking new music, original music, and upcoming artists that many of us have never heard before. We have a lot of bluegrass of course but also Americana, folk, old time music, old country, original music, jazz and more. As years went by, we gathered quite a large audience in the valley of LarryFest. More incredible writers and players wanted to be on the “little” stage just to be a part of LarryFest.
We decided to change the name of the stage when Larry Sebranek built an even larger well deserved version of our little stage. We called it the Little Valley Stage because it’s initials are LVS or Larry Virgil Sebranek. If you are at the little stage you will see a sign on the side of the stage that says; “Play Your Heart Out” which is a quote from Virgil Sebranek. He would also always tell Dan Sebranek to “play his heart out” and he sure does.
We dedicate the stage to Doug Sebranek, who is no longer with us. The Little Valley Stage now has a life of its own for many years and counting. It doesn't rival the big stage at LarryFest, it accentuates it by adding new and interesting acts different than our main stage to make our fest unique.
