Born in Trieste, Italy with musical and familial ties to famed opera star Giovanni Martintelli, Larry emigrated to New York City. While in high school, Larry befriended Gene Simmons of KISS. In fact, Larry provided acoustic guitar and vocals on Gene's first demo tape. Around that time, Larry formed his first band, The Outsiders, later renamed Cabiria. With founding member Mark Nyburg, the band played the legendary Max's Kansas City, Folk City, and CBGB's. Sharing the bill at CBGB's with the Ramones, Blondie and Tom Petty, Larry recorded two songs on "The Best of Underground LP" for Atlantic Records. Cabiria's single, "Disciple" was picked up by Cannon films and is still seen on the USA Cable Network and Cinemax. Larry also did stints as bass player for Screaming Jay Hawkins of "I put a Spell on You" fame and sang at Eubie Blake's 100th birthday bash. Always looking for neww horizons to conquer, Larry was writer and composer of several musical comidies in NYC. Among them, Psychedelic Relic and Pickles. His plays were considered underground comedy classics. Bob Sanks, then president of ABC, said of Larry, "Upcoming. A brilliant comedy mind! His writing is poetry to my ears." Variety magizine raved, "Sharp wit! A perverse sort of fun!" SOHO NEWS echoed, "Wicked and hysterically funny." Larry eventually moved to Westerly, RI where he performs frequently with his brother, popular guitar virtuoso, Flav Martin. They have played Westerly's Performance Hall, Shakespeare in the Park and most recently opened for Davey Jones of the Monkees and Pete Best, original drummer for the Beatles. Larry is married to Brenda Medina and together they share two beautiful daughters, Katie and Anna.
