Larry Pierce

Hilariously crude, rude, and raunchy dirty country music singer and songwriter Larry G. Pierce was born on July 18, 1950 in Indiana. Larry lived most of his life in the small rural hamlet of Middletown in Central Indiana. He worked for over thirty years at Guide Corporation, which is an auto factory for General Motors. He was forced into retirement after said auto plant closed. Pierce used to play guitar and entertain friends over the weekend and wrote his first filthy country song "Love Letters" as kind of a joke. In 1993 someone submitted Larry's music to Laughing Hyena Entertainment, a music label that specializes in truck stop comedy and distributes albums almost exclusively to truck stops all over America. Pierce recorded thirteen albums in ten years for this label. He soon amassed a loyal and sizable fan following despite the fact that he had never toured the country doing any live concerts and his songs failed to receive any airplay on the radio. Larry was the subject of the documentary "Dirty Country" in 2003 (this documentary was completed and released in 2007). In 2005 Pierce did a live show with the equally sleazy Colorado Springs rock band -itis in Minneapolis; he subsequently toured the country and performed additional delightfully raucous live shows with this uproariously rowdy and uninhibited group. Larry released his fourteenth album on his private label Hat Light Recordings in 2007. Moreover, Pierce appeared as a guest a few times on "The Howard Stern Show." He released his fifteenth album in 2009. Larry died at age 68 on November 19, 2018. He was survived by his wife Sandy and three children.
