Live Music: Antonio Larosa
Fix Featured EventAntonio Larosa is a country-roots artist whose music blends the grit of blues, the soul of vintage rock, and the storytelling of classic country. With a voice that channels the spirit of Elvis Presley, Larosa creates songs that are heartfelt, lived-in, and unapologetically honest. Raised in Vancouver, BC, Larosa was drawn to the music of Johnny Cash, The Allman Brothers, BB King, and Roy Orbison from a young age. His music reflects those roots: raw, rhythmic, and filled with sincerity, but filtered through his own lens and life experiences.
After years of cutting his teeth on stages across Western Canada, he’s developed a reputation for his electric live shows, where blistering guitar work and vulnerable lyricism meet. In 2023, 2025, and 2026 Larosa was awarded Roots Artist of the Year by the BC Country Music Association, a milestone that affirmed the impact of his music and the path he’s been carving independently. His songs have been featured on SiriusXM and on editorial playlists across Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music and he continues to build a loyal audience through his performances and recordings.
