Larry DeLawder
Two-time Instrumentalist
of the Year
Larry travels full time with his wife Sara, and 2 daughters, Hannah, & Faith. He is multi-talented, playing harmonica, among other instruments. He also adds comedy through his impersonation of Barney Fife.
See Larry perform as Barney P. Fife
Do you remember one of America’s favorite TV Show’s in the early 1960’s, “The Andy Griffith Show”? And do you remember Barney Fife, the bumbling but dedicated deputy in that sleepy little town of Mayberry NC? We all looked forward each week to see just what Barney was up to. Well this is your opportunity to experience “Barney’s” special humor again!
The Larry DeLawder Family
Music Collection
Larry has always desired to have his family by his side and on the platform in ministry! Larry and his wife, Sara, along with their daughter Faith are traveling full time. Their heart is that their ministry is one where they can use their God given talents to touch hearts, win souls, and minister in whatever way God will use them.
Their oldest daughter Hannah was married in October 2022, coming off the road to be with her husband in PA. The Lord has some amazing plans for them, and we are excited to see that unfold! Be sure to check out their family music projects: “Hymns”, “I’m Ready for a Blessing”, & their latest – “The Final Say”!

We have had The Larry DeLawder Family at our church/community picnics over the last few years and, plan on having them... back in the future. Of course, there is comedy and fun with, great music and singing but, they are sincere about who they are representing and the call on their lives. We are blessed to have spent time with them and got to know their heart and, see that they are who they are, on and off the stage. I recommend them for any event you have in or out of church. It's comedy and music with a divine purpose!

We had the honor and privilege of having Larry DeLawder and his family with us at Central Baptist Church in Hildebran,... NC. The experience was not just a day filled with entertainment. It was a uplifting time of worship and drawing closer to our Lord Jesus. Sara, Hannah and Faith added greatly to the testimony of this wonderful family. If you are looking for something spiritually extraordinary, you don't have to look any further than the DeLawders.read more

Sometimes when you meet an entertainer or minister or whoever, someone with some notoriety, after meeting them and... seeing their personality you might think well, that was a bit of a let down.....Not so with Larry and his family. What they do is great from beginning to end but, Larry, Sara, Hannah and Faith are all just great to be around as people, they are a true blessing.read more
