Biography
Larry Fleet was born and raised in White Bluff, Tennessee. His great grandfather and great-uncle had a bluegrass band called the Happy Two, which he joined when he was six years old. His great-uncle taught him how to play guitar and fiddle.[1]
Throughout 2009 and 2010, Fleet played almost every Friday night at The Wet Bar in Dickson, Tennessee, as well as at a bar called Evolutions. It was in these two venues that Fleet really developed and matured as an artist. Later, he chose to move to Nashville in pursuit of a country music career. In 2017, country singer Jake Owen discovered Fleet performing cover songs at a wedding, and booked him as an opening act. Fleet also competed on Real Country, a singing competition on the USA Network where Owen serves as a judge. Fleet placed second on the show, which led to him recording a number of independent releases prior to signing with Big Loud.[2] He officially signed with the label in October 2019.[3]
Fleet co-wrote his debut single "Where I Find God" with Nashville-based songwriter Connie Harrington. She had discovered Fleet through his social media accounts, where he would post a cover of a gospel song every Sunday. Harrington expressed interest in writing a song with him, and the two wrote it after she presented him with the title.[4] "Where I Find God" entered the Billboard Country Airplay charts at number 58 for the chart dated October 17, 2020.[5] The song would peak at number 43 on the chart dated July 10, 2021.[6]
