TJ Larum is a musician, mover, and shaker from St. Cloud, MN. His moral crusade has had him wearing many hats, including grant writer for numerous fine arts nonprofits, director of performing arts ensembles, and organizer of community-development events. Additionally, he organized Minnesota’s first percussion ensemble catering to those with special needs in 2017.

TJ currently performs with local acts including Spurious, Soapbox Sonata, and Kick-It Contigo. He combines elements of his many musical influences to form what he likes to call “a percussive take on an acoustic twang.” Drawing inspiration from artists such as Thomas Kalnoky and Chadwick Stokes. When he’s not performing at nightclubs, cafes, weddings, parties, and festivals across Minnesota, he’s “trying burn [his] tongue off with hot sauce”.

TJ will hit Your Sound Alternative’s Performance Studio at 9 p.m. on Monday, Sept 16 for a one-hour live performance. You can listen to Monday Night Live by tuning into KVSC 88.1 FM, stream online, or watch it live on UTVS.
