Singer, songwriter, and member of the Bay Area music scene Jeff Larson, and longtime collaborator Gerry Beckley of the band America have have joined forces to create the album, Jeff Larson with Gerry Beckley. Due October 24, 2025 on the Nashville-based Melody Place label, it’s a record with roots in the California sound.

Along with the announcement, they have also released first single “C’mon Home“. The Beckley-Larson composition has twin lead vocals and lyrics that “offer a guiding hand to someone who’s lost their way.”

Larson says:

‘C’mon Home’ was the last song to be added to this project. I think we knew we had a strong set of songs but maybe lacked one more to fill it out.  Gerry sent me a track he was working on that I could tell already had a vibe and a hook with the slide part he did.  He had the initial verse lines and chorus idea, so he asked if I would fill the lyric in and sing it.  To me this is classic Gerry Beckley production with hooks all over.  It seems to have almost written and sung itself.

Beckley adds:

…after retiring from my life of touring a couple years ago, I discovered that my love for writing and recording has not abated. If anything, this extra daylight in my schedule has allowed me to focus even more on this part of my creativity.  This latest collaboration with Jeff I think stands as a great example. We have been writing and recording together for years now and I feel this is some of our best work ever.
