Interview: Larry Sager of ESQ – Recorded March 1, 2023
Rock At Night has been following ESQ since the release of their singles “Off My Rocker,” “At Night,” and most recently “Everybody Got Something.” The music is good solid rock ‘n’ roll–the way it should be!
In our interview Larry Sager of ESQ discusses leaving Detroit at age 18 for San Francisco; writing songs and performing in his teens; working with Donald Baldwin, a songwriter for the Temptations; recording songs today that he wrote as a teen; his experience with “cooking” old tapes to recover old sessions; the difference between a successful recording session today versus in the “old days”; working with world renowned producer Sylvia Massey; and how the band acquired the name “ESQ”.

I grew up in a household full of rock music, studied journalism in college, and then became a scientist.Although my science career has served me well, music has always played a major role in my life. I grew up reading "Creem" magazine; I play several musical instruments as a "hobby";and it seems a camera has always been in my hand. Now, I am combining what I love the most--music and photography--serving as editor of Rock At Night. I travel between the US and UK seeking my dream! My motto: life is short...no regrets. Chyrisse
