Louiston!
November 7 @ 6:30 pm
Slick, seasoned guitar work, a pure and authentic voice, lyrics that matter, a deep DIY streak, and the production chops to make records on his own terms – these are what make Lou a one-man wrecking crew and one of the savviest, sharpest songwriters in upstate NY, and maybe beyond.
Lou is a mostly solo-acoustic singer and songwriter dabbling in americana, folk, indie, and good old-fashioned rock n’ roll. Lou’s been gigging around the Northeast since his late teens, but most recently and most frequently in and around upstate NY, in too many bars, wineries, and cafés to count.
His brand of songwriting draws on and honors the countless, varied artists and bands that made him: 90s-era “alternative”; any skate-punk band that existed between ’95 and ’05; the vintage sounds of Patsy Cline, Ernest Tubb, and Sam Cooke; Elliott Smith; Justin Townes Earle, and contemporaries including The National, Neko Case, Damien Jurado, and Owen. The result is something fresh and authentic, a sound uniquely Lou’s: up-tempo, acoustic folk n’ roll, sometimes tender, sometimes caustic, but always human.
See ya in Danby!
