About Louis from my intro to the show: Louis brings a fusion of jazz, folk, and other musical styles from many different cultures. His childhood love of music, and formal education in it as an adult, all came tougher to make his 2017 album, “Free To Be”. And with that one album, he has had so much success. In 2018 he was nominated for “male performer of the year” at the New England Music awards. He has received lots of accolades from music professionals, professors, and music magazines like Middle Tennessee Music and others in New England. His music has been heard on numerous radio stations such as 88.9 WERS here in Boston, 90.5 WICN, and WEMF and WATP. Lastly, he has played on countless stages across New England, New York, and even Illinois. And when COVID took away those live shows for a time, he turned to streaming his music, and recording covers for his YouTube channel. He is super talented instrumentally as well as with the pen.
Louis is based in Brooklyn NY, and streamed into the show. He performed two songs live, one from his 2017 album and one from the upcoming album. No date set for the release of his next album, but he did announce that he will be playing live at Club Passim on September 13th. We also had a good discussion about defining the Jazz and Folk music genres.
