Louie McNeal Location: Russell, KY
I've been writing, recording and performing music for the better part of the past 20 years. Though major stardom remains out of reach for the moment, I have managed to make a living playing music. Most of the time, its cover tunes of artists that I havve admired and who have influenced my own style of writing and performing, so I can get away with playing a lot of my orignals because they have an air of familiarity to them. I usually don't tell anyone when I play an original song until after they've stopped clapping.
Most of my shows are of the solo acoustic variety, but Ifrom time to time I throw the fellas together for some band-shows. Currently playing about 5-6 shows a week in a 5 state radious of where I presently reside (Northeastern Kentucky). These range from classy monkey suit gigs to dive bars with dirt floors.
One thing I can say for sure is that I love music and do whatever I can to continue doing it full-time. Its the only job in the world that I have been able to do well. I take it very seriously, but I still manage to keep it fun.
Enjoy,
