Artist History Lou Marini III was born on in Denton, Texas. The only child of Blue Lou Marini Jr., longtime saxophone player for the Blues Brothers Band, Lou grew up literally submerged in all types of music. Having inherited his fathers lust for music, Lou has been beating away on pots and pans since the spry age of 4...finally scoring a real set at the age of 10. He spent the next decade exploring the world of drumming, as well as being immersed in the soulful blues scene his father was so involved in. From the Beatles to Aretha...Lous love and appreciation for all the classics runs deep. As a teenager, however, Lous own generation of music inevitably began to take a front seat, as bands like Judas Priest and Van Halen dominated the rock scene. Then the new wave of grunge bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alice n Chains literally changed the face of music. It is this very melding of such diverse musical backgrounds that has influenced Lou so drastically and given him such an undeniably distinct sound and style. Having lived in Dallas all his life...Lou is not at all new to the Dallas music scene. He has drummed for several notorious DFW bands in the late 80s and early 90s. Ironically, it wasnt until 1992 that Lous capacity in music changed as he discovered his voice. Somehow through all the horns and drums, no one ever noticed that this kid could sing! His raw vocal talent undeniable, Lou gave up the drums indefinitely for a microphone and has spent the last 3 years newly submerged in the Dallas music scene searching for his band...only this time as front man. His music career seems to finally be on the right track, as his former band LONGHOUSE was quickly becomming one of Dallas' most up and coming new Rock bands before their split earlier this year. Louie Marini is a raw talent...rock stardom is the plan...and he has spent most of his life readying himself for it. From everything to career choices to family choices, this guy is rock star bound! His sound is melodic and soulful yet blistering, his stage presence is dynamic and his dedication is 100%. Whatever it takes...
