Artist History When Louis sings "I was born in Amarillo with the honky tonks and the rodeos" it's the truth. He was born Louis Anthony Homen, the youngest of six boys raised in Amarillo, Texas in a large, close-knit family. Like his autobiographical song "Amarillo Bound", his summers were spent on a John Deere tractor helping with the family farm. When he wasn't farming, he was playing his guitar and lining up gigs. He started off as a solo act at a barn dance and never looked back. Louis graduated with a degree in Geology from West Texas A&M University, married Alice Hill and moved to Dallas where he pursued his environmental consulting career. With his band days on hold for a while, he started is own company, LH Environmental Consulting, Inc., which grew to become a leading environmental consulting firm in North Texas. Louis sold the business in 2003 and now he is devoting his time to singing and songwriting. After seven years and two miscarriages, Louis and Alice were truly blessed with the birth of their daughter, Chelsea and even more blessed and surprised by the birth of their second daughter, Meredith one year later. Louis wrote the song "By the Faith" after Chelsea was born so they would always remember their faith in God led them to such a happy and glorious day. In addition to quality family time, Louis enjoys writing, promoting his music, bass fishing and playing golf. Homen recorded Never Too Late which was released in December of 2002. This 13 track CD of Texas music is a great mix of traditional country, folk and Americana music with lyrics that are from the heart, offering something for everyone. Louis’ smile on and off-stage is contagious and his sense of humor and southern wit is a reflection of his true happiness.
