Louis Cato

The title track of Louis Cato’s forthcoming album, Reflections, begins with the words “I wasn’t ready for reflections.” Yet the more you listen to Cato’s music the more you learn that he is an extremely self-aware human being.

With songs like “Human,” “Good Enough” and “Another Day,” Cato bounces between genres and styles to expose his personal “collection of imperfect things” as he sings in the show stoppingly brilliant waltz, “Unsightly Room.”

Reflections is a fun and uplifting record that leaves the listener baffled at the diverse skills of the man who’s best known for being the bandleader for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” But what’s even more baffling... the unpredictable song-flow is merely a reflection of Cato’s enviable talents, the ultimate renaissance musician who played every instrument on this record, including electric/acoustic guitar, bass, drums and even some horns.

With his newest composite of work, Cato shares with the world an undeniably kind and empathetic essence, perfectly conveyed by a master artist and technician.
