Album Notes

A songwriter and musician for 28 years, Lou's love for all kinds of music has made him a more versatile writer. Born and raised in the Boston area, he grew up with musicians(brother, mother, uncle, grandfather), and watched other musicians(local neighborhood bands and as many concerts as he could attend).
Where most kids pick up a guitar and start to learn songs by their heroes, Lou went almost immediately into writing songs of his own at the age of 16. After buying a 4 track recorder at age 18(with hard-earned, after-school job money), he started to work on recording songs using several instruments. After 26 years of recording, writing, and playing, Lou says "I'm finally starting to get pretty good at it."
Lou has worked with many lyricists, but none with the passion of The Electric Poet.
"George really puts his heart and soul into his songs, which I try to relay through the music as well."
You can find Lou's Christmas song "Home Again For Christmas" from the compilation album "...And To All A Good Night" at:
