Val Louis...Singer/Songwriter, Keyboardist,Trumpeter.

 

Val's musical roots sprouted from Rock and Roll since before the days of sharing the stage with legends and greats Sam and Dave (Hold On I'm Comin, I'm a Soul Man), Dr. Buzzard (Kid Creole), Nevelle Brothers, Leslie West and Mountain, and Richie Cannata (Billy Joel Saxman) who blows solo's on Val's "Cool n Easy"solo album.​

 

The bands sound is rooted in Pop & Rock built on strong lyric content, rhythmic and melodic hooks and power ballads that just might take you back and conjure up the Blue Eyed Soul era.  The VLB  catalog also includes Funk, Jazz, Latin, Blues, Reggae and more.
