I've been writing, recording and performing music for longer than I care to admit. Let's just say 20-25 years... give or take... as the crow flies.
In the studio I do about everything except drums. I'm not 'great' at anything, just 'pretty good' at a lot of different things.
I currently front 7 different line ups and outfits of various shapes and sizes and that keeps me playing pretty much year around. I can scale it down for budget-gigs and I can expand it out for the 'Big Show'.
Current Acts:
1. SOLO- Louie McNeal
(Acoustic Guitar and Vocal)
2. DUO 1- Fitzpatrick/ McNeal
(2 Acoustic Guitars and 2 Vocals)
3. DUO 2 - Mc2
(Acoustic Guitar, Bass and 2 Vocals)
4. TRIO 1. - Acousticats
(2 Acoustic Guitars, Upright Bass and 3 Vocals)
5. TRIO 2. - Hard Edits
(Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums and 3 vocals
6. TRIO 3. - LTC
(2 Acoustic Guitars, Percussion and 3 vocals)
7. QUARTET- Long Time Coming
(Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums and 4 Vocals)
[Though the majority of these bands and acts primarily focus on genre specific cover material, they are all capable of performing our impressive catalog of original compositions, when the opportunity presents itself.]
I have recorded and produced 9 of my own albums (most available here on this site) and I have produced countless other acts and performers throughout my region.
I love collaborating on songwriting. Some of my more accessible and popular tracks are ones where I worked with a collaborator.
Music is my life. I sacrificed a LOT to be able to do it on my own terms and be happy about it. There are easier ways to go, but I prefer the more challenging aspects of writing, recording and performing my music. I really like the phrase, "A calm and easy ocean will make a lousy sailor out of you." Don't know who said it, but I seem to live by it.Band/artist history
Writing, recording and performing for far too long to stop anytime soon.Have you performed in front of an audience?Nearly every weekend, for the past 3 decades.
Your musical influences
Classic-Rock of all eras. Some country songs that are story-oriented with good hooks and lots of folk music from the 60's and 70's.What equipment do you use?
Currently using a Taylor T5 through a Vox 80watt amp.Anything else?
Life's music will play whether or not you are the one playing it. Might as well grab an instrument and join in.Covers

Awesome tune, love your voice, very well written song, love the acoustic guitar as well, very nicely recorded and mixed. I've been listening to a few songs here tonite and will make it back again, you have a lot of great music here and really enjoying your songwriting, I write acoustic rock as well, it's my fav music! Thanks for sharing your talent here on SC ;)Louie,
okay, read the BRUTAL stuff over at CC´s.
This thing is ROLLIN´. Great slide and acoustic work!
Singing could be even more up front, but this is a minor thing.
All together great stuff!
Love it
Thanks for sharing
AndreasHi Louie...
You've got a lot of really cool music here. I listened to a few of them. You sure do cover a lot of musical territory.
I like this track here...that "rolling down the track" kind of beat that just don't quit...great stuff...and some good lyrics and singing to boot. I like the acoustic guitar in this one...it may be acoustic...but it takes no prisoners. Great stuff!
Hugs...Mike (NAV)Hi Louie,
really love your song....Anywhere With You, nice tune, nice guitar playin and great voice. I'm really into acoustic folk, or acoustic rock music, is the kind I write as well. I've added that tune to a station of mine and look forward to comin back to hear some more of your music soon!
