Every weeknight, Louis Cato performs live in front of a few million people as the band leader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Today, Louis talks about the multi-decade journey that led him here - from listening to “only Jesus music” in his youth and then having his mind blown by the Rolling Stones, to dropping out of the Berklee College of Music and touring the world, to a near-fatal accident that still affects him to this day. He even sings us a few beautiful bars. Louis’ most recent solo album is called “Reflections”.
