“There is something special about Louis Cato's ability to captivate an audience.” Radiant with charisma and a sound shaped by jazz, funk, blues and soul, this Grammy® Award-nominated multi-instrumentalist is best known as the final bandleader for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. He has an innate talent for crafting rich sonic landscapes into timeless gems, from original compositions to his popular Cato Covers series, where he reimagines an eclectic range of songs. Praised for his “immense musicality” and “honest, thoughtful, and vulnerable storytelling,” Cato joins his trio for a magnetic Philadelphia debut performance that’s not to be missed. (NPR Music)
