A founding member of the Les Paul Trio, Lou Pallo first met Les Paul in 1963 and began performing and recording with him almost immediately. Their relationship, both personal and professional, continued until Les's death in 2009. They played together as a duo and a trio weekly for many years at Fat Tuesdays and the Irridium in New York City. For the past two years, Lou has performed in the Les Paul Trio Benefit Concert at Ramapo College, and also at the Les Paul 97th Birthday Gala.
As a tribute to his good friend, Lou recently spearheaded a new CD "Thank You, Les: A Tribute to Les Paul," which features Lou, Bucky Pizzarelli and many other music legends, many who were mentored and encouraged by Les. Lou Pallo also produced and performed on the CD "Jersey Guitar Mafia." Lou will play, share his memories of Les and talk about the making of his new CD, which will be available for purchase and can be autographed after the talk.
