August 11, 2023—Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Louis Cato’s much anticipated new LP, Reflections, is out now—listen HERE. In celebration, he shares a video for “Cutie Baby” from the album—watch/share HERE.

Fresh off the stage from his Newport Jazz Festival debut, Cato will take the stage at New York City’s (Le) Poisson Rouge for a special album release party with special guest Elizabeth Ziman—more info/tickets HERE. Further tour dates will be announced soon, while the current tour routing can be found below.

Reflections is a fun and uplifting record that showcases the diverse skillset of a musician who’s best known for being the bandleader for “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Performed in its entirety by Cato, the project is merely a snippet of his enviable talents as an ultimate renaissance musician. Cato shares with the world an undeniably kind and empathetic essence, which is artfully conveyed through his newest body of work.

Cato is a Grammy-nominated musician whose collaborators have included John Legend, Talib Kweli, A Tribe Called Quest, Jack White, Bobby McFerrin, Snarky Puppy and, of course, Jon Batiste, his predecessor on “The Late Show.” His love of music started at age two when the purchase of his first drum set evolved into an appreciation of the southern gospel from his native North Carolina and continued into his education at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

After playing in the house band for “The Late Show” since the show’s 2015 inception, Cato was named bandleader for the newly renamed “The Late Show Band.” Watch the on-air announcement HERE.
