Just prior to arriving at the Rio Cafe on Boston Post Rd in Mamaroneck NY, I notice no parking anywhere within a two block radius of the RIO.
Out front I notice the line to get it, its only 6:30pm the show starts at eight. Louis takes the stage at eight fifteen, in a make shift corner of the floor, six inches from his closest fan.
No band just a solo acoustic, Louis, starts strumming, harmonica, next, an erruption of Springsteen like proportions from 60 or so people.
I am here, it is real, I am grateful.
This new kid on the block is the real deal.

Bio
Gary Louis Meglino, aka, Gary Louis, grew up in Ardsley NY. A Westchester suburb 19 miles north of NYC. A multi instrumentalist whose primary gigs center around his strong vocal abilities and, lock tight jazz guitar. But of all talents, it is for certain, the prophetic style of lyrical mastery that pulls us in, meaningful metaphors abounding. His earliest musical influences were varied, from Joni Mitchell to the Temptations and literally everyone in between. Louis has been said to have a "radio friendly" voice, whose range and beauty have led him to sing and play with some of the best musicians in Westchester and NYC. By January of 2008 Louis had begun cultivating his own brand of pop acoustic funk. The powerful, bourbon drinking, "Big Game" is a take charge, get your ass up, standout single. On the easier side of the spectrum, the soulfully detailed compositions of, "Though a Smile", an up beat Dylan like treasure, and, "Blocking the Sun" a one track masterpiece recording filled with emotions from way down deep, this track has cemented Louis in the "here to stay" category. His local following is growing organically through word of mouth and e-mail. G. Louis, and his audience, exist together as one, to create a universal message of feel good vibrations that is apparently contagious
