Louis Cato Performs “Winter Wonderland” on Stephen Colbert

Recently, singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Louis Cato performed “Winter Wonderland” on a special holiday edition of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

GRAMMY-nominated and internationally acclaimed multi-instrumentalist Louis Cato has been keeping audiences engaged on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert since its inception in 2015, and was promoted to the bandleader of the group last summer. Since the age of two, Cato started appreciating music with the purchase of his first drumset, citing artistic influence from southern gospel from his native North Carolina. He has an undeniable talent for crafting sonic landscapes into timeless masterpieces. Releasing his first record STARTING NOW in 2017, Louis Cato produced and mixed the entire record by himself. 

His newest record Reflections is slow, spirited, and heavenly, showcasing his kind and empathetic essence. Cato is not just a solo artist though, he has worked with an array of other established musicians, like Snarky Puppy, Jon Batiste, Q-Tip, A Tribe Called Quest, and many more, mixing in his artistic capabilities and talents with theirs. With the voice of an angel, melodies that pull you in, and the funk of James Brown, Cato’s sound is unmistakable.

NPR Music just named “Unsightly Room” from the LP one of the Best Songs of 2023, raving “While other artists released big studio productions, Cato’s simple guitar and haunting voice reaffirm the power of back-to-basics songcraft and storytelling. It’s a deceptively sweet song with an earworm melody, but something truly horrifying is lurking in the shadows.”
