Lou De Meis

Hi Gang!

I created this website for anyone who is interested in finding out more about my career. Over the years, many people have asked me where I came from and how I got started doing what I do. Here is a capsulized version of my history:

Born and raised in South Philadelphia, I attended Bishop Neumann high school, Penn State University & Combs College of Music, where I studied Piano & Composition. After college, some of you might remember me from my work as a singer/songwriter in an 8-piece original group called, " Dirty Martha", for 8 years. When that ended, I joined a 5-piece band, "MorningStar", and worked clubs and casinos for many years.

In the late 80's, I ran my own production company for a while and did many, various promotions in the Tri-State area. In 1990, I auditioned in New York for Barry Manilow Presents Copacabana, and got the gig as the bad guy, 'Rico'. What a wonderful job that was!!! Barry was a very cool dude and treated the cast like gold! I followed that up with several other shows in Atlantic City and the surrounding area (Cabaret; Dracula; Chicago). I did a stint hosting Karaoke & Trivia promotions for several years 'down the shore', hosted a Philly based weekly TV magazine called Out on the Town, as well as continuing my singing career.

In 2008, I moved to Vegas and have been working here steadily since then. I have done musicals (Les Miserables; Cabaret; Guys & Dolls; My Fair Lady) and hosted many events and shows in town. I even sang back up for Streisand.

 

Along with my singing and acting, I have begun producing shows. Recently, I had the privilege of presenting Rich Little, the world famous impressionist , as well as Bubba Knight, one of the original Pips, to mention a few.
 

I also produced and performed in A Suncoast Kinda Christmas, as well as my own creations, The Flower Power Time Machine 60’s Show, Those Fabulous 50’s, and several more productions.
 

Did I mention that I’m having a BLAST in all my endeavors? Well, I AM!!!!!
