Kruser’s Local Catch

Kruser’s Local Catch

Louie Bello is like a locomotive train. He runs on steam, stays on track and keeps people moving. His energy, talent and drive and truly impressive. Bello’s been entertaing for 20 years and it’s like he started yesterday. You can’t help but be engaged, whether it’s watching his music videos, TikToks or live performances. Meet, my Local Catch of the Week: Louie Bello from Boston.

Louie now calls Nashville home, parttime, when he’s not touring the country, or back home in Boston. The family man, teacher and entertainer keeps his train moving. He’s constantly writing new songs, dabbling in home improvement projects. His country is soulful, it’s hip hop, it’s dance music. It’s like a melding of sounds he grew up on. You may have seen him opening for Matt Stell, Shane Profitt, Dylan Scott or Tyler Farr. He’s also an in-demand Nashville songwriter, who’s had his work feature on ABC, ESPN and MTV.

The talented artist’s current single, “2 Percenter” has over 450,000 streams on Spotify. His R&B and hip hop skills shine on this work hard/play hard single. But wait until you hear his soon to be released, “Zac Brown.” It’s a soulful and clever take on Louie’s love of Zac’s live shows at Fenway Park, and bringing his love there. It’s completely infectious, well crafted and sure to blow up. Get to know my Catch of the Week, Louie Bello from Boston, here.

  • The Music

    Louie’s current single is called “2 Percenter.” He shared that it’s a song about working hard all week so you can enjoy the weekend. It’s a prelude to his next, and highly anticipated single, “Zac Brown.”

    Now, an exclusive. Louie is set to release a brand new song called “Zac Brown” on May 17. He says, it’s ” inspired by all the shows that Zac and the band have done at Fenway over the last 14 years. Boston turns into a mini Nashville literally overnight. The people, the passion and the partying in one of the most iconic parks in the world is infectious. The first show I saw him do there really pushed me to dig deep and become a better, all around performer and writer. It was also one of the first country concerts I brought my wife to, which is kind of what some of this song is based on. I think it’s less about paying tribute and more about describing the experience. Maybe one day I’ll get up on the stage and open up for him and continue my story!” – Louie Bello

    Here’s a special sneak listen before it’s officially released on May 17!
