The Story
I got the idea for “One More Round” while thinking about drinking songs one day. I thought to myself, “I need a good drinking song.” Most of the gigs I play are in bars and clubs and everyone’s drinking, so why not? Let’s get them invested and give them something they can relate to, right?
“Everything and nothing” is my new favorite way to answer the question, “What’s going on?”
Good Lord, I’ve been totally avoiding my own site. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time for updates. So I threw up a new theme design (hope you enjoy it) and said, “I’m going to write something, dammit.” So here we are.
Goodbye 2012
Today I have the pleasure of announcing my new album, The Code of the West. I’ll be releasing it slowly in all the usual places soon but these are your best bets for now.
There’s a SoundCloud widget where you can listen to the songs:

I have two shows booked this summer, thus far.
The first is at one of my favorite venues – Crossroads in Garwood, NJ. This is a great place with good food and an all ages crowd so no need to find that babysitter.
We play from 8-9pm and my good friend Jill Cagney is playing before us from 7-8pm. So get there early and see her too. Rumor has it we’ll be “dueting” a song between our sets…
I’ve added two gigs to the calendar, folks. I sure hope to see you there if you’re in the area.
December 2, 2011 will be at one of my favorite NJ venues, The Crossroads in Garwood, NJ. We go on at 8pm. Dave Wilson will be making his debut on lead guitar. Steve Savona is on bass and Rob Silverman will be on drums. It’s always a good time at Crossroads and the food is great so please come on down and have some fun with us.
Hi all. I have the pleasure of being the Featured Artist on PensEyeView.com on July 13-14, 2011.
I’m very excited about the feature and the interview posted so please have a read and let them know that you liked it. The direct link is http://penseyeview.com/content/lou-tambone.
Oh, that Nuge… always good for a quote.
It’s been an interesting couple of years to say the least. 2009 and 2010 found me writing two albums worth of material, plus what I call “pre-composing” two concept pieces of about 10 songs each. I call it pre-composing because those pieces exist only in my head except for the lyrics which are all written and complete.
I’m currently in search of a few musicians for my backing band.
If you’re in the northern NJ area and have some time on your hands, let me know. I’m currently searching for a Drummer and Keyboard Player.
All you have to do is give a listen to a few of the songs here on the site. If you like them and would like to play them live with us, shoot me a message and we’ll set something up. If you’re a multi-instrumentalist, even better. All I ask is that you know your craft/instrument.
I’ve been quite busy the past year writing, recording, re-recording, compiling, plotting, scheming, planning, and you get the idea.
I think that 14 songs seems like a good enough amount for a formal release. Why 14? No idea. It just seems like a good number to me. I already have more songs in the works that will probably end up on the second release unless I decide to squeeze some more onto this one. I’m enjoying the number 14 though. Paul Westerberg’s first official solo record (if you don’t count the Replacements’ All Shook Down as a Paul record) was called 14 Songs. So why not. There must be some good karma there someplace.
