Recording artist Nicolas Bearde’s dynamic show traces the life and music of the legendary, Grammy-winning vocalist, Lou Rawls.  In his own inimitable style, Nicolas conjures up Lou’s spirit in song, from the early blues and jazz years to the hugely popular R&B hits that helped make Lou Rawls world-famous.  Renowned for his silky-smooth, soulful vocals, and his engaging, humorous monologues about life on the street, Lou was the quintessential musical storyteller. With a heart as big as his voice, evidenced through his work with the United Negro College Fund and his famous annual “Parade of Stars”, Lou was truly a man of the people.  His timeless music now comes alive in Bearde’s vivid and affectionate tribute with some of Lou’s greatest hits, including…Tobacco Road, Natural Man, Lady Love, You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine and I’d Rather Drink Muddy Water.
