"Louis Apollon has an angelic, magical quality to his voice.  It’s the kind of voice that makes you just want to relax, sit and listen forever.  Hearing him sing is a healing.  I’ve been in the music biz for a long time and I am convinced that Louis has a really special gift that will one day carry him to stardom.  If you haven’t heard him, I urge you to run, don’t walk, to see him and buy his recordings so that one day you can say that you were a fan before he became a star.”

~ Janice Pendarvis - Singer, College Professor, Activist

"Listening to Louis Apollon is truly a musical experience that is full of heart and soul. As a songwriter, Louis weaves a story that is honest and beautiful. As a guitarist, his style is a mix of everything. As a singer, soulful. All together, you have a uniquely gifted artist that will have your full attention and will leave you wanting to hear more."

~Paula Gallitano - Producer, Songwriter, Professor

"The first single, "You Are a Dream," embodies the character of ‘70s soul giants, like Al Green, with Louis' own jazz/folk flavor ... Louis creates a nostalgically romantic musical venture, a balance of simplicity and technical prowess."

~Brian Vernake, Editor at The Deli Magazine - New England (article)

"The Boston-based singer-songwriter has an uncanny sense of tune, picking out unpredictable, yet hummable melodies to whimsical words ... There’s some magic in the way he overlays a detailed rhythm with his smooth-as-sunrise voice and makes it seem simple..."

"There are certain CDs that we have in our collections, that we can listen to, over and over, to uplift us. Louis Apollon has written such a CD ... We need his stories of love, peace, tolerance, and joy in the simplicity of living a life where we are loved by those around us. The amazing rhythms of this talented group will have you on your feet or singing out loud, in your car." (full album review)

~Pamela Hines, Live Jazz New England on 90.5 FM WICN radio

"Boston based singer/songwriter Louis Apollon delivers a well-balanced blend of jazz, folk, and funk that uplifts, energizes and de-stresses the human soul ... One thing’s for sure, you won’t be able to listen to this music without being lifted and filled with joy."

~Joshua Smotherman - Middle Tennessee Music (full article)

"Louis Apollon is a magical performer. Just about every songwriter you hear clearly has passion for the songs they sing, but what about a passion for music? Do they take joy in just being able to sing? Do you feel that joy? To hear Lou perform, is to watch Lou perform, which is to become one with his beautiful songs, but also with his love of song itself. Experiencing Lou’s music is both profound and humbling as you get to share in Lou’s journey and appreciate the great beauty of a soul shining bright with purpose, love, and gratitude."
