Lou costa
Guitarist
Inspired by his father’s musical influence a Harmony guitar was put in his hands at an early age. Had a few lessons from a family friend then started to pick things up playing by ear. Listening to country, pop and rock songs of the 60s he picked up finger picking and strumming styles. Got back into playing in high school and was soon playing in local bars, then with an Elvis impersonator (late 70s). After getting married played the wedding circuit (80s ad 90s). After that he was in a Motown band. Next was a rock cover band with some long time friends as well as joining a rock/party band. Playing with other bands and helping some local bands doing sound keeps Lou busy. Today Lou is the guitarist in Any Way You Want It – Journey tribute.
