  1. Hi this is Katie perry from Rochester NY I use to wait on him and his family at Browncroft corners Restaurant on Browncroft Blvd so cool to know him personally but I hope he is doing well

  2. Correct. He is a Rochester Native and still lives there. We went to Sammy Palermo’s church together. My mother, Louise Servati, grew up with his dad. My brother hired his band to play at St. Ambrose church in what was called “The Battle of the Bands”. Lou is phenomenal singer and song writer. Top five best rock voices of all time.

  3. Lou indeed lives in Rochester. We both attended Sammy Palermo’s church at one time in Webster. My mother new his father as a young adult. Great voice and person. Glad to say he’s from my home town.

  4. always wanted to see Lou live, finally friday night at Ballys Twin River Casino. it was billed as an 80’s retro show with Asia, Journey, and Foreigner. It actually was the current line up of the Band Asia and Steve Augeri (the second Steve Perry), and Lou Gramm. it was actually pretty good for a bunch of aging rockers.
    Lou was the best…one disapointment…I bought a shirt , that was ok front but he back has the words from MIDNIGHT BLUE…the very best Lou Gramm song……HE NEVER SANG IT. I figured since the words were on the T shirt it was a definite….i was so sad….maybe next time?

  5. I met him in Napa2021 at a winery one of the very best! – and so low key. I respect his dignity, and his success,especially with the lifestyle he endured…Entertainers put out their soul to the public; and become prisoners to; the industry of politics, &management.I put Lou Gram right next to Elvis to be one of America’s –most gifted entertainment King’s !
