Louie Longoria Louie Longoria began performing in 1991 with "The Renegades" a band in which he helped form. Playing the clubs around Mid-Michigan, they quickly became known for their style of music including both classic country and new country and 50's & 60's rock.

A few years later, Louie parted ways with the band to pursue a solo career. Auditioning and performing on a talent show in Nashville Tennesee landed him a recording contract. That session produced a top 15 hit called “An Eye For An Eye” peaking at #11 overseas in the Netherlands. Soon after, Louie was opening shows for Nashville stars including Baillie and The Boys, Billy Joe Royal, Michael Twitty(son of the late Conway Twitty), Opry stars Jack Greene, David Frizzell, George Hamilton IV and Tommy Cash and The Cash Crew. His relaxed humor has never failed him at winning the hearts of his audience that Tommy Cash has had Louie open his shows since 2002 when he tours Michigan. In 2006, Louie had the honor of singing a duet with Tommy called "Six White Horses": A #1 hit for Tommy in 1969. 2006 also brought the long awaited Christmas Cd “Old Time Christmas. Louie has also released two other Cds "Wide Open Country" and "Tribute To The Legends" recorded at 33 1/3rd Street Sound and produced by Darryl Schmitz and Louie Longoria. Louie credits his success to his wife and kids for their support and his personal friendship he has with Tommy Cash and The Cash Crew.
