Luis Alcantar Music

About Me

Luis Alcantar is one of the premier musician/entertainers in the Chicago Area. LA features a penchant for guitar work and transcendent vocals. LA has been performing in the Chicago Area in various incarnations for the past 13 years. LA has been linked with various solo, duo, and band projects. From the original LA and Jason Smith band EHC, to the jazz duo Morpheous, to the jam band The Rainmakers, to dip, and finally to Solo Performances. La has been recently performing at more private engagements then public but look for that to change soon. Our hero’s aptitude for musicianship is beyond compare. From Unfettered Jam’s (Wow I just typed Unfettered Jam) to the Spinal Tapian mood provided at every show. It is one for the ages to drink in and accept as truth. LA will leave you desirous of more. You may ask what more? I don’t know I’m just the narrator for this. However, I do have special powers. So, I’ll remain Anonymous and Omniscient. LA has an insouciant attitude when it comes to performing. Don’t expect a person walking through the crowd playing a solo or asking everybody to scream. LA will prefer to stay to himself play a mystical solo or sing a beautifully executed piece of modern music. LA is something that will change your lives dramatically with one night. If you chose to experience the ethereal wonder of LA, you will only then be able to fathom what all others have known. LA is a gift that keeps on giving. So, get out there and see him. Now!!!! And, remember I am omniscient.Comment from Luis Alcantar….. Wow thanks Anonymous. I guess it is good that you are omniscient because you are also a pop in jay. La….
