Speechless.
Someone that literally built the Orlando music scene that I care so deeply about is having their endless servitude scrutinized.
Uncle Lou was the first venue owner that ever looked at me and said “stand on the bar for the best shot” 😭 I was hooked to a lens I had never used before, that wasn’t made for my camera at all. Those photos ended up being used for the DCXPC Live split for RATH & The Wise Guys - Official & The Kutoffs.
Whew. 😥 No doubt Uncle Lou’s was one of the first places the boys played outside of Tampa. Please help if you can.
Cleon Ortille Williams, better known as Uncle Lou of the longtime Mills 50 music venue Uncle Lou's, is currently in Orange County jail under an immigration hold with no criminal charges.
