Biography
Louis Prince
Real name: Jake McMullen
Effective period / Period of releases: 2020
Louis Prince is the moniker of Nashville Tennessee artist Jake McMullen, and serves as the new platform for his latest record 'Thirteen'. Influenced by 50's and 60's Jazz, French New Wave cinema, and the stream-of-consciousness literary styles of Jack Kerouac and Joseph Conrad, 'Thirteen' feels more like a product of the Beat Generation mid-century Greenwich Village than any of Music City. The Southern roots are present as well in the neo-folk spirit of later Bob Dylan and the existential exploration of generational malaise in Robert Altman's Film, "Nashville" or Waler Percy's Southern Gothic classic, "The Moviegoer."
