It was recorded and produced by their drummer, Shawn Rae out of his studio in Cleveland, OH. Fast Track Productions. Listen to it HERE

Lou Rivera was rooted in Liberty, Ohio by current front man Lou Rivera, who originally began “Lou Rivera” as a solo acoustic project. As Rivera started writing/learning more songs he began to play locally for graduation parties, small get togethers, etc. As of late 2014 Lou Rivera had met Shawn Rae, and since then began playing bass guitar/vocals for “Force of Habit”. Getting more involved in music Lou began to revamp his solo acoustic project and it started by adding current keyboardist and fellow classmate Brandon Hurst. Shawn Rae decided to play drums and then they picked up Sean Bednarz on bass guitar in early April 2015.

In the month of July 2015 Lou Rivera expanded upon their music and picked up two new members including longtime friend Nick Byce on saxophone and CJ Mosure, the lead guitar player of “Force of Habit” on lead guitar. Since the bands initial formation they have played various local festivals and venues in the Northeast Ohio area.
