ABOUT
Cote Louis De Souza
The Cote Louis Desouza Band is a Christian Rock band that focuses on excelling in musical craftsmanship with a wide variety of genres. The band was formed in 2016 with two rock-and-roll gents attending the Village Church of Barrington, Illinois: Gerry Cote, singer and guitarist from Rough Draft Rocks and Kevin Louis, who plays bass, rhythm guitar, and sings. At the request of Gerry and Kevin, fellow church members Ron DeSouza and his son Lucas were invited to join, and they completed their band that same year. Ron plays the keys and organ, and Lucas, nicknamed “The Kid,” plays the drums. In Late 2023, Sam Cuellar joined CLD adding his amazing bass guitar skills.
The Cote Louis DeSouza Band, otherwise known as CLD, seeks to employ their God-given musical gifts to the glory of God as they delve into such topics in their songs as the meaning of life, navigating through life, and how to obtain eternal life. Their original songs talk about how we need someone to save us from our sins; and that that Someone is the God-Man Jesus. For the eternal life which CLD have found in Jesus, they praise God with their very singing and playing.
The Band prays that as long as the Lord will give them breath, they will continue to make music that will draw people’s attention to the God Who gave them their music and creativity, and that the life-saving message that “Jesus was born to set” men free, would be boldly proclaimed to their fans through Rock-and-Roll.
