19 year old Lewis has released two albums to date, Gambling Machine and Empty Roads. Gambling Machine won this the 'Best Jazz/Blues Recording' category at the 2012 Scottish New Music Awards, while I Got To Know from the album won a preliminary nomination in the British Blues Awards song writing category. Candlelight & Sympathy from Empty Roads will feature on the soundtrack of a new feature film 'Scar Tissue'.
Lewis has found himself sitting at or near the top of the UK ReverbNation blues charts for months now, and his name spreading fast around the UK music scene with features in Blues Matters and other music magazines. The band have been booked for over 300 shows from Farnham to Orkney and appeared at some of the UK's biggest blues festivals, including Hebden, Maryport and Shetland. Lewis has also appeared on stage with many top musicians including Henrik Freischlader, Ryan McGarvey and Alan Nimmo.
As a guitarist he pays tribute to some of the greatest musicians of the 20th century, taking influence from people like Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Rory Gallagher. He also incorporates playing styles from more modern blues-rock musicians such as, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks and Matt Scofield. As a vocalist he has developed his own unique and powerful style of singing, while taking influence from the likes of Sting, Joe Cocker and Dave Mathews.
Lewis also has talent for recording and runs his own studio in Auchterarder, Scotland, where all his music is written, recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Lewis himself.
