Son Lewis
- Music Department
Son Lewis has been an active figure on the Blues music scene for some
time. His work as a modern day exponent of the Blues, and R&B, has led
him to recognition as a performer and recording artist. Son was
influenced greatly by artists such as Robert Johnson, Otis Rush, and
Hubert Sumlin (who he had the pleasure of accompanying in December
2006). His own particular guitar style developed under the guidance of
Blues guitarist Danny Kalb (founder of the Blues Project, a seminal
Blues band of the 1960's). Lewis' reputation has been built upon
well-crafted recordings and solid live solo performances and with his
own Son Lewis Blues Band.
As a solo artist, performing the traditional country Blues, and with his band, rocking juke joints with electric blues, Son has become known as a faithful, and loving interpreter of this nearly lost musical art form. In live performance, TV, radio, and on recordings, Son Lewis has proved to audiences everywhere that the Blues is a vibrant and exciting form of musical entertainment!
