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.
Do you play live?
Son performs with his band or as a solo acoustic performer throughout the Northeast US. His reputation has been built upon solid live solo performances and with his own SON LEWIS BluesBand, which has featured members of MINK DEVILLE, THE POPPA CHUBBY BAND, THE RICKI LEE JONES BAND, THE JITTERZ, EXUMA, IMPACT, THE SHOTS, and CASTLE BROWNE.
Your influences?
Son began playing Blues guitar in the 1960’s, influenced greatly by artists as diverse as Robert Johnson, Otis Rush, and Elmore James. His own particular guitar style developed under the guidance of Blues guitarist Danny Kalb (founder of the Blues Project, a seminal Bluesband of the 1960's).
Favorite spot?
