Three and Four part Harmonies along with a rough edge that puts dancers on the floor. Whether it's club or concert, a good time will be had by all...!
We recently hired Son Lewis Band for a fundraiser at our synagogue. I can't say enough positive things about our experience. We were holding a Silent Auction with a crowd between the ages of 45 and 80, so music for the night was a challenge. Son Lewis Band was absolutely perfect. The guys were so sweet, accommodating, easy to work with and TALENTED! They kept the volume where we wanted it, and played music that appealed to everyone who attended. I received numerous compliments on my choice of music for this affair. Thank you Son Lewis Band! I will definitely be using you again!
Fun to watch/listen to.
Almost like a history lesson in blues/rhythm and blues/soul/rock and roll. Real nice music trio, play for a long time.
Strongly recommend for any music fan.
Response from The Son Lewis Band:
Wow....THANK YOU, Glenn... your kind words were both gracious and sincerely appreciated. We tend to play for a long time because we love what we do and the audience being so attentive and involved made it very easy for us to extend a bit... We are looking forward to possibly coming back as Library Concerts are becoming some of our favorite places to play!

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 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 Blues band of the 1960's). Lewis' reputation has been built upon solid live solo performances and with his own SON LEWIS Blues Band, which has featured former members of MINK DEVILLE, THE RICKI LEE JONES BAND, THE JITTERZ, EXUMA, IMPACT, THE SHOTS, and CASTLE BROWNE.
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! Following is a partial list of Son's accomplishments:
IN CONCERT: Opening for- John Hammond, Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers, Mose Allison, Rick Danko, Rick Derringer, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Elvin Bishop, The Nighthawks, Chris Rush, Johnny Copeland, Savoy Brown, Frankie Lee, The Manhatten Transfer
