Classically trained, award-winning singer/songwriter Lilli Lewis began composing at the age of three. Opening for Alana Davis, Dr. John, Kirk Joseph, Kermit Ruffins, Henry Butler and Jon Cleary to name a few, the social justice themes and human rights messages that filter into her lyrics, as well as her gospel-tinged vocals and instrumentation are a direct result from her upbringing spent listening to her father’s sermons and southern choirs while learning the northern sensibilities of her civil rights activist mother. Equal parts unassuming and fearless, her band The Lilli Lewis Project (or LLP) is a stirring rhythm and soul orchestra of depth, girth and decibels that delivers innovative, soulful music that will never go out of style.
