Album Notes

"Lilli Lewis, a chanteuse, a pianist with one of the widest hearts and deftest touches in songwriting I have ever heard...uniquley poignant and heartfelt..."
Tom Daley, poet , Cambridge, MA

Lilli Lewis grew up on a dirt road outside of Athens, Georgia. There, in between playing in her father's garden and going on scavenger hunts, Lilli developed a passion for classical piano at the early age of 3, marked by her frequent silent "air" performances (until the family acquired a piano) and a steady flow of compositions that had to be transcribed by her mother's hand.

Largely self-taught, she became an accomplished student of classical piano and vocal performance. Still she found herself just as enthralled by the independent spirit of the town's musical anti-elite, which led her down the path to discovering her truly unique voice.

Described as an "innovative, soulful" singer and composer, Lewis writes with elegant poise. As she sings, her versatile voice shows itself in one moment a pure and longing stratospheric pianissimo, the next a low and earthy rumble, dancing her across her range with arresting beauty and ease.


"Words don't do justice to the music Lilli Lewis creates- a true dichotomy of sound. Vocals that straddle the spectrum from Patti (as in Tuck &...) to Oleta Adams, and music that combines intricate jazz chords and syncopated rhythms most singers would need a month to master. Lewis is the light at the end of the tunnel ...innovative, soulful music [that] will never go out of style."
