notes

ZOE LEWIS was born and brought up in the little fishing village of Rottingdean on the south coast of England.

She started playing piano at the age of 4,discovered JAZZ and moved to LONDON at the age of 18 and played in a variety of bands exploring all sorts of musical styles.

She was keyboard player in the LATIN-JAZZ-POP group AVANTI for 3 years,toured the country and also established residencies in many LONDON pubs playing and singing COLE PORTER and GERSHWIN tunes into the wee hours.

At 23 she started travelling the world picking up musical grooves wherever she landed.

She picked up the guitar and started writing songs and had her first originals show to a packed house in SAN FRANCISCO in 1990.

Since then she has continued writing, performing and travelling around the globe.She has released 5 recordings and has made her home in PROVINCETOWN, CAPE COD, where she performs every summer to the tourists with her 4 piece band ZOE LEWIS AND HER RUBBER BAND.

The band plays a hi-energy set on a bunch of weird and wonderful instruments.ZOE tickles the ivories but can also be heard on guitar, harmonica, ukulele, accordion, penny whistle and even kazoo! KATE WOLF from Seattle performs on a one-string bass made of a steel pole for the neck and a cardboard body.

she makes it sing! SYLVIE RICHARD from Quebec City plays percussion and buckets and ROXANNE LAYTON, who also performs with MANHEIM STEAMROLLER, rocks the house with her jazz and latin solos played on and assortment of wooden recorders! ZOE was recently voted audience favourite at the FALCONRIDGE FOLK FESTIVAL SINGER-SONGWRITER SHOWCASE and was a finalist at the ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOLKS FESTIVAL summer 2001.

Her latest recording FISHBONE,WISHBONE,FUNNYBONE is receiving rave reviews and features special guest performances by JULIE WOLF from the ANI DIFRANCO band and ERIKA LUCKETT.

She describes her music as WORLDBEAT-VAUDEVILLE.There's really nothing else very much like it around.

It's a lot of fun.

It'll make you want to tap your feet a little,maybe jump on a freight boat or camel and to notice the quirkier things in this world!

    I'd heard some of the tunes on this album at a friends party in Brighton, and ended up dancing to it with maracas! Its fantastic, and cheers me up whenever I listen to it.

  • great album--fun and witty!
    author: rosemary

    I picked up a batch of about 4 cds--all good--from cdbaby about a week ago, and this is the one I keep coming back to. The music is catchy, fun, and upbeat--and the lyrics are often fantastically witty. The album doesn't really fall into any easily definted genre, though if you like quirky pop (along the lines of 'of montreal') or would enjoy a more laid back, female (and funnier) ben folds five, you'll enjoy it!
