Lilli Lewis

Black American Music Summit

Founder of the Black American Music Summit and recipient of Folk Alliance International’ Sprit of Folk Award, Lilli Lewis is a skillful Americana polyglot for whom folk, country, gospel and jazz become all one language. Whether she plays at the Kennedy Center, WWOZ’s Piano Night, or in a sweaty New Orleans club, Lewis imbues her performances with grace, wit, immense talent, and musical authenticity. With nods from NPR’s All Songs Considered and Rolling Stone Country’s “Songs You Need to Hear,” her latest release is "All Is Forgiven" on Righteous Babe Records.
