Lilli Lewis skillfully uses her opera training and classical piano skills to create a unique polyglot sound, sliding effortlessly from folk to country to gospel to jazz. Her compositions echo her native Georgia and her chosen hometown of New Orleans; her album “Americana” was hailed as a top pick by Rolling Stone and NPR. 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.
