A tight, straight-ahead trio of piano, drums, and sax delivers a stunningly “full-on” sound, as Veronica belts out a message made to heal the soul. Her strong, expressive voice is punctuated with a light and delicate vibrato, belying her age. This Indie American piano player, singer, and songwriter puts a truly modern spin on the Roots of American Music.
Call it Roots, call it Blues, call it what you will - It’s 100% Veronica Lewis.
Veronica, a prolific songwriter with Blues progressions as a launching point, writes original songs with stories that are both thought-provoking and humorous. Her inspiration comes from a mix of musical genres and eras, ranging from Katie Webster, Otis Spann, and Dr. John all the way to Freddie Mercury and Avril Lavigne. Veronica fuses these crucial elements together with the true language of the Blues, and the energy of the early rock and rollers, like Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis to create a truly individual style that is completely Veronica Lewis.
Veronica is turning the heads of audiences and industry insiders alike. She’s garnered such prestigious awards as Sean Costello Rising Star – 2021 Blues Blast Music Awards, Best New Artist Debut – 2021 Blues Blast Music Awards, Blues Artist of the Year 2020, Boston Music Awards, 2020’s Boston Blues Challenge Winner, 2020’s Best Young Artist, New England Music Hall of Fame.
