Tommy Lewis (Houston) 8:00 pm

Tommy Lewis does a lot, and he does it all well. The sought-after songwriter, producer, guitarist, and poet has worked with and learned from the best. His brand of jazz influenced country breathes new life into the genre and evokes the fiery spirit of mid-century America. Equally influenced by the Beats, Hemingway, and Dylan Thomas as by Williams, Dylan, and Kristofferson, Tommy's music lies at the heart of the creative revolution in Americana music.

"Tommy's command of the language, the words he chooses and the way he assembles them, has really inspired me to look twice at my own lyrics. Musically, I don't feel like I have enough time left to catch up. Here's the future of the singer/songwriter genre." - John "Tex" Renner, Singer-Songwriter

"[I met Tommy in Nashville], though he's most definitely Texan, and a true testament to the quality of poetry, artistry and performance that continues to blossom in the Lone Star State." - Rob Ellen, Medicine Show Records
