Holly Ann Lewis - Singer-Songwriter
Holly Ann Lewis comes from a musical family and is a California native. She is an award-winning songwriter and performer, powerful vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and dynamic guitar player. Her music is a combination of many genres such as Americana, Jazz, Folk, Blues and Rock. She started singing and playing guitar at an early age and recorded her first album at age 15 with bay area band, Bob Culbertson & African Rain, and Grammy Award winner, Babatunde Olatunji (1927-2003). She released her first full-length, all original album at 21 years old. After releasing her first album in 1995, Holly traveled the country and ended up living in Seattle, WA for several years. There she performed at local venues, recorded her music, appeared on Seattle's TV show, "Gimme the Mic!," and was involved in other musical projects with musicians from all over the world.
Holly has recorded, shared the stage, and performed with Grammy award winning artists such as, Robby Krieger (The Doors), Matt Cameron (drummer for Pearl Jam & Soundgarden), Mickey Hart (The Grateful Dead) Bruce Langhorne (Tambourine Man) and Scott Mercado (drummer from Candlebox.) In 2008 she was asked to join a group of musicians in Seattle (Bergevin Brothers, gospel singer Pat Wright) to record a music video in support of Barack Obama’s campaign. Gaining national attention, ended up going all the way to the White House.
Holly has independently released two full length albums and two singles of her original works. Most recently she released a single called, “Simplify,” with her duo, “Lewis & Rose.” Their single won a New Times Music Award, in the Country/Americana/Folk category.
