New Orleans Folk Rock Diva Lilli Lewis Announces Fall Tour with a Stop in LG

New Orleans Folk Rock Diva Lilli Lewis announces fall tour schedule Nov. 5-19. The tour is in support of her current record release “Americana.”

Concert appearances will take her to Texas, with her trio, Wade Hymel on drums, who played on the album, and Robin Sherman on bass with solo dates in New Mexico, California, Nevada and Oregon.

Her fall tour schedule will include a stop on Nov. 5 at 8 p.m. at the Bugle Boy in La Grange as well as Nov. 6 at First Presbyterian Church of La Grange at 10:30 a.m. “Americana” was released late last year and returned her to her folk, soul and country roots. As a classically trained singer and pianist critics praised her third full length release on Louisiana Red Hot Records as … “each song feels more exciting than the last.” Glide Magazine. “…she sings marvelously, with a pleading soprano that can dip to a throaty, chest tone.” Music Row. “…she lays claim to a broad range of American musical styles and stories.” Country Queer. “Bold American storyteller.” Top 10 Albums of the Week-NPR All Songs Considered.
