JOE LEWIS BAND - UP NEXT (ALBUM)
CONTEMPORARY BLUES
LABEL: SELF
RELEASE DATE: FEBRUARY 26, 2021
Growing up in Picayune Mississippi, only an hour north of New Orleans, the cradle of American music, Joe Lewis certainly heard every kind of music where the lines between genres are thin and the roots of each genre intertwine as they grow. That line has always been blurred between blues and gospel, two genres that are considered the source of all modern music. As a gifted musician the choice to play electric guitar and sing words of praise is not a new thing;
Sister Rosetta Tharpe pioneered the genre in the early 50’s. However, the Joe Lewis Band is a
trailblazer in Contemporary Christian Blues music.
