Waylon Jennings, and EmmyLou Harris on the radio, all of whom inspired the country, honky-tonk, and Americana influences in her own music.
Lewis released her second full-length album, Blizzard's Bluff, in April. The album focuses on Lewis' search for self-reflection in the wake of the loss of her second child, Luke, as she re-navigates her role as a wife and parent.
Chicago native Jonas Friddle is an Americana musician whose banjo driven compositions have received Song of the Year from The
John Lennon Songwriting Competition, First Place in the Great American Song Contest, and a nomination for Album of the Year in the Independent
