Folk All Y'all: An Evening with Lilli Lewis

Lilli Lewis is having a breakout year, including a Kennedy Center performance that the Center describes as powerful. Lewis has composed in every tradition that inspires her, including soul, Americana, hip hop, classical, folk, jazz, rock, gospel, blues, soul and R&B. She integrated elements of New Orleans funk while co-writing and co-producing Mask Up in the summer of 2020. After carving out space for herself as an African-American lesbian of size, Lewis has lent her voice to the inclusion and equity in the music industry by speaking in conferences and seminars for Americana Music Association and Folk Alliance International in her role as VP & Head of A&R at Louisiana Red Hot Records. And shes further sharing her message in the music of her eagerly awaited Americana album, following 2019s critically acclaimed We Belong. In all things, Lewis does her best to live by the creed she and her ensemble have become known for: Practice Radical Decency.
