Veronica Lewis is one of the most exciting, emerging talents in the Indie Roots world. Bending genres from the Bayou to the north country, Lewis combines the true language of the Blues with the energy of early rock ‘n rollers. A teenage prodigy, piano player, singer & prolific songwriter who is ”changing the game and upping the ante”, says American Blues Scene.
With the release of her critically acclaimed, Chart-topping, debut album “You Ain’t Unlucky”, 18-year-old Veronica Lewis, is poised to bring new generations back under that big old revival tent that is Blues and Roots rock and roll. A mesmerizing live performer with serious piano chops, soaring vocals, and trailblazing original songs, Veronica gives her audience “every last drop, every single time”.
“You Ain’t Unlucky” blasted Veronica Lewis’ career off to a mind-blowing start, debuting at Number #2 on the Billboard Blues charts, #1 on iTunes Blues chart, and landing the title Track ‘You Ain’t Unlucky’ as the Number #1 Blues Song of The Year 2021 (Root Music Report), and snagging two Blues Music Nominations in 2022 for Best Emerging Artist Album & Piano Player of the Year. Among her other awards are Sean Costello Rising Star – 2021 Blues Blast Music Awards, Best New Artist Debut Album – 2021 Blues Blast Music and Blues Artist of the Year - 2020 Boston Music Awards.
Although Veronica only graduated high school in 2021, she is already an acknowledged seasoned professional, rocking the keys and electrifying audiences with rhythmically complex and challenging compositions and nuclear-charged live performances. Her band is a tight, straight-ahead 4 piece with piano, drums, guitar and sax that delivers a stunningly “full-on” sound. Veronica belts out a message made to heal the soul. Her strong, expressive voice is punctuated with a light and delicate vibrato, containing the pain and wisdom of the ages.
