Erika Lewis and Steven Paris at the Birdman

Prolific songwriter and singer Erika Lewis has been churning out American originals all her own for the past several years. From classic country to cosmic Americana to dreamy indie folk, Lewis continues to dip her toes more deeply into an ever-expanding pool of roots music styles. Her new record A Walk Around the Sun, is a testament to Lewis’ songwriting prowess and exceptional vocal ability. Though her songwriting shines brightly, it’s never at the cost of melody or arrangement; Lewis’s voice soars with emotion and texture throughout. On this tourstop at the Birdman, she is joined by her pal Steven Paris all the way from Italy—the harmonies and dimension added from his accompaniment as well as his own beautifully crafted originals promise a most enchanting sound and show. 7 pm. $20 at eventbrite.com.
