Black Joe Lewis

It’s such fun to see Black Joe Lewis do what he does best, in the form of what sounds like a sort of sloppy garage rock with a prominent blues influence. One of the things that I can immediately gauge is that he is such a fantastic musician with so much stage presence and soul when he performs. His voice is a very high tenor voice with a lot of grit, and his band that accompany him are absolutely fantastic. Drums, bass guitar, a baritone saxophone and extra percussion back him in this live performance “Skulldiggin” is his first song this evening which has a baritone saxophone solo and a guitar solo played at the same time. Lewis’ guitar tone is definitely something a little bit different to what I’ve heard before, sounding something along the lines of a Jack White kind of tone. “Dar es Salaam” massively brings the funk to the table, making anyone and everyone dance. It’s a live show that you just don’t want to miss, with these relatively strong songs.

Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears are incredible. One of the best guitar players on the planet, just a transcendent experience.
It doesn't hurt that he's a total babe, too.
