Known for her lengthy tenure touring and busking
with beloved New Orleans jazz band Tuba Skinny,
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. Produced by John James Tourville (The
Deslondes), A Walk Around the Sun features 11 all-original songs exploring the gray areas
between love and loss, joy and grief, longing and contentment. Though her songwriting
shines brightly, it’s never at the cost of melody or arrangement; complete with sweeping
strings, pedal steel, and even the occasional fuzz of a psych-rock guitar solo, Lewis’ voice
soars with emotion and texture throughout. Beautifully balanced, adroitly performed, and
masterfully produced, A Walk Around the Sun brings Lewis’ solo work out from the wings
to center stage, beneath a spotlight nearly impossible to ignore.
