Trained as an opera singer and classical pianist, Georgia native Lilli Lewis has been a composer, producer and performer for over two decades. Fresh off the stage at this year's Jazz Fest, Lilli is well versed in folk, roots, country soul, gospel, and jazz. Having a prodigious ear early on, the practice of music was a way for her to mend early childhood trauma as well as congeal the different hemispheres of her mind. Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds were enough of an inspiration to her to quit her job, leave town, and pursue her career in music. She has always been a multi-genre writer, finding it difficult to identify with any one in particular. Listen in as we laugh and explore the thoughts of the beautiful Lilli Lewis.
