Gene Shay WXPN, Folk Alley, Sirius XM Satellite Radio , MC Philadelphia Folk Festival Here's what Lisa Rich of The Trenton Times wrote on May 25th 2012: When you see him on stage, you might as well call him master. Wanamaker Lewis is known as one of the most talented banjo players to come out of the tristate area. His level of skill goes beyond mastery into the ranks of the Jedi. Tomorrow night, he and his blues band are coming to Triumph Brewing Co. in New Hope, Pa. As a musician and songwriter, Lewis is versatile and varied. He leads his blues band, a bluegrass group and his newest project, which focuses on Gypsy swing and Americana. The tight four-piece band featured tomorrow has been around for more than a decade, and it shows. Attendees can expect high-energy, seductive rhythms, and a whole lot of soul with an ensemble of guitar, harmonica, bass and drums (Lewis is on guitar and vocals). The focus: not only arrangements of classic Chicago blues, but modern spins on the classics as well.
