Biography
The story starts sometime in the mid 1850's when his great-great-great grandfather was attacked by Indians going over a mountain pass in Colorado. He jumped in a river to escape. The story continues through the generations. A little luck and the spirit of adventure passed down making one lifetime seem like many. Lewis Childs has busked the streets of Europe, played in an Irish Folk Music combo, worked as the band leader of the local Brazilian band, Xevi Nova, performed with a high flying acrobatic music and dance ensemble headed by a Brazilian Master of Capoeira, and traveled to Japan with the World Music folk duo "World of Songs." He released his first full-length solo album, “Currents” in 2009. Oh, his great-grandma was a semi-professional whistler.

From humor to the heartfelt blues, his lyrics take you on a journey. His prose is illustrative and innovative, a combination of southern comfort and some bitter mystery, like Tom Waits with honey in the mix. Unlike anything else you will hear around, “Currents” has obvious influence from the blues and folk but also subtleties of Bossa and even Dixieland. While one song is lulling and hypnotic the next will tempt you to put on your dancin’ shoes!
