Two Tickets Front Row Center


Willow Productions presents Zoe Lewis in concert on Saturday, November 7th at 8pm at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 4501 Walnut, Kansas City MO.


Originally from England, Zoë now resides in Provincetown, Cape Cod. She plays jazz, jump jive, latin grooves, swing, international folk, funk originals on anything from the piano to the spoons! She describes her blend of music as WORLDBEAT-VAUDEVILLE.

Together, they built up their traditional Irish music skills on Irish flute and guitar in the Chicago sessions (learning from John Williams, Liz Carroll, Brendan McKinney, Denis Cahill, and Kevin Henry). When they began bringing in singing, they focused on their favorite aspects of both Irish and American traditions, ending up with new songs that sound traditional, alongside centuries-old ballads with fresh new melodies.

Her music is upbeat, amusing and perfect for all ages. She's part troubadour, storyteller and accomplished musician and has toured internationally, picking up influences along the way. While at once setting listeners off balance with her quirky spin on things she sneaks in simple, potent messages, leaving audiences worn out and inspired.



"Probably the most charismatic performance I've ever seen."

- Alan Rowath


"A true artist.She is blessed with the uncanny ablility to uncover the extraorinary beauty in the seemingly ordinary."
- BAY WINDOWS, MA.
