The Alec Lewis Group at The Glove Theatre
The 518 Concert series has a treat for you ? The Alec Lewis Group! The ALG sports a fresh mix of contemporary funk influences from Cory Wong to Kruangbin, fused with guitar-driven classic rock and blues elements drawn from the likes of Dire Straits and David Gilmour, all topped with a modern pop sensibility and vocal stylings that firmly root the group and its sonic blueprint in our modern musical DNA. According to front man, Alec Lewis in a recent An Xperience Interview ? by Liam Sweeny: ?Our influences are fairly specific. And I frequently reference these influences as a sort of north star for our band while writing new material. I find that this helps maintain a consistency across our music and gives our repertoire a succinct and identifiable blueprint. I have three main inspirations musically for this band: Cory Wong and the Vulfpeck universe, Dire Straits, and Steely Dan (likely in that order). I believe our music certainly is an extension of these artists. We have high energy funk grooves inspired by Cory Wong, Vulpeck and The Fearless Flyers. We have mid tempo, minor key bluesy tunes that I aim to remind people of Mark Knopfler with his kind of finger picking style. And I think the Steely Dan influence is not so direct in our music, sonically, but I don?t think people are surprised by the fact that Steely Dan is one of my favorite bands. We are a relatively new band, having played our very first show in February 2024. And we are releasing our first studio project very soon on 2/7/2025. It will be a four song EP titled Don?t Cross Me. Being a sound engineer myself, I take recording very seriously. I have music under my own name as a ?solo artist,? this will be the first official release of The Alec Lewis Group as a band and separate project. And rightfully so this was a big group effort. Drums recorded at The Jive Hive and built up from there at my home studio. Myself and Noah worked throughout the summer and fall of this year honing in the guitar and bass parts. It is a guitar record. It is tight. It is punchy and catchy. It?s sarcastic and quirky. It?s fun and I think you?ll agree, so please give us listen come 2/7 and search for The Alec Lewis Group wherever you stream your music.? All ages welcome! Age 21+ to drink adult beverages.
