The Burner Band
The Burner Band bridge the gap between bluegrass, country and rock n roll. The new self titled album boasts a possible world first: a bluegrass song denouncing The Sun newspaper. The previous album ?Dark Wheels Turn Above Our Heads? was in 2020 and features 11 politically charged folk punk songs. In 2018, Lewis released his debut solo album Dog Songs?, featuring themes of recovery from depression and the tragedy of the Bradford Stadium fire. The band?s live performance is an energetic combination of guitar, banjo, double bass snare drum and vocal harmony.
