Biography: Al Lewis is a singer-songwriter from North Wales whose sound is reminiscent of the classic singer-songwriters of the 70's (Al Stewart, James Taylor), but is delivered with a modern twist akin to Damien Rice and Ryan Adams. A relative latecomer to music, it all began in earnest, back in 2007 when Al released his first two singles 'Waiting for You' and 'I'll be the Moon' and a Welsh language EP entitled 'Byw mewn Breuddwyd' all on his own label. In March that year Al co-wrote and performed the song 'Llosgi' (Burning) on the televised 'Song For Wales' competition, winning the songwriters category and coming second overall. Al would go on to perform slots at the 'Wakestock Festival' alongside Mark Ronson and at the inaugural 'Swn Festival' in Cardiff organised by Radio 1 DJ Huw Stephens. Now a regular face on the Welsh Language music scene, 2008 saw two further releases, 'Dilyn Pob Cam (EP)' & 'One Way Love Affair (EP)', gaining Al further exposure via plays on BBC 6 Music. In 2009 Al Lewis Band released their first Welsh Language album, spending several weeks at number one in the Welsh Language album charts. In the same year a new EP (Skin & Bones) in collaboration with fellow Welsh compatriot, Paper Aeroplanes' Sarah Howells, was released. The following year (2010) saw the release of Al's debut solo album 'In the Wake'. Gathering support and praise from eminent DJs such as Huw Stephens and Steve Lamacq, (who gave Al his first piece of nationwide airplay when he played 'Life on the Wire' on his BBC Radio 2 show during the summer), tracks from the album would go-on to be aired on several stations across the country. Later that year Al embarked on his first nationwide tour, in collaboration with fellow singer/songwriters Ben Montague and Lotte Mullan. This year has already seen Al being picked by Caffe Nero to be their 'Artist of the Month', performing in stores across the length and breadth of Britain during February and March. He was also personally invited by Cerys Matthews to support her at her sell-out show at the PJ Hall in Bangor, North Wales in April where they performed together on stage.
