Mixing diverse sounds such as Folk, Alt Country, Psychedelic Rock, Punk, Gypsy music, and more- Daniel Lewis has been performing across America since 1995. Having started out in 90s Chicago Punk bands Secret Agent Bill and Headless Honchos, Daniel has developed his songwriting style over time into a more Roots-driven style, while never forgetting his past as a patches n pins covered kid who discovered Hank Williams one day and never looked back.
Lewis’ current live band, The Extended Family, focuses on raw, electric Rock N Roll energy, with songs revolved around storytelling and plenty of white hot guitar solos.
Daniel Lewis has shared the stage with such Roots artists as Unknown Hinson, Sean K Preston & The Loaded Pistols, Jason & The Punknecks, Zander Schloss, The Tossers, Jason Loveall, and plenty of various other groups outside of the Roots scene including Rise Against, AFI, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Murphy’s Law, Naked Raygun, 7 Seconds, Misfits, etc.
In January 2018, Daniel released his first full length album, a compilation of various full band electric and solo acoustic material. Included on the record are guest appearances by Grammy and Oscar winning performer Rhymefest, as well as guitar wizard Mark “Spiv” Grzelak of Simple Simon.
A new EP entitled “Beyond The Gates” – the first release featuring The Extended Family- will be released in Spring 2019.
