More About Me

Wanamaker Lewis has been playing some kind of American roots music-Folk, Bluegrass(5-string banjo), Fingerstyle guitar and lately Electric Blues for over 30 years.
He was a member of Bluegrass legend John Herald's band and later led the Philadelphia based bluegrass band the Lewis Brothers and the guitar oriented Wanamaker Lewis Trio for much of the 1980's, 90's and into 2011



"Wanamaker Lewis has to be the best picker to come out of Philadelphia in ages. His guitar work is always top notch and the extreme talent and musical excitement he displays on stage is legendary. No doubt about it---Wanamaker Lewis is a master player and vibrant band leader from swing to blues !"
Gene Shay WXPN, Folk Alley, Sirius XM Satellite Radio , MC Philadelphia Folk Festival
