Giveaway: Black Joe Lewis at Emo's Friday [With Lucero]

Black Joe Lewis and the Honeybears have quickly become a favorite, dynamite-packed act in Austin. Their bluesy instrumentals and funky lyrics typically attract a wide crowd of far-reaching musical tastes, and we expect nothing less at their show this Friday at Emo’s. What started as a last-ditch effort for Lewis has sky-rocketed into a career that has the potential to outlast many others. Honeybear Zach Ernst had to all but plead Joe to give one more effort at forming a band a few years back, but once they emerged and played some gigs, fans discovered Lewis’ unique sound and his popularity spread like a wildfire.

Citing influences such as James Brown and Don Covay, the band has found a way to tastefully bring the simple sounds of the past to today’s technology ridden and overly synthesized audience. Lewis’ scanty screams deliver raw emotion along with the desire to let loose. Black Joe and his Honeybears are no stranger to Emo’s and are bound to rock the home field advantage.
