On September 9, Linda Gail Lewis brings her high octane show to the Odeon’s stage. A gifted pianist and singer, she is an in-demand performer in the U.S., U.K. and Europe with a steady stream of albums highlighting her rollicking piano and impassioned vocals. Raised on rock'n'roll pumping piano and country, Linda Gail is well versed in rockabilly and first-era rock & roll, vintage country, boogie-woogie, and Southern gospel.
Linda Gail is part of a musical royal family -- her older brother is the late rock & roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis, and the late country star Mickey Gilley and gospel artist Jimmy Swaggert are her cousins. The youngest of four siblings, Linda Gail soaked up many of the same country, boogie-woogie, and gospel influences as her brother and dreamed of having a career in music. Guided by Jerry Lee, she launched a career as singer in the early '60s, cutting records with him and singing with his road band. But it was in 1988 that Linda Gail truly stepped out on her own and began wowing fans of vintage roots rock with her own piano prowess. After cutting a handful of albums for small labels, Linda Gail stepped into the spotlight with 2000's You Win Again, an album she recorded in collaboration with Van Morrison. In 2016, Linda Gail recorded Hard Rockin’ Woman! for the rockabilly specialist label Lanark Records and she teamed up with songwriter and vocalist Robbie Fulks for a 2018 duo album, Wild! Wild! Wild!, a high-spirited set that included several numbers written to order by Fulks for Lewis.
