“A potent, whiskey-tinged blend of tasteful jazz, niche rhythm and blues, and sharp injections of ’50s-indebted rock and roll. Lewis’ music hits a transatlantic sweet spot; think the raucous R&B of JJ Cale combined with the jazzy inflections of Van Morrison. His guitar work is nimble and unconventional, while his voice, a potent mix of honey and concrete.” – Louder Than War
“Captivated by Damian’s musical metamorphosis, as he flawlessly covers JJ Cale’s timeless classic ‘After Midnight’ in his debut album Mission Creep” – JJ Cale’s Official Instagram page
“An absolute belting set of variety, strong songwriting and class musicianship, and a sea of grinning faces” – Brighton and Hove News
“A Rocking Good Night with Damian Lewis” – Southend Theatre Scene
“If Mr Lewis ever gets fed up with his day job, there is definitely an open door to go full time as a music star.” – Music Republic Magazine
