First Release By Newly-Formed Lewis Tradition Available Now

Hendersonville, TN (November 2, 2010) –Building on a rich history in Bluegrass music, members of the legendary Lewis Family have recently joined together to form Lewis Tradition.  Their debut release, entitled Precious Memories, will delight fans that have long enjoyed the music of the Lewis Family, while attracting new fans with this great new lineup of musicians and vocalists.
 Janis Lewis Phillips, the youngest daughter of “Mom” and “Pop” Lewis, joins her son, Lewis Phillips, and nephew, Travis Lewis, to create this new group, who first hit the stage in late 2009.  Travis’ oldest son, Jameson, soon joined them to complete the group that is featured on this release.  Jeff & Sheri Easter musicians, Jeff Easter, Madison Easter, and Kyle Calloway, lend their musical talents to help produce an album that includes both Bluegrass and Southern Gospel influences.  
 With the release of this new album, Lewis Tradition is thrilled to get back on the road and share music with an audience that has followed their family so faithfully in the past.  “We are so excited about our new CD, Precious Memories,” adds Lewis Phillips.  “It is a collection of new songs, as well as some old favorites, that we hope will be a rebirth of an old tradition.”
