Lewis & Royal
Saturday, April 24, 2027
Hey there, we're Lewis & Royal. A couple of down-to-earth prairie boys with a passion for acoustic music and a knack for making folks smile.
We kicked off this musical journey back in '93, and from the moment we met, it was like our voices were meant to harmonize together. Our first big project, the musical CHICKENS, was a blast—a mix of blues, bluegrass, and old-time rock that folks couldn't get enough of.
Since then, we've been hitting the road, playing gigs at community halls, rodeos, fundraisers—you name it, we've probably played there. And yeah, we've had some cool moments, like sharing our tunes at the Jack Singer Concert Hall and the Saddledome in Calgary. 
But what really gets us going is the connection we make with our audience. We're all about keeping it real, having a laugh, and making sure everyone feels like part of the show. That's why our gigs are never the same twice—we love to riff off each other, crack jokes, and just go with the flow. 
So if you're up for a good time and some toe-tapping tunes, come hang with us. We promise, you'll leave with a smile on your face and a song in your heart.
