“It's a real treat . . . tight chunky grooves and very exciting and funky sax . . . this is an absolute breath of fresh air . . . Dave Lewis sets a standard of powerful, fiery solos that will be hard to surpass this year. More please!" Blues and Soul
American saxophonist Dave Lewis leads 1UP with raw lyrical emotion and a horn full of funk and his sound is perfectly matched by the soulful intensity and searing blues vocals of Lizzie Deane. The band lays down the deepest grooves with space for virtuosic improvisation and breath-taking interplay.
Dave Lewis' robust and melodic tenor playing has been heard with a notable list of artists including John Martyn, Bryan Ferry, Joan Armatrading, John Mayall, Eric Clapton and The Blockheads. The 1UP band features an impressive array of talent fronted by vocalist Lizzie Deane, a fabulous singer who for many years has worked with some of the finest performers around including Carleen Anderson, Mica Paris and Jocelyn Brown. Lizzie's warm persona and infectious performance style calls to mind the great soul divas such as Arethra Franklin and Dusty Springfield, but at the same time she brings her own unique energy and approach to every song...
