Linda Gail Lewis

Linda Gail Lewis is part of a musical royal family -- her older brother was rock & roll icon Jerry Lee Lewis, and country star Mickey Gilley and gospel artist Jimmy Swaggart were her cousins. While it took Linda Gail a while to gain an audience of her own, she was a gifted pianist and singer in her own right, well versed in rockabilly and first-era rock & roll, vintage country, boogie-woogie, and Southern gospel. After cutting a handful of albums for small labels, she stepped into the spotlight with 2000's You Win Again, recorded in collaboration with Van Morrison. Since then, Linda Gail has released a steady stream of albums highlighting her rollicking piano and impassioned vocals, including 2018's Wild! Wild! Wild!, a collaboration with alt-country maverick Robbie Fulks, and 2023's A Tribute to Jerry Lee Lewis, in which she interpreted 18 of her brother's best-known songs.
