After getting forced to quit being a drummer in a high school hardcore band by his parents for fear of it being a “bad influence,” Jake Lewis found salvation in learning to play the guitar and making music on his own. Now, backed by his band The Clergy, the singer-songwriter has found a home, and just released his first album with the group last month entitled Gossip. You’ll have the opportunity to hear Jake Lewis & The Clergy perform tunes from their debut this evening in the Victorian Dining Room at the North Star Bar for its weekly acoustic series, but first, check out our Featured Artist(s) Poll Winner interview with Lewis HERE.
