Lewis has performed at various festivals with his solo project including Glastonbury, Belladrum, Otherlands and Connect. He has been championed by various BBC Radio Scotland shows, the Zoe Ball breakfast show, and has appeared on TV as part of BBC 2’s coverage of Glastonbury 2022.
He has been featured by the likes of NME and Rolling Stone UK. He recently performed a live set on BBC Scotland for The Quay Sessions with Roddy Hart as part of Celtic Connections after a sold out show at the CCA in Glasgow.
