It isn't a place where you are likely to get bored. Zoe Lewis is an entertainer in the truest sense of the word. Zoe sees her job as a musician not as a job but a means to see the world and have some fun doing it. "I love the feeling of going and feeling free to take off and travel," said Zoe. She is having the time of her life making music. Zoe likes to get people involved with her music. "You gotta have fun," said Zoe. She likes to put on a show and give everyone a good time. Zoe frequently performs with flute player Roxanne Layton of Manheim Steamroller or a band she calls The Rubber band Band. "It's important not to take oneself to seriously," says Zoe. Zoe Lewis follows the lines from one of her songs and "lives like I die today."
Zoe's music is fun. Zoe's songs are about everyday things. "Its important to write about what you know, your surroundings," said Zoe; like her present home of Providencetown, her native land of England, or family. That is why many of Zoe's songs have a water theme to them. She was born on one side of the Atlantic Ocean near Brighton and now lives on the other side in Massachusetts. "I can't not be by the water," says Zoe. For Zoe the water represents freedom. Armed with her Victrola and 78's Zoe loves to go down to the beach in her home of Provincetown to dance, listen, and dream. One of her most prized possessions is a 78rpm record of Marilyn Monroe singing Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend. Zoe doesn't own a television set.
As a child Zoe could stand on the shore and see France if the weather was just right. France the home of childhood hero Jacques Cousteau. Zoe remembers wanting to be the next Cousteau. Instead she wrote a song about it and travels the world searching for musical treasures and having the time of her life doing it.
Zoe carries a journal with her where she jots down thoughts and observations. It is from these journals that her songs come to life. A concept becomes a song. Every song has a story. Music and lyrics are written together as one.
Zoe Lewis has fun on stage and she wants her audience to have fun as well.
