Lewis & Leigh Announce 'Missing Years' EP

Lewis & Leigh are delighted to announce the release of their second EP, Missing Years​. They’ve teamed up once again with Matt Ingram & Dan Cox at Urchin Studios - the team behind Laura Marling’s forthcoming ​album, Short Movie​. The EP showcases a darker side to the duo’s work and features a take on Coldplay’s ‘Spies.’ 

The roots of Lewis & Leigh stretch from the Deep South all the way over to the Welsh coast​. Drawing on the rich heritage of these two musical hotbeds, Al Lewis ​and Alva Leigh create a unique blend of Celtic folk and Americana​. In early 2014, Al & Alva began writing songs together with no plan in mind. They quickly bonded over their love of Whiskeytown, Gillian Welch, and The Band. Within weeks, these Americana-tinged folk songs tumbled out to form a life of their own, and suddenly Lewis & Leigh ​was born. "What Is There To Do," the lead single from their debut EP Night Drives spent four weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. In July they opened for Grammy-nominated songwriter John Fullbright​. This year they’ve already been busy, performing at the Celtic Connections Festival ​in Glasgow. They also sold out Camden’s famous folk/roots club Green Note​. In March, Lewis & Leigh performed at The O2 as part of Country 2 Country​, Europe’s largest country music showcase.
