Groupe
Bluegrass US formé en 1951.
With a
distinctive sound marked by the blazing (and often hilariously comic) banjo
theatrics of Little Roy Lewis, a big bass fiddle, and robust harmonies from a
contingent of identically dressed Lewis daughters, the Lewis Family has remained
an institution of Georgia music and of the bluegrass festival scene for several
decades. The "First Family of Bluegrass Gospel" got its start, in a way, when
Roy Lewis, Sr., known as "Pop," used a ladder to spirit 15-year-old Pauline
Holloway ("Mom" Lewis, who died in 2002) away from her house and to an elopement
in McCormick, SC, in 1925. In the late '40s they joined with four of their eight
children to form a family singing group, taking the name the Lewis Family for a
gospel performance at a Woodmen of the World meeting in 1951. That year they
made their first recordings on the small Sullivan label, and by 1957 they were
recording for Starday. The family was influenced by the gospel quartet harmonies
of the Chuck Wagon Gang and by
the big-beat gospel of
Martha Carson, but their sound and shows were distinctive from the start. In
1954 the Lewis Family began appearing on a weekly television show in Augusta,
GA, near their hometown of Lincolnton; it ran until 1992. The family's live
performances likewise had a durable consistency; through about 60 album releases
on Starday, Canaan, Riverson, and Daywind, their sound remained largely
unchanged. They began touring full time in the early '60s.
By the end of the 20th century the Lewis Family played roughly 200 shows a year,
appearing at annual Southern gospel events such as the Albert E. Brumley
Memorial Singing in Springdale, AR, as well as at bluegrass festivals far and
wide. Their shows, marked by cornball humor and stage razzle-dazzle along with a
gospel message, offer a unique window on the musical past in their traveling
family-group setup. Although the group operates in a sphere separate from the
bluegrass mainstream, Little Roy Lewis is recognized as one of the top masters
of the five-string banjo in bluegrass. For sheer speed on the fretboard he is
unmatched. Daughters Miggie, Polly, and Janis Lewis joined the group gradually
in the 1960s and 1970s as several brothers dropped out to pursue business
careers, and their harmony singing anchors many of the family's songs; a third
generation of Lewis musicians has taken the stage increasingly often in recent
years. Many Lewis Family members are talented multi-instrumentalists, and the
group plays several upbeat numbers, including "The Good Time Get Together," that
are structured so as to allow multiple virtuoso solos on various instruments,
sometimes including such novelties as an autoharp. Their repertoire,
particularly heavy on the works of bluegrass songwriter Randall Hylton, also
contains numerous traditional pieces and unique songs from a network of local
Georgia musicians little heard elsewhere. the Lewis Family hosts an annual
festival of its own, the Lewis Family Homecoming & Bluegrass Festival, in
Lincolnton. They were inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame in 1992 and
have won several Dove awards.

Singer/comic/musician
Little Roy Lewis was an integral part of
the
Lewis Family bluegrass-gospel band. Born and raised the youngest member of a
large family in Lincolnton, Georgia, Lewis began playing banjo at age six and
won his first talent contest at age eight. When he was nine, "Little Roy" joined
the family band after his older brother Esley entered the Army. In 1954, the
Lewis clan began performing regularly on WJBF-TV Augusta. Little Roy appeared on
all of his family's albums, but he also cut a few banjo records of his own,
beginning with an EP on Starday in the early '60s. In 1968, he recorded his
first full-length album, Golden Gospel Banjo. Lewis was a popular member of his
family band and was known for offering lively chatter and comical sound effects
during such songs as "Honey in the Rock."
