Dyck Arboretum’s next Prairie Window Concert is at 3:30 p.m Sunday featuring Zoe Lewis.
Lewis plays jazz, jump jive, latin grooves, swing, and international folk on anything from the piano to the spoons.
Tickets are by reservation only by calling (620) 327-8127. Proceeds from the soup supper served between sets will help the arboretum pay for vandalism damage from this past summer.
Lewis was the winner of the Colorado Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Troubadour Award in 2003 and New Folk Winner in 2002 at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas.
Lewis has performed with Judi Collins and Nancy Griffith. Her song “Small is Tremendous” received much commercial success and can be heard on ads for Mini Pringles and TJ Maax.
Originally from England, she now resides in Provincetown on Cape Cod, Mass.
She’s traveled all over the globe picking up worldbeat grooves and stories on the way; jumping box cars, riding on freight boats and has even played music with an elephant orchestra in Thailand.
In 1990, she arrived in the United States and began performing originals on guitar, piano, harmonica, ukulele, penny whistle, accordion, and human trumpet.
She has taught workshops in schools and has written a musical for children entitled “Pests!”
Performing upbeat and edgy tunes on a variety of weird instruments, telling traveling tales that’ll take you from England to New Orleans by way of Bangkok and Guatemala, Lewis bends the notes and stretches the imagination, a news release said.
