From Promoter: Acknowledged as a prodigy, pianist, singer, and prolific songwriter as a teen. Veronica’s journey is as unique as her sound. Growing up in a dichotomous blend of both rural isolation and the spotlights of national blues & roots stages, Veronica began her musical career at the age of 12, hitting stages and snagging awards for her early efforts. Named ‘Best Blues Act’ in 2021 by the Boston Music Awards. At age 17, Veronica released her DIY album, You Ain’t Unlucky, on Blue Heart Records, which received industry-wide acclaim, soaring to #2 on the Billboard Blues charts and #1 on iTunes Blues chart. The title track secured the #1 ‘Blues Song of The Year 2021’ on Root Music Report, while earning two Blues Music Nominations in 2022 for ‘Best Emerging Artist Album’ and ‘Piano Player of the Year’. Additionally, Veronica won the ‘Sean Costello Rising Star’ and ‘Best New Artist Debut Album’ at the BluesBlast Awards.
Veronica’s journey is not just about music; it’s a journey of resilience. A bonafide nerd in school, she held the titles of both captain of the robotics team and was valedictorian. However, behind the professional and academic achievements lies a profound artist grappling with social awkwardness, body image issues, personal non-conformance and anxiety, channeling these struggles into her music with an authenticity that resonates deeply.
Veronica Lewis, with her soulful voice and authentic songwriting, crafts a compelling narrative on Too Late for Tears, inviting listeners to connect with the shared experiences of loss, empowerment, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery.
