No seriously, you should meet him. Â “Charleston has been good to us in the past, but we haven’t met any ladies there yet,” says Joe Lewis. Â Ladies, I say we roll out the red carpet of Southern hospitality for the Black Joe Lewis crew when they roll into Charleston, September 9th for a show at the Pour House. Â This will be their return to Charleston after performing there as the opening act for Dawes. Â “You know, I’m always up to meet ladies, but it doesn’t make or break a show for me,” Lewis says.
So what does make or break a show? “It all depends on what type of crowd shows up,” says Lewis, “If you have a bunch of fun people show up, the show will be fun.” Â The band itself will always bring the party. Â They keep the show lively, and spend little time talking between songs. Â With tunes such as, “Come to My Party“, which features a little sample from Wreckx-N-Effect’s Rumpshaker, there’s no way that the folks of Charleston can’t hold up their end of the good-time bargain.
The band recently released a new album, Electric Slave, but if you’ve seen them live before, chances are you’ve heard these songs already. “We’ve been playing these songs live for a few years now, we just finally put them on an album,” remarks Lewis. Â The band also has worked up a medley of covers that you surely won’t want to miss. Â When asked if he’d be playing the Black Joe Lewis classic, “Booty City“, Lewis responded, “If you come to the show, I’ll play it.” Â Now there’s a man who knows how to make a lady happy.
