World renowned singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eliot Lewis (www.eliotlewis.com ) is the headline performer on Thursday, Aug. 25 for a special night of storytelling and classic hits from the man himself, unplugged on an intimate stage, in the heart of Cape May and outside, on the beautiful and historic grounds of the 1879 Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St. The show is part of Cape May’s new Summer Sunset Solo Series.

Eliot Lewis has toured the world as a member of the band Hall & Oates (https://hallandoates.com/), inductees in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and one of Philadelphia’s own, most beloved and successful bands. Lewis is the original featured musician on the award-winning TV show “Live from Daryl’s House.” Over the course of his career Lewis has earned a stellar reputation working with some of rock and roll’s most prominent musicians and groups, including The Average White Band, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top, Joe Walsh, Todd Rundgren, Train, Cheap Trick, Ben Folds Five, Jewel, Darius Rucker, Gavin DeGraw and more. Enjoy a variety of classic hits from these artists.

Opening Set by Cape May’s own Hannah Stone

Independent artist and hometown favorite Hannah Stone will perform a warmup set for our headlining guest. Hannah has written and recorded vocals for various TV and Netflix shows including “Search Party,” “Never Have I Ever” and “Vanderpump Rules.” In May of 2020 she released her first two singles “It’s Raining” and “Sleep Through the Summer,” followed by her debut EP Album “God’s Against This.” Her songs feature a unique soundscape and a refreshing sense of ingenuity within her lyricism, delivered by a sultry and impassioned voice.
