   About Bernice Lewis
"Bernice is really one of the keepers of the flame of Real Songwriting". Rosanne Cash

”What a great CD! Bernice writes beautifully and deeply. I love the range of styles. "Good Kind of Love" is wonderful; spoke right to my heart! Great, jazzy cover of Joni Mitchell’s A Case of You". Dar Williams

A fixture on the coffeehouse circuit, contemporary-folk radio, and at the major folk festivals, Lewis -- who studied vocal improvisation with Bobby McFerrin, guitar technique with Alex DeGrassi and Guy van Duser, and songwriting with Roseanne Cash and Cris Williamson -- has been a featured performer on National Public Radio's "Mountain Stage" program. In 1987, she was a finalist in the prestigeous New Folk Songwriting Contest at the Kerrville (Texas) Folk Festival, where she continues to be a main stage favorite. Her ballad, "Bridges That Hold," was included in the PBS-TV "Lifelines" documentary starring Peter, Paul and Mary. Her newest CD, "She Undoes", (2006) was Recorded in Nashville and produced by Grammy Award winner Charlie Chadwick. It features a duet with fellow singer/songwriter Cliff Eberhardt and a jazzy a cappella version of Joni Mitchell’s “A Case of You” in additon to a collection of newly penned originals.

She has been featured in Yoga Journal for her work with sound and yoga, and has shared the stage with many renowned artists, including Dar Williams, The Dixie Chicks, Patty Griffin, Pete Seegar, Ellis Paul, John Gorka, Rory Block, Livingston Taylor, Odetta, Christine Lavin...it’s a long list. She is also a published poet, a sought after producer, and an educator extraordinaire. She currently teaches songwriting and performing at Williams College in Williamstown, Ma and Colorado College in Colorado Springs, Co. She’s had a thirty year daily yoga practice, loves good coffee, and her religion is the Grand Canyon.
