| Bristol-based artist Freddie Lewis is excited to announce his autumn Cabaret tour, with exclusive shows in London, Brighton, Manchester, and Bristol. Funded by the PRS Foundation’s Open Fund for Music Creators, Lewis has already gained support from BBC Radio 1 and 6Music, and was named one of PRS’s Keychange Artists of 2023. He is quickly becoming an exciting, unique artist on the rise.The ‘Freddie Lewis Cabaret’ tour will combine queer cabaret with drag, burlesque and live music. With three incredible guest acts due to perform in each city, this tour is not one to be missed. Freddie elaborates, “I love watching cabaret. Some of my most cherished audience experiences over the last few years have been watching drag, burlesque, and cabaret performers. Something always surprises me, makes me laugh, or turns me on a little bit. I wanted to bring that energy into my live performance, by creating and hosting my very own. I’ve invited some of my favourite performers across the country, I’ve asked my band to learn some Kylie Minogue, I’m wondering if taking poppers before singing is as intense as it looks in those Troye Sivan videos. I’m ready.” |

| Freddie Lewis – ‘Growing Pains’ |
|
| A mainstay of the Bristol music scene and a prominent voice in the UK queer community, Freddie Lewis is celebrated for his talent in capturing moments through melody and words, creating his very own brand of vivid, touching and relatable pop music. Drawing inspiration from the UK’s indie-soul scene, Lewis is influenced by the danceable grooves and poetic lyricism of Arlo Parks, the soulful pop of Olivia Dean, and the recently rebranded band Hard Life (formerly Easy Life).Freddie Lewis launched his music career in the summer of 2021 with the single Growing Pains, making a significant impact on the UK trans community through his viral poem featured in the song’s outro. He released his debut EP, Lilac Underpass Mixtape later that year, which received airplay on BBC Radio 1 and 6Music, and he was featured as the cover artist on Spotify’seditorial playlist, Transcend for four months. Since then, Freddie has been championed by BBC Introducing in the West and performed at renowned festivals like Glastonbury, The Great Escape, and Iceland Airwaves. He has also been featured on Spotify playlists such as New Music Friday UK, Fresh Finds and Our Generation,and has received coverage from BBC News and Bristol 24/7 for his lively and captivating live performances. His second EP More Than That, released in 2023, received further Spotify editorial playlisting, and praise from Wonderland, The Line of Best Fit and When The Horn Blows amongst others.
For Lewis, this tour marks a new beginning. With support from the PRS Open Fund for Music Creators, new music to share, and a diverse lineup of guest queer performers, he is excited to present his enhanced and altogether more raucous live show to new audiences and existing fans across the country. |
