In Case You Missed It: An Exclusive Fan Fun Interview with Damian Lewis

We’re twinning with our vests!

I am back from a week-long fantastic trip to the UK following Damian Lewis and his brilliant band from Stroud to Poole to Norwich to Cambridge in the second leg of his ‘Mission Creep” UK tour. I cannot wait to share with you my report from the gigs, fun backstage shenanigans, and a few surprises in the days and weeks to come.

Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis’ Triple Treat at Rough Trade East

It was exactly a year ago that Damian Lewis and his fabulous band had a special little gig at Rough Trade East in London. The evening started with pre-gig chat between Damian and his friend, collaborator and producer Giacomo Smith about the musical journey they have had in the last three years. Then Damian and the band played a couple of songs from the newly released ‘Mission Creep’ followed by Damian signing the copies of his debut album gig attendees received with their ticket purchase. That is what I call a “triple treat.”
