Tellus360 Features Rock and Opera Night, 1/23

Tellus360 presents a special evening featuring Jake Lewis & The Clergy and Opera Lancaster, featuring what they do best, combined! The events takes place January 23, 2015 · 8:00pm

The evening kicks off with a set by Opera Lancaster, followed by a set from Jake Lewis & The Clergy. Then the evening wraps up as the band and the opera join together for a final set of surprises!

Jake Lewis & the Clergy are an indie rock band from Lancaster, PA. Formed in 2013, after front man Jake Lewis had clocked a few years as a solo performer, WXPN has called the collaboration "a Philly local band to watch" and "a wonderful example of the talented artists that deserve to be heard."

"After Loudon [Wainwright III] I headed over to the Lizard Lounge at the Chameleon Club to check out Jake Lewis and the Clergy, a band that was just nominated for a Tri State Indie award. I never saw them live before and they blew me away. Their music is memorizing and the harmonies are beautifully written. It was a very small intimate performance and I'm happy that I got to see them up close and personal, because it's only a matter of time before this band takes off." - Tri State Indie

"As a kid growing up in Gettysburg, Jake Lewis was surrounded by history- and family. Adopted at birth, he was one of eight adopted children growing up together on their Adams County farm. Now the folk-indie musician has found that family, history, and place inform his craft, from the exploration of personal history in his songwriting to the recording of his latest album, Gossip, in a Prohibition-era cabin in Lititz. Lewis' sound has also grown, from the quiet acoustic sets he did as a solo musician to the more raucous shows he plays now with The Clergy." - Fig Magazine
