One Street Over

About Me

One Street Over features Internationally known guitarist, Michael Lewis performing instrumental smooth jazz with a talented group of jazz musicians from around the region. One Street Over dates back to 1989 when Michael was in Portland, Oregon. Michael later moved to Nashville and continued the group with notable players from Tennessee. Michael was also the guitarist for the Radio Daze Big Band in Nashville from 1996 to 2006. Michael has since returned to the Northwest and connected with some of the finest jazz players in the area. Upcoming shows should be something to see and will include some new recordings as well.
