Eric Lewis, known as ELEW, grew up in Camden, New Jersey, studied at the Manhattan School of Music, and has played with Wynton Marsalis, Elvin Jones, Cassandra Wilson and Roy Hargrove. He won the Thelonious Monk International Piano Competition in 1999. He later built a crossover sound he calls Rockjazz, mixing piano technique with rock guitar ideas and prepared piano methods. He has reimagined songs by The Killers, Nirvana, Coldplay and Michael Jackson. His Counterbop technique has him play two independent melodies at once. He's also a DJ, and sometimes builds turntables right into the piano.

Detroit's own Louis Jones is on drums and Noah Jackson plays bass.

There are two seatings, at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 p.m. for dinner, seating for Dinner & a Show starts at 6 p.m., and seating for the second show starts at 9 p.m. Make a reservation.
