Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears' frontman Joe Lewis drove a fish delivery truck — the kind of job any self-respecting soul singer is supposed to have when they're paying their dues. These days, Lewis is touring nationally in support of acts such as Spoon and Okkervil River and landed a deal with Lost Highway Records. Fusing elements of classic soul with the raw swagger of punk and scorching Delta blues guitar licks, Lewis and his band, the Honey Bears are a riotous explosion of fun.
Black Joe Lewis & the Honey Bears play at 4 p.m. Saturday on the Austin Ventures stage.
