James “Louie” Mike Lewis began playing guitar in the summer of 1978 his friend Robert Pettycrew and band mate Brad Copper. After attending Roberto Venn School of Luthiery in 1984 he landed a job building guitars
in Texas where he was bitten by the Texas Blues bug. After returning to Arizona in 1990 his performing took a back seat to building and repairing guitars. In 2003 the bug bit again and Louie was building and
playing guitars with a passion. He joined up with Randy and Robert and they recruited Lyle Engle on bass. Louie currently builds and repairs guitars full time at Bronson Guitar Works in Scottsdale AZ for many
local notables, including George Benson. As Louie states…."you will never see me play a guitar that I didn't build myself from the ground up!"
