Cameron Lew makes it easy to do so; every considered detail is his own manifestation, written, designed, and executed as an all-encompassing diorama of sound and sight. โ € โ € A multi-instrumentalist, producer, songwriter, and visual artist from Southern California, Lew has crafted his project steadily since 2017, inviting a fervent and growing legion of fans into storylines drawn across mediums: captivating albums with accompanying films and globe-spanning tours. โ € โ € The Ginger Root soundโ€”handmade yet immaculately polished synth-pop, alt-disco, boogie, and soulโ€”takes shape through Lewโ€™s lens as an Asian-American who grew up enamored by 1970s and โ€˜80s music, specifically the creative and cultural dialogue between Japanese City Pop and its Western counterparts, from French Pop to Philly Soul to Ram-era McCartney.โ € โ € โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #thingstodoinhouston #livemusic #livemusichouston #freeconcerttickets #houstonmusic #houstonthingstodo #houstonnightlife #houstonlivemusicscene #houstonlivemusic #houstonmusicclubs

I have been inspired by all kinds of music spanning many genres, but there is something about old time songs & bluegrass music that resonates so deeply within me. It feels like home, and it never goes out of style. Songs like these were here long before me and, I believe, will be here long after me. It's a resilient type of music that stands the test of time. It was important for me to do these songs justice in my own voice and share my well of inspiration while also collaborating with some good friends who are carrying their own rightful torch.โ€โ € โ € โ €โ € โ € โ €โ € โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ € #thingstodoinhouston #livemusic #livemusichouston #freeconcerttickets #houstonmusic #houstonthingstodo #houstonnightlife #houstonlivemusicscene #houstonlivemusic #houstonmusicclubs
