" Simon's new album is a tour de force of singing, songwriting and slide guitar.

Tone, skill and soul, it's got it all "

- Brett Garsed ( Guitarist for John Farnham and T.J. Helmerich ) on the new album

" Pouring Water On a Drowning Man " 2024

“ Kinny-Lewis is a virtuoso guitarist. Blistering speakers with chromatic runs,
modal flights of fancy and arpeggiated passing chords SKL has a deep trick bag. “
“ A great accomplishment for both Robben Ford and Simon Kinny-Lewis ”


- Blues Blast Magazine USA 2022

Steve Lukather ( Guitarist from Toto, Michael Jackson ) comments on Simon Kinny-Lewis’s 2016 album “Street Blues”  “Great man. Your voice has a little Bonnamassa in it…which is cool. Love the tune too. KILLER solo!

“ I had the great pleasure of being on the same bill as Simon a little while ago and he sounded amazing and his new album is fantastic. He has great command on the guitar and vocals. His songs are wonderful. Simon teamed up with my friend Robben Ford to make a great contemporary blues record ”

Kirk Fletcher ( USA Blues Master/ Guitarist for Joe Bonamassa, Fabulous Thunderbirds )

What a pleasure to hear my friends Simon and Tony cutting loose on a great set list of tunes while visiting Northern California. Besides the absolutely wonderful playing you can hear the smiles on their faces as they bust through this set. Great on all fronts.

Josh Smith - ( Leading US Blues Guitarist ) on the  " A Day In San Jose " album 2019

Christian Howes - leading jazz violinist and professor at the Berklee College of Music. His artistic collaborators have included Les Paul, Greg Osby, Robben Ford, to name a few writes.... “One of the most soulful Guitar Players on the planet!”

" Simon Kinny-Lewis ( SKL ) is the full package. His guitar playing is up there with the best guitarists of today "

T.J. Helmerich - producer/engineer for artists Steve Vai, Victor Wooten, and Tribal Tech on Simon’s 2015 release “Strat Attack” “Simon’s releases never cease to amaze me! This one is my favorite I think... love the writing, and the players. Simon’s guitar talents truly shine on this, as he effortlessly navigates through tricky progressions with fire, grace and taste!”

Simon Cotsworth - Producer/Engineer ( Seal, Santana, George Benson )
“What I look for is timing and performance..and Simon is top on both of those.”

 

 

"Not many up-and-coming Sydney guitarists profess they want to sound like Robert Cray. Then again, not many upcoming Sydney guitarists can play like Robert Cray. Simon Kinny-Lewis can."
