Damian Lewis

Sweet Chaos UK Tour

Friday 30th October 2026

Doors: 19:00

+ support from Jackson Carter

Damian has played the classical guitar since he was 13-years-old. Quickly though, suspecting that he might be the “Second Elvis,” he graduated to the steel string acoustic so that he could sing Elvis in the mirror without fear of interruption. Busking in London and continental Europe through his early twenties, the rent money started coming in from acting and the guitar was parked up as a hobby until the time of CoVid lockdown and quarantine. The busking experience has stayed with Damian ever since and is reflected in his debut album.

Damian linked up with one of today’s most exciting jazz musicians, Giacomo Smith, who in turn introduced him to a collection of brilliant London-based musicians, many of whom had played with Smith in the hugely loved and admired Kansas Smitty’s House Band. Damian wrote songs and found himself in the recording studio cutting tracks that were curated for his debut album titled, Mission Creep, which was released June 16, 2023

Like Damian’s first album Mission Creep, his second album Sweet Chaos is produced by his publishing company Thin Red Duke, but differs in that it’s distributed by the music agency Kartel Music Group. The album was recorded in West London with renowned producer Guy Chambers, alongside collaborators Dave Archer (guitar) and Will Cleasby (drums), and captures a more expansive and dynamic sound.

The album came together following a turning point collaboration with Guy Chambers, whose work helped reshape the project after earlier sessions stalled. The partnership brought a renewed clarity and focus to the material, with Damian crediting Chambers’ experience and honesty as pivotal to the album’s direction.
