Comic book creator, expert singer and all round renaissance man Jeffrey Lewis is set for a UK visit this summer confirming a number of festival appearances.

The New York anti-folk star earned much critical acclaim for last year's collection of Crass covers, done in an acoustic style. The album, titled "12 Crass Songs", was an unexpected triumph marrying the righteous anger of Crass to an introspective, folky approach.

Lewis' live shows are expected to be something special. Jeffrey lewis will make the following live appearances:

April 23rd - Windmill, London
April 24th - Windmill, London

August 3rd - Big Chill Festival, Hertfordshire
August 9th - Field Day Festival
August 10th - Summer Sundae Festival, Leicester

September 6th - Bestival, Isle Of Wight
September 12th - End Of The Road, Salisbury
