From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Lexington is packed - its low lighting evoking a real sense of intimacy ahead of Rhys Lewis' headline show.
Ferris & Sylvester bring their contagious blend of country as an opening act, with "London’s Blues" from their debut EP Made in Streatham providing a rambunctious rockabilly vibe. "Better in Yellow" is lovely, its trumpet instrumental injected throughout delivered beautifully.
Rhys Lewis enters the stage to an eruption of applause. The opening verse “Been a sinner and a saint, crazy and sane, I’ve been living in the city too long” is delivered superbly.
"Bad Timing" has a sublime energy that storms the stage, but the undeniable highlight of the night however is "Reason To Hate You" - Lewis' live performance is utterly enthralling; affirming the sense that this young talent has a very promising career ahead of him.
