Lewis Del Mar is two lifelong friends, Danny Miller and Max Harwood, who began playing music together by 5th grade and continued to do so throughout high school. After graduation, the two moved to Brooklyn, NY before eventually relocating to Rockaway Beach – Queens, NY – marking the beginning of Lewis Del Mar. In July of 2015, after almost two years of meticulous collaboration, Lewis Del Mar was catapulted onto the blogosphere with the independent release of their first single “Loud(y).” The reaction was instantaneous, with the track reaching #3 in the Spotify Viral 50 chart, hailed as one of iTunes/Apple Music’s Best Alternative Songs of 2015, as well as seeing support from Indie Shuffle, Pigeons & Planes, Consequence of Sound, KCRW and CMJ. The duo is currently at work on their debut album.
