Early life

Huey Lewis was born in New York City. His father, Hugh Anthony Cregg Jr., was an Irish-American from Boston, and his mother, Maria Magdalena Barcinski, was Polish, from Warsaw^. His grandfather, Hugh Cregg, was district attorney of Essex County, Massachusetts from 1931 to 1959.

Lewis was raised in Marin County, California, living in Tamalpais Valley and Strawberry, and attending Strawberry Point Elementary School (where he skipped second grade) and Edna Maguire Junior High School in Mill Valley.

When he was 13, his parents divorced. He attended and graduated from the Lawrenceville School, an all-male prep school in New Jersey, in 1967, and he achieved a perfect score of 800 on the math portion of the SAT.

 He was also an all-state baseball player. Lewis attended Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. His mother had an extramarital affair with Beat Generation poet Lew Welch, who became his step father. Lewis credits Welch with inspiring him in his early teenage years. His mother was close friends with the Grateful Dead’s manager and extended family.

Music career

In 1971 Lewis joined the Bay Area band Clover. Around this time he took the stage name “Hughie Louis”, the spelling of which he would tinker with for some years after. Other members of the band (at various points) included John McFee and Alex Call. Lewis played harmonica and sang lead vocals on a few tunes.

The two Clover albums produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange for Phonogram were not successful. By this point the spelling of Cregg’s stage name had changed to “Huey Louis”; it is under this spelling that he is billed on both of Clover’s albums for Phonogram, although for songwriting credits he is billed as “H. Cregg”.

In 1978 the band returned to California, McFee joined the Doobie Brothers, and Clover disbanded. McFee and Lewis, credited as Huey Harp, both appear as guest musicians on the George Hatcher Band’s 1977 sophomore album, Talkin’ Turkey, produced by Tom Allom.

Acting career

After Lewis’s cameo appearance as a teacher in Back to the Future, more substantial roles followed, including Vern Miller in Robert Altman’s ensemble feature, Short Cuts, and Ricky Dean in Duets.

He has performed in occasional television roles as well, including One Tree Hill, The King of Queens and a recurring character on Hot in Cleveland. Lewis provides the voice of Bulworth the junkyard dog in the animated series Puppy Dog Pals.
