Music
The Lee Boys
The Lee Boys are one of America's finest ensembles performing a unique form of gospel music that they've taken around the world since their founding in 2000. The Lee Boys play “Sacred Steel,” music that's rooted in gospel, driven by electrified pedal and lap steel guitar, and infused with rhythm, blues, jazz, rock, funk, and hip-hop.
The Lee Boys have taken their modern expression of Sacred Steel on the road and have become a pre-eminent touring ensemble. Over the past 20 years, The Lee Boys have released four albums, packed prestigious venues, and spread their music and message beyond the church pews through residencies, recording studios and concerts across America.
The Lee Boys have performed for more than 750,000 music fans at festivals throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Their unique sound has attracted musical artists such as Allman Bros. Band, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Robert Plant, Robert Randolph, Derek Trucks, Mavis Staples, Gov’t Mule, Del McCoury, Traveling McCoury’s, Victor Wooten, Blind Boys of Alabama, Black Crowes, John Legend, and The Roots – all of whom have performed with the Lee Boys and/or invited them to tour with them.
The Lee Boys were recently recognized and honored by the State of Florida. They were Recipients of the Florida Folk Heritage Award in 2022 for “their contributions that led to a greater appreciation and recognition of the importance of traditional arts and artists in our state.
