Lee Boys

This family group consists of three brothers, Alvin Lee (guitar), Derrick and Keith Lee (vocals), along with their three nephews, Roosevelt Collier (pedal steel guitar), Alvin Cordy Jr. (7-string bass) and Earl Walker (drums). Each member began making music at the ages of 7 and 8 in the House of God church they attended in Perrine, FL.
"Sacred steel" is a type of music described as an inspired, unique form of Gospel infused with rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, country and ideas from other nations. This music form was totally unknown outside the church until the mid 1990's when folklorist Robert Stone attended House of God services and recorded the music and documented its history, contributing the name "sacred steel."
When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences often dance, shout out, and always have a great time. Their unique sound has generated collaborations with Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, The Allman Brothers Band, The Black Crowes, Gov't Mule, The North Mississippi Allstars, and Victor Wooten, among many others.
