Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Post's musical landscape ranges from Acoustic Soul, to Roots Rock, to Southern Blues, with a splash of Adult Alternative. His lyrics convey stories of everyday people. He calls it "Rock N Soul." Starting out as a San Diego based artist in the mid 90s, Lee opened for the likes of Missing Persons & Blink 182. Followed were live TV appearances on The KUSI & KNSD Morning Shows. In 1999 Lee relocated to Nashville, TN where he honed his craft playing alongside such greats as Tony Lane.
Over the past 5 years, LTP has built a reputation as a road warrior with his blue-collar approach. Performing 150-200 shows a year - and driving 25,000-40,000 miles annually. He has also released 5 studio albums during this period. His tours, which some call a "perpetual tour", take him through cities as far away as Seattle, NYC, Tampa, San Diego, and everywhere inbetween! Lee has also lived/performed in Austin, Nashville, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
Lee..s marathon live performances (sometimes 2-3 hr sets without pause) have been described by his fans as "an Emotional Roller-Coaster," "Passionate, Powerful and Moving," "Honest & Pure," and "Intense and Straight from the Heart... His down-to-earth on-stage persona compliments his dynamic voice and electrifying shows.
Always eager to lend his time and talents to charitable causes, Lee has performed at benefits for M.A.D.D., the M.S. Society, and The Ramona Cancer Resource Center. As well as at benefit fundraisers for camps for seriously ill children like The Victory Junction Gang Camp owned by Kyle Petty, the racecar driver. Along with Bikers Who Care/Toys for Tots to help under privileged children. And most recently for The Heartland Psychosocial Rehabilitation Center in San Diego, CA!
Currently Lee resides in San Diego, CA where he is finishing up his next 2 releases, "Gathering The Stones" & "Soulturated" at Big Rock Studios. Lee will then embark on a coast-to-coast Spring & Summer tour in 2007 to promote both albums! Read Complete Bio!
