Adam Lee & the Dead Horse Sound Company

About Me

If there's one thing you can say about Adam Lee & the Dead Horse Sound Company, they get around. Since the April release of their debut album, 'Ghostly Fires,' these two ramblers have played most of the eastern US. Shows in nearly 20 states -- many, more than once. They've written and recorded a full length record entirely on their own, and show no signs of slowing down. All this from a band that's less than two years old. Adam Lee and Johnny Kay (the Dead Horse Sound Company) miss good old fashioned music. With a focus on solid songwriting, these Kansas City boys bring an indie sensibility to classic American styles. Assorted instrumentation and engaging arrangements set whiskey-fueled rockers alongside smoky southern ballads -- for fans of Willie and Wilco alike. With an uncompromising DIY attitude, Adam Lee & the Dead Horse Sound Company are headed for your town. So get your boots and grab a beer -- they'll see you on the road!

"The duo look and act like touring roadhouse minstrels from the late '50s who drove their Studebaker into a time warp on the road to Hunstville and ended up in modern-day KC... a match made in honky tonk heaven." -- The Pitch
"poignant, quirky and thoroughly compelling...Sounds like vintage Kris Kristofferson/Tom T. Hall/Bobby Bare to these ears. Good stuff." -- Creative Loafing
"a murky mix between Bruce Springsteen, Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash, the Kansas City pair have struck an eclectic chord with fans of country and indie music alike." -- Charleston.net
"compelling noir country-rock that explores last-call desperation and temptation" -- Creative Loafing Tampa
"The duo offers a powerful mix of country, bluegrass, Americana and honky tonk...If you're a fan of Johnny Cash you will certainly find solace in Adam Lee and the Dead Horse Sound Company." -- Macon.com
