The Lee Boys

The Finest Sacred Steel Band!

About Me

The Lee Boys are one of Americas finest African-American Sacred Steel Artists. The hottest movement on the music scene these days in the Sacred Steel sound that developed its roots in the House of God church. This church serves as the foundation from which these seasoned musicians developed and perfected their style, talents, and skills. There are six members who are brothers and nephews. Each member began making music in the church when they were 7 and 8 years old, and they have not stopped playing since.
Exhilarating, energetic, exciting, freeing fun, inspiring, spirited, soulful, thrilling - these are only some of the words fans have used in trying to describe how The Lee Boys make them feel. You can hear it all in their music as they come alive on the stage when they perform. It is the music of praised, faith and hope but with a whole lot more funk and enjoyment than has ever echoed through any church. The Lee Boys sacred steel style is rooted in gospel, but is infused with rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, country and world music genres in a powerful jamming mix. When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences instantly recognize that this is not sitting and listening music: dancing, shouting out, and having fun are considered essential parts of their tradition. Their style of music is unique and different from any other music thats ever been heard before. It features the pedal steel guitar as the central instrument. It is music with the exciting sacred steel dimension that uplifts you and makes you feel good like nothing else can! Guaranteed.
Fans of all different genres of music will definitely not want to miss out on this amazing group. The Lee Boys deliver powerful music with an exciting new sacred steel twist that never fails to thrill an audience. These guys will funkify your soul and help you see the musical light!
