BOBBY LEE & The Pilgrims

BOBBY LEE MUSIC.COM Broadly deemed one of the finest guitarists of his generation, in 1996 Bobby was judged Fender’s “Irish Guitarist of the Future” by no less an intuitive opinion than that of Donal Gallagher, brother to the late Rory. (He received his award at Wembley Conference Centre, in the company of such greats as Hank Marvin of The Shadows and Peter Green of Fleetwood Mac). Interveining years has seen Bobby collaborate and support international luminaries like David Gray-Mercury Rev-The Kinks – Ronan O Snodaigh Dee Armstrong - Liam Ó Maonlaí as well as long time friends and Irish stars Kila. Bobby’s highlight in 2007 was funkin it up on the chill stage at Ireland's prestigeous Electric Picnic Festival 2007 and he has just come off a National tour with Dublin based band Kila to promote his new album “The Future History”. Bobby is a soulful, sensitive performer and songwriter; his highly spirited Funky Folk and Soul sound takes his music far beyond the realms of singer songwriter. His songs carry messages laden with spiritual and social imperative and are delivered with supreme musical and vocal dexterity. He cites Jesus Christ as influential in his life and work but asked as to his religious preference, he replies, “I am who I am. Its not the branch that matters, it’s the ground its planted in, whether Christian, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim. They’re all just labels. Its not important what I am, its important that I am.” Bobby’s album “The Future History” is a collection of beautifully crafted songs that truly capture the soul, treating it with love and care before handing it back to you with a smile thats says its all good.The Future History plays host to the talents of New York born brother Jason brown of (1 Adam 12 & The Sloan Wainwright band) on bass - brother Paul Hannon on drums - with special guests Dee Armstrong of Dublin band KILA on Strings- Hue Dillion on Guitar-Leon Frahill on congas-Art Olaoire -Sarah roche and Aine Duffy on Vocals.
