“Bryan Lee plays with so much emotion that the listener can't help but be pulled into the music. If you love the blues - this New Orleans sensation will blow you away. From his incredible riffs to his gut wrenching vocals Bryan Lee truly is.... the blues!”
“One day you're going to be a living legend." Muddy Waters
"One of the best bluesmen I have ever heard” Eric Clapton
“This is gritty, raunchy, funky, raw, southern, hot R&B with a heavy emphasis on the "Blues".
Bryan Lee has performed with (every big name in the industry this is just a few) BB King - including 2005 for his birthday Pine Top Perkins Hubert Sumlin, Buddy Flett Willie Big Eyes Smith. Kenny Wayne Shepherd - on his newest CD/DVD release Ten Days Out and with Kenny on the Tonight Show with David Letterman 2008 Nominee Blues Album of the Year (most recent nomination)
In Bryan Lee’s own words People used to ask me, "Why are you working so hard at all these stupid little bars, who cares?" There’s a firm belief in my heart, a love for what I do. It is very important for me every night, no matter how I feel, to give my very best to the audience. I want the music to be perfect every night (though I will never get it that way). But there are times, especially when you do a performance and everything’s just right, you can’t make a mistake.
This story told by a famous music critic Not all of us have a chance to wander into the Old Absinthe Bar (famous New Orleans bar) on a steamy, sultry New Orleans night. Ten years ago, when this blind-as-a-bat old white-guy groped his way up to the stage and picked up his axe, I nearly left. The house-lights go down, the white cane gets tossed behind the amps somewhere, there is a longish, slightly uncomfortable pause ... then, a commanding voice shouts "Well All-RIGHT", and a spine-tingling, floor-shaking, full-tilt wall of pure, raw, funky, soul-filled energy bulldozes the room. It is ZZ-Top, Stevie-Ray, and James Brown all rolled up together into the kind of funkilicious spicy gumbo-for-the-ears that only Bourbon Street offers.
