MULTI GRAMMY AWARD WINNING GUITARIST & BANDLEADER….. DIRECT FROM CALIFORNIA!!

ALBERT LEE & HIS USA ELECTRIC BAND.

Albert Lee’s impeccable pedigree stretches back over 40 years, performing with many of the greats along the way, including being a regular member of the touring bands of Eric Clapton, Emmylou Harris and The Everley Brothers.

While living in Nashville he was the “go to” guitarist for session work and live shows. His list of credits are endless, including performances with Willie Nelson, The Crickets, Lonnie Donnegan, Jimmy Page and Ricky Skaggs.

One of the world’s most revered guitarists, known for his virtuoso finger style and his amazing lightning speed picking technique. Also a great vocalist and piano player, he has embraced R’n ‘B, country and Rock’n Roll, citing his influences as Duane Eddy, Chet Atkins and Buddy Holly.

He was an integral part of Chris Farlowe’s Thunderbirds before forming the critically acclaimed “Heads Hands & Feet”, together with Chas Hodges, later of Chas & Dave fame. One of the first guitar heroes, playing his Fender Stratocaster at breakneck speed, known as the guitarist’s guitarist, Albert has been in constant demand as a session musician as well as joining Bill Wyman’s Rhythm Kings and Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band. He was responsible for the Everley Brothers reunion in 1983 and played live with them for over 20 years.

He has received numerous awards over the years including Two Grammys for best instrumental performances and a Life Achievement Award for services to music..

He recently performed across the USA in an acoustic duo with Peter Asher of Peter & Gordon fame, however we are proud to present him with his full American Electric Touring Band at the festival.

Now domiciled permanently in America, don’t miss this rare chance to catch a true guitar legend!!
