Eric Lee & A New Sun

The Drake

Multi instrumentalist  Eric Lee brings a blistering bluegrass band to the Drake

Eric Lee is an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and songwriter whose stand-alone melodies are set to rich musical backdrops. From the personal to the sublime, his songs range from tales of honkey-tonk heartache to anthems of social consciousness, and are told with a language of poetic and raw honesty. His first full-length album, Heartache Town, reached #25 most-played album in National Folk Radio Charts in 2019, and features the exquisite supporting talents of vocalist Tracy Grammer and five-time IBMA Mandolinist of the Year Jesse Brock, with the album&#x27;s first track “The Garden” reaching number #21 most-played song. Recently, his cover of “Singin’ Man” was included on the 2022 release, Tribute to a Songpoet: Songs of Eric Andersen, along with recordings by Bob Dylan, Amy Helm, Richard Shindell, Janis Ian, Dan Navarro, Dom Flemmons, Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, and others. Lee draws from a deep well of musical understanding, having accompanied such acts as Peter Rowan, Eric Andersen, The Gibson Brothers, Pete &amp; Maura Kennedy, Man About a Horse (winners of the 2018 Freshgrass band contest and IBMA nominees), and John Gorka. His current bluegrass band, Poor Monroe, performs his original material, as well as traditional bluegrass &amp; gospel, and has appeared at festivals throughout New England including The Green River Festival, Ossipee Valley Music Fest, Podunk Bluegrass fest, and The Back Porch Festival.Eric will be appearing with a backing band of exceptionally talented musicians, comprised of Sean Davis (guitar), Tim Bowles (pedal steel), Josh Ballard (bass), and Chris Boucher (banjo).
