Sounds Like
cynical McCartney, mellow Elvis Costello, witty Lucinda Williams... ?
My songs cover a wide range of styles and emotions, so if you don't like a song, wait five minutes.
I have been compared to Mary Gautier, k d lang, Patsy Cline, Sheryl Crow, Bobby Gentry, Shelby Lynne, and Chrissy Hynde. But I'm not sure why.
Watch this New Orleans TV clip and imagine it better, then you'll have an idea...
"An intelligent blend of folk, blues, bluegrass and country with occasional flashes of lyrical insight...sassy...heartfelt" -- Americana-UK.com
Lee is just your typical singer / songwriter / guitarist / Katrina refugee / ex-Army-bassoonist with a steel plate in her wrist and a penchant for sarcasm.
Straight-shooting, smart-sexy, and occasionally funny as hell, Lee Quick dishes out Americana, alt. country, new folk, and whatever else she feels like. The ex-New Orleans singer-songwriter-guitarist delivers insightful and well-crafted songs with wit and warmth, and with attitude ranging from wry to wrathful to sentimental. A lifelong musician, Lee is an experienced and compelling performer, able to deliver intensity and nuance in her live shows, and as comfortable on a festival stage as in a living room. In other words: she sounds good, plays good, and looks good doing it.
Lee's original songs show eclectic influences from the Beatles and Elvis Costello to Johnny Cash and Lucinda Williams. Her first album, "Do You Think?", recorded in a shotgun house (now deceased) in the Lower Ninth Ward, was self-released in February 2004 and is available online at iTunes and CDbaby.com.
Lee started with her first three original songs at an open mic in January 2001, and because all three were good, quickly progressed to appearances such as the "15 Minutes" singer-songwriter showcase at the House of Blues (New Orleans), the Greater Baton Rouge State Fair (thrice), and the long-running Abita Springs Opry, which presents Louisiana roots music on local TV and radio. Lee won second place in the 2002 MOVA Festival Songwriters Competition (Alabama) and was a finalist in 2003, placing songs in folk, country, and rock/alternative categories. That year she also made her first festival appearance at the Southern Womyn's Festival in Georgia. In 2004 Lee performed live on "New Orleans After Midnight," broadcast locally on FOX 8 TV, and played at Tipitinas in uptown New Orleans two months before the hurricane hit.
In 2005 a hurricane named Katrina recently forced Lee to relocate from New Orleans to Nashville, Tennessee, where she appeared regularly around town, including playing the famous Bluebird Cafe Writers Night 10 times.
In 2007 Lee self-released an album called "Songs For Refugees" featuring self-produced songs written and recorded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. But, not all of the songs are funny.
"After The Storm" will soon be featured in a video documentary... details to come.
Lee is currently completing a Master's Degree in Bassoon Pedagogy (typical, right?) at Belmont University. She sings/plays/records all of her songs on her iMac using GarageBand 3.
Lee's goal in life is to be invited to a party by Amy Sedaris.

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?
A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.
