  • Bio

    website: leequick.com see me tweet: Twitter.com/leequick "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. Multifaceted, smart-sexy, and occasionally funny as hell, Lee Quick dishes out original Americana, alt. country, pop 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 sarcastic to sentimental. Half songwriter and half classical musician, Lee is a genuine and compelling performer, a skilled guitarist, and able to deliver both intensity and nuance in her live shows. In other words: she sounds good, plays good, and looks good doing it. Lee's original songs show many 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 forced Lee to relocate from New Orleans to Nashville, Tennessee, where she appears regularly around town, including the famous Bluebird Cafe Writers Night (15 times).

  • 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.....
