Modern-day guitar rock is a funny thing. The elements and attitudes all seem fairly obvious from the outside, yet many writers fall short of the hooks and structures they need to propel themselves into the pop song skyline. The best writers in the genre have a gift for profound simplicity and direct communication coupled with an ability to make three chords sound like the most important thing in the world. Chicago's KEVIN LEE is one of those writers. Kevin crafts highly melodic pop/rock and roll songs in a modern context. His sound is a mix of old-school musical chops, vocal ability, and present-day guitar edge. A powerful singer, guitarist, and performer, KEVIN LEE is a pure pop/rock pleasure awaiting your discovery. Followers of crafty pop/rock may recognize Kevin's name from his days as Kevin Lee and the Lonesome City Kings. Signed to MCA the band worked with grammy-winning producer Frank Fillipetti (Korn, Kiss) and producer Don Dixon (REM, Smithereens) to record the album "Restless". The record led to live dates with Pearl Jam and Matthew Sweet. The single "Standing In The Line Of Fire" was chosen for an NBA All Stars video, used in several movies, and received substantial airplay through out the world. Not content to rest on past achievements Lee released his first solo album "Walk A Mile In My Shoes" in 1998 on Bubblehaus Records and "Loaded" in 2002 on Big Blast Records. Kevin is pleased to announce the release of "Flip The Switch" on Sigus Records. The album features the hook filled "Built To Burn", Save Me Tonight", and the radio-friendly "All I Want". Kevin Lee is an experienced rock musician and songwriter with the power to craft timeless music that appeals equally to the head as well as the heart. Lee is a proven performer at the national level of the music industry and it is only a matter of time before "Flip The Switch" is blasting out of radios all over the world.
