About Kevin Lee

Followers of crafty guitar 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, Foreigner ) and producer Don Dixon ( REM, Smithereens ) to record the album “Restless”. The record led to live dates with Matthew Sweet and Pearl Jam. The single “Standing in the Line of Fire” was chosen for an NBA All Stars video, used in the movie “A Dangerous Woman”, and received substantial airplay on several P1 stations across America. Not content to rest on past achievements Lee released his first solo album “Walk A Mile In My Shoes” in 1998 on Bubblehaus Records. Lee is also a hard working live performer consistently criss-crossing the Midwest with his band.

In 2002 Kevin released the critically acclaimed cd “Loaded” on Chicago-based Big Blast Records. The record is another long drive through Lee’s pop/rock landscape that is made all the more enjoyable due to a more highly-evolved production approach. One of the highlights of the cd is “Right Here With Me”, an emotive ballad with a strong hook.. The album also contains the car-radio ready rock numbers as the opening cut “Where Do We Go From Here” and “Find A Way”, which features a chugging mid-tempo guitar groove and Beatle-esque harmonies. In 2006 Lee released “Flip the Switch” on Sigus Records. Co-producing with producer/engineer Josh Shapera has brought a new modern rock edge to Lee’s songs. MTV signed all 20 songs from both records for use in there reality shows and video games. Opening with the hook filled “Built To Burn”, this record rocks harder than Lee’s previous efforts. The album also contains the anthemic “Save Me Tonight” and the radio friendly All I Want.

Kevin is pleased to announce the release of “Dusk Till Dawn” on Sigus Records featuring Lee's trademark songwriting with big hooks, chunky guitars, and melodies that can't be forgotten. Co- produced with Rick Barnes ( The Smashing Pumpkins, Lucky Boys Confusion ) the EP is less about studio magic and more about gutsy, catchy rock songs that capture and keep listeners. Rockers like “The Other Side” and the radio ballad “Invisible” show Lee at the top of his craft in the songwriting game.

Fans of powerful pop/rock music would do well to give KEVIN LEE a listen. He has proven himself capable of performing at the top level of the music industry in the past and his new cd “Dusk Till Dawn” will again bring him attention as a songwriter and performer of the finest kind.
