Gabe Lee

Gabe Lee är inget mer och inget mindre än en mycket bra singer/songwriter av den klassiska country-skolan. Men förväxla inte klassiskt med gammeldags. Gabe Lee är i högsta grad här och nu. Både musik och texter speglar vår tid. Nya albumet "Drink The River" är ett prov på mästerligt låtskriveri och handlar om livet in staden där han föddes, växte upp och lever. Och Gabe Lee är något så unikt som en musiker som faktiskt är född och uppvuxen i Nashville!

I höst kommer Gabe Lee till Skandinavien för första gången. Vi glädjer oss!

Equal parts classic songwriter and modern-day storyteller, Gabe Lee has built his own
bridge between country, folk and rock. Lee has been collecting stories for years, both
onstage and off. "I used to bartend," says the Nashville-based songwriter, "which means
I was also a cheap therapist for whomever happened to be sitting on the barstool. Whether they were there to celebrate or drink away their problems, I heard about whatever they were going through. It was my job to have that face-to-face interaction—that connection. Being a full-time musician isn't much different."

With critically-acclaimed albums like 2019's farmland, 2020's Honky-Tonk Hell, and 2022's
The Hometown Kid, Lee created that connection by delivering his own stories toan ever-growing audience. His fourth record, Drink the River, takes a different approach. This time, Lee isn't offering listeners a peek into his internal world; he's holding up a mirror to reflect their own.

Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. Raised by
Taiwanese parents in Nashville, TN, he left home during his teenage years and headed to Indiana, where he obtained college degrees in literature and journalism. Lee launched his career as a genre-bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high-profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, Molly Tuttle, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots-rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student.

If albums like Honky-Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writing songs about himself; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together.

"..while Lee's got the balls to directly call out "phony-ass country songs" made in his hometown of Nashville, it's not completely necessary — the music does all the talking for him"
