| BIO |
Straight-shooting, smart-sexy, and occasionally funny as hell, Lee Quick dishes out Americana, alt. country, new folk, and whatever else she likes. 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.
Her original songs show eclectic influences, including the Beatles, Elvis Costello, k.d. lang, and Lucinda Williams. Her first album, "Do You Think?", recorded in a shotgun house (now deceased) in the Lower Ninth Ward, was released in February 2004 and is available here.
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 Tipitina’s in uptown New Orleans two months before the hurricane hit.
In 2005 Lee survived a forced relocation from New Orleans to Nashville, Tennessee, where she appears regularly around town, including the famous Bluebird Cafe Writers Night.
