Stevie Lee writes the songs of the troubled gutter kids, kids still strung enough to love. He is in fact attempting to follow his own roots, the roots of an often gnarled and confusing family tree, back to Lee Combs (great grandfather, coal miner) who is said to have blessed Stevie with his musical ability. The music is Americana. The songs attempt to distill the ocean that is American experience into cohesive, thought-provoking songs that rely on the basics of blues/folk/rock. Stevie often performs solo acoustic with harmonica, but prefers the fuller sound of a rhythm section to accompany his tunes. His band has a dynamic range that can perform folk ballads to bombastic blues/rock (with copious covers) . Matt, bassist/producer/audio engineer, offers a diverse bottom end that can be funky, driving or laid back. Andy, drummer/teacher, is always solid and sensitive to the needs of the singer/song. Together we comprise the basis of what is bound to become, with luck of god and sonic bids, an elite sub-genre of American music: Gutterfolk.
