The Lee Boys grew up in the church where their father was a pastor and a steel player himself. 'Sacred steel' is a type of music described as an inspired, unique form of Gospel music with a hard-driving, blues-based beat. The musical genre is rooted in Gospel, but infused with rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, country and ideas from other nations. When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences instantly recognize that this is not 'sitting and listening' music: dancing, shouting out, and having fun are considered essential parts of their tradition. The Lee Boys have performed for more than 750,000 music fans at festivals throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Asia.
