Lee Bob & The Truth

Watch Lee Bob

Lee Bob came to local attention as a sideman for the band Jackpot. His solo debut, The Sun Years (2001), was described by Christian Kiefer of Sacramento News & Review as “a strange amalgam of Tom Petty and Miles Davis.” An uncanny comparison that the artist would love somehow to be true.

David Dye of NPR Music: World Cafe said Lee Bob’s music “grapples with the quest for authenticity in a culture that is based on recycled themes and sounds.”

In recent years, Lee Bob has doubled down on the quest for authenticity with Lee Bob & The Truth – with members who have played with Richard Ashcroft, Tommy Guerrero, Darondo, Lauryn Hill, Miko Marks, and others.
