Still just 20-years-old, Toby Lee is already a three-time winner of Young Blues Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards - yet the virtuoso guitarist is only getting started. Praised as a remarkable talent by the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:6eLbRJP12OhyvUv4ntto4e" data-name="Jools Holland">Jools Holland</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2SNzxY1OsSCHBLVi77mpPQ" data-name="Joe Bonamassa">Joe Bonamassa</a>, 2024 represented a big breakthrough year as Toby released his new album <a href="spotify:album:1oIfmvGr7Gw8cyci7TBfm4" data-name="House On Fire">House On Fire</a>. This was followed by appearances on Jools's Annual Hootenanny and Channel 4's Sunday Bruch. The singles House On Fire, Count On Me and Blame Me were all playlisted by BBC Radio 2
As you’d expect from someone that The Times hailed as, “One of the best guitarists in Britain,” his six-string talents dazzle throughout with a rich tapestry of scorching leads, evocative melodies and swaggering grooves. Yet his vocals have come on leaps-and-bounds, his maturity and emotional expression providing a voice strong enough to front a band regardless of his guitar skills.
His songs and stylistic scope have expanded too, with a set that moves seemingly effortlessly between classic blues jams, punchy hard rock, intimate acoustic moments and a modernist approach to classic soul and Stax-style R&B.
Toby says, “I’m so excited to be releasing my first original album and I’m super proud of the end result. I wanted an album that was positive and relevant to my age - blues rock with a hint of soul”
Toby has been a Gibson Artist since the age of 10 and is endorsed by Blackstar Amplification and D’Addario Strings.
