with a steel plate in her wrist and a penchant for sarcasm.
Quick Bio
Will you find Lee Quick interesting? Well, here's a quick pop quiz to help you decide.
Do you like songs that make you:
• think?
• cry?
• laugh?
• groove?
Lee covers all those bases - she's an emotional-equal-opportunity songwriter. Multifaceted, smart-sexy, and occasionally funny as hell, Lee Quick dishes out original Americana, alt. country, pop folk, and whatever else she feels like. The ex-New Orleans singer-songwriter-guitarist delivers insightful and well-crafted songs with wit and warmth, and with attitude ranging from sarcastic to sentimental.
Lee's musically diverse songs show many eclectic influences, from The Beatles to Elvis Costello to Lucinda Williams to Johnny Cash. She writes all her own music and lyrics unless someone hands her a half-finished good idea, in which case she will make it great and claim most of the credit.
In 2004 Lee released her first album, "Do You Think?", which was recorded in a shotgun house (now deceased) in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The album is available at this website and all over the Intertubes, including iTunes and CDbaby.com. [But you can't buy it at evil Wal-Mart.]
In 2005-06 Lee survived a forced relocation from New Orleans to Nashville, Tennessee, where she appears occasionally around town, including the famous Bluebird Cafe Writers Night (14 performances). Nashville is cool but it doesn't have any hot boiled crawfish, so Lee's sucking skills are being sadly wasted.
In 2007-08 Lee recorded and unveiled a big batch of new songs written and recorded in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and largely in the throes of despair. But not all of the songs are funny.
In 2009 Lee saw a lot of live comedy shows, wrote a 75-page thesis and finished a Master of Music degree. And not much else.
In 2010 Lee conducted the Tennessee Fiddle Orchestra, played and taught bassoon, did stand-up comedy 5 times, and hosted a comedy & music showcase. Then she took 6 months off and meditated on the state of existence.
Lee writes / performs / records / produces / mixes her songs on her iMac as she feels like it, and offers them for sale on her Music Page, which is where you should be looking next. Go ahead... I'll wait.
