HARLEYWOOD CAFE' CONCERTS
Big Daddy Lee
and the Kingbees
Friday Evening, Nov 7th, 2003 -- 7:00pm to 10:00pm.
Big Daddy Lee and the Kingbees
is a high-energy band that loves to
play blues -- no -- needs to play the blues! For these guys, the blues is
a passion; an addiction that can only be satisfied by a regular outpouring
of the compelling music that flows like a drug in their veins

"All real players know that
the essence of the blues is "the groove", the hypnotic
beat that really is the song. When you lock onto the groove,
it can be cosmic. It becomes the only thing that exists at that
time", says Big Daddy. "People have asked me about
incidents that occurred during a gig, and I'll have absolutely
no idea what they're talking about. My total consciousness becomes
the music."
Based in Carbondale, Colorado, the members
are all long-time players. The bad consists of the classic blues
configuration: bass, drums, guitar and harmonica. They play original
and classic blues and R&B tunes in a wide range of styles,
but will also reach back occasionally to pull out classic
60's gems such as Pipeline or Secret Agent Man.
" Big Daddy" Lee Hollowell has been
singing, playing guitar and performing for over 35 years. He
covers most of the lead vocals and plays guitar. His cool sense
of rhythm and soulful lead playing provide the spark that keeps
all those bodies moving on the dance floor. Equally adept at
playing slow swing, or rockin' blues, Big Daddy likes to mix
it up and play to the audience.

Mike "Dr. Feelgood" Stahl is Big
Daddy's long-time right hand man, and is an accomplished, energetic
harp player who never fails to impress the crowd. He is a versatile
musician who is also called upon to play guitar and lap steel.
He has a natural feel for the blues and provides the sonic frosting
on the cake.
The backbone of any band is the rhythm section,
bass and drums, laying down the grooves upon which songs are
built. Bass player Deborah "Legs" Lasser is as solid
as they come, and very attractive (especially for a bass player.)
She also fronts her own band, Los Gitanos. The drummer, Bill
Jensen, is a talented and versatile musician. He has played locally
in popular bands including Sector 7G, Third Wheel, Wanda and
Her Assets, and Rockslide.
If you are looking for great music and a good
time give The Kingbees a try.
