Gabe Lee at Eddie's Attic

From the venue:

Gabe Lee live at Eddie's Attic!

Storytelling has been an anchor of Lee's music since the very beginning. He launched his career as a genre - bending musician after returning to Tennessee, quickly progressing from dive bar gigs to high - profile opening slots (including shows with Jason Isbell, Los Lobos, and other artists who, like him, blurred the lines between roots - rock, country, and other forms of American folk music) to his own headlining shows. Throughout it all, he drew upon the narrative skills he'd sharpened as a student. If albums like Honky - Tonk Hell and The Hometown Kid often unfolded like autobiographical entries from his road journal, then Drink the River shows an even broader range of his storytelling abilities. Lee isn't just writi ng songs about himself; he's writing songs about all of us. And maybe, in doing so, he can bring us a little closer together.
