Lee Pons

Lee Pons has signed with Mind Balm Records!

Congratulations, Lee! Lee Pons is representing West Central Florida in the 2010 International Blues Challenge!!! Lee is an extremely talented and avid musician, winning awards and rockin' the keyboard at joints regularly around his home town of Florida. His brand new CD is an excellent showcase of his larger than life abilities, as well as his deeply rooted influences such as Professor Longhair, Dr John, Ray Charles, among others!

Lee was born and raised in the Streets of Tuscaloosa (or someplace like that)! His father, his biggest influence, was a musician with big bands such as Harry Belefonte, Duke Ellington and Danny Kaye. Following in his father's footsteps, by sixteen Lee was already playing in clubs around town and later attended Julliard School of Music, earning 2 degrees. He plays a variety of different instruments and styles of music but his real love is rockin' the 88s playing Jazz and Blues on his keyboards. Lee's deep soul sound and music love came from none other than New Orleans! He avidly played clubs, backrooms and juke joints while he learned all he could about how New Orleans does jazz, blues and R&B. These days, Lee can often be found attracting fans of his rockin' piano from across the country to see him around his home state of Florida!
