Local rock-n-roll band  Dynamo JUMP welcomes ALBERT LEE, one of the BEST guitar players of all time!!

This Two Time Grammy Award winner has received numerous awards for his playing, including five time consecutive winner of Guitar Player Magazine's "Best Country Guitarist" and was rightfully inducted into the "Musician's Hall of Fame" in Nashville.

Albert has shared the stage or toured with one of the most impressive lists of music greats; Brad Paisley, Bo Diddley, The Crickets, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Earl Scruggs, Jerry Lee Lewis, Joe Cocker, Vince Gill, Willie Nelson and so, so many more.

Lee is known within the music industry as the "Guitar players guitar player" for his technical virtuosity and speed of playing and yet one of the most musical and melodic, playing slower passages approximating the sound of the pedal steel guitar with his Music Man and Telecaster guitars. His amazing talent shines with his ability to enrich any genre from country - to straight rock-n-roll.

Albert Lee and his band, "Hogan's Heros," recently made their first US appearance on the East coast and tours regularly in Europe.
