Lee Evans is a natural born musician. He brings passion, authenticity and timelessness to his musical creations.

After over a decade on the road playing in the “Madison Square Gardens” and hottest clubs of virtually every major city nationwide, Lee embarked on several world tours, earning international recognition for his musical abilities. But sadly, the road was really starting to take its toll on him and his family, by not allowing him to spend the much-needed quality “family time” and eventually splitting them apart. Lee Evans then decided not to go on any more lengthy tours. He stood by his word by turning down an opportunity to tour internationally as the opening act for Madonna’s "La Isla Bonita" World tour.
