2x Grammy Award-winning British guitarist Albert Lee has played with everyone from Jerry Lee Lewis to Eric Clapton, to The Everly Brothers to Emmylou Harris. He was a member of The Crickets in the post-Buddy Holly era, and forged an impressive solo career along the way.
Celebrated by fans and musicians the world over for his fingerstyle and hybrid picking technique, Albert is a multiple recipient of Guitar Player Magazine’s “Best Country Guitarist.” Albert Lee is known for his speed of playing and his technical virtuosity but is also one of the most melodic players. He’s often referred to as “the guitar player’s guitar player.” His song “Country Boy” helped to redefine country guitar for a whole generation of players and was later to become a #1 hit for multi-instrumentalist Ricky Skaggs. In 2011, a summer jaunt with guitarist John Jorgenson prompted Albert to form his own U.S. band for the very first time, and to this day, he maintains a robust solo career and continues to tour with his great band, selling out venues from coast to coast.
Albert is out on the road in 2025/2026 performing tracks from his latest album, "Lay It Down," recorded at the legendary Konk Studios in London.
From Mark Knopfler's blistering “Setting Me Up” to Jimmy Webb's soaring piano ballad, “Too Young To Die,” to The Everly Brothers' storming hit “The Price Of Love,” Albert's latest album sees his triumphant return to the studio, recording live, as one of the greatest guitarists ever.
