TOBY LEE | Future Yard | Future Yard

EVENTS 471 PRESENTS

Labelled ‘out of this world’ by Jools Holland, blues guitarist Toby Lee performs at Future Yard on Thursday 9th August, brought to Birkenhead by Events 471.

Still just 20-years-old, Toby Lee is already a three-time winner of Young Blues Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards – yet the virtuoso guitarist is only getting started. Praised as a remarkable talent by the likes of Jools and Joe Bonamassa, 2024 represented a big breakthrough year as Toby released his new album ‘House On Fire’.

Tickets on sale now.

‘House On Fire’ is Toby’s first set of all-original material and follows his 2021 debut Aquarius which spent two weeks at #1 on the UK Jazz & Blues Album Chart. As you’d expect from someone that The Times hailed as, “One of the best guitarists in Britain,” his six-string talents dazzle throughout with a rich tapestry of scorching leads, evocative melodies and swaggering grooves. Yet his vocals have come on leaps-and-bounds, his maturity and emotional expression providing a voice strong enough to front a band regardless of his guitar skills.

His songs and stylistic scope have expanded too, with a set that moves seemingly effortlessly between classic blues jams, punchy hard rock, intimate acoustic moments and a modernist approach to classic soul and Stax-style R&B.
