Edgar Allen Lee was born and raised in the beautiful Sequatchie Valley of East Tennessee. Growing up in the Southern Cumberland Mountain region of Tennessee exposed Edgar at an early age to a rich tradition of Appalachian Mountain Music. His grandfather was a fiddler and his father was an excellent buck dancer, spoon player, and storyteller. Edgar's songs & stories take you back in time to a simpler way of life. One listener wrote, "The quality of the recording is superb -- so pure & authentic. Love the song arrangement, the narration .... you put a lot of heart & soul into this project, brother." We hope you enjoy the music of Edgar Allen Lee!
