Details:
Jamie Lee Thurston leaves nothing to chance. â¦and itâs not by chance, but by choice, that music is his life.
A true heart, Jamie Lee acts and performs with conviction. People who know him personally will tell you heâs âjust a really good guy;â
those who know him âround the rowâ will tell you âhe plays a mean guitar.â
Jamie Lee is BIGâBIG on personality and heâs a BIG talent. A 100-proof, authentic and talented vocalist, guitar player and
songwriter, Jamie Lee Thurston is the definition of artist. With a baritone voice that is deep and rich, he sings with heart and soul. He
delivers a tender ballad with as much heart and conviction as a kick-ass tune. Described as a âpowerhouse,â itâs been said, âthere are
none better out there.â
Jamie Lee is a seasoned, mature artist who is an artist by heritage. Heâs testosterone countryâbig ruckus country. Heâs a mover and
a shaker on stageâan honest performer who puts it in gear and just drives. Injected with adrenaline, Jamie Leeâs got itâ¦he pours it
on to give itâ¦with everything heâs got. With attitude, charisma and sex appeal, Jamie Lee lays it down in a captivating performance
that commands attention.
Jamie Lee Thurston grew up in New England, the son of divorced parents and the youngest of three childrenâthe baby brother of
two sisters.
His talent wasnât something that he just âpicked up;â it was handed down. A third generation musician, Jamie Leeâs father was a
renowned bandleader fronting a variety of musical groups in Vermont throughout his childhood, his grandfather and great uncle
played fiddle and his uncle played piano. Music is in the Thurston blood.
Jamie Lee made his first appearance performing on his fatherâs lap at the age of three. As a teenager, Jamie Lee worked as a roadie for
his dadâs band; right after high school, he graduated to play guitar in the band. âMy dad had guitars lying around the house, I used to
strap them on as a kid, turn the stereo up really loud and just bang on the thing. His guitar players spent some time showing me
chords and riffs and I just kind of moved on from there.â
Walking softly in his fatherâs footsteps but with the charge of a warrior to carry on the family name, Jamie Lee moved on to make a
name that stood alone. The self-taught guitarist literally grew up playing in bars and clubs across the Northeast and Canada. âI went
to road school and learned by living it.â His name resounded beyond the Green Mountain State. Heâs opened for the Dixie Chicks,
Sara Evans, Charlie Daniels, Mark Chesnutt and Colin Rayeâ¦and the list goes on. He was named Entertainer of The Year by the
Vermont Country Music Association in 1987.
Jamie Lee traveled to and from Nashville for a number of years to test the waters. His quest led him to become a finalist in the True
Value/Coca Cola Country Showdown and the Nashville Entertainment Associationâs Country Challenge. He appeared on Country
Today (The Nashville Network) and the Charlie Daniels Talent Round-up. Jamie moved to Music City in 1997.
He scored a writing deal with EMI Music Publishing and a place on the Warner Bros. Records artist roster (2003) where he worked
with Chuck Howard to co-produce his first major label CD. The project was shelved in the labelâs corporate shift. Despite being lost
in the corporate shuffle, Jamie Lee stood firm and confident in himself and his music. âIf itâs in you, itâs not something you can give
up. It wasnât an option to do anything else.â
Jamie Leeâs got the stuffâthe stuff that works to make him a career artistâhe writes, he sings and he performs his own music. Itâs
stuff thatâs lived in like an old favorite pair of boots thatâs seen a lot of miles. His music is simplistic in style, lyrically and sonically. âI
want to tell a story with lyrics that is easily interpretedâ¦and thatâs just the way I am. No one ever has to wonder what Iâm thinking,
because I just tell it like it is!â A veteran on stage, he is in control. As an entertainer and skillful guitar player, he is magnetic. âItâs not
what you play, itâs how you play it and itâs not what you say, itâs how you say it.â
Filling the gap between Hank Jr. and Molly Hatchet, Jamie Leeâs music, unfiltered, doesnât follow the country music rule of thumb.
âYou become what you listen to. I grew up listening to Lynrd Skynyrd, ZZ-Top, AC/DC, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, George
Jones and Hank Jr. Iâve played pop, rock, country and Top 40 Music. The infusion of music that you listen to becomes you. No
matter if itâs an up-tempo rocker or a slower ballad, my music is a reflection of who I am.â Jamie Lee can move you to turn a bottle of
tequila upside down and join the party or sneak off to spend some time alone.
. The solely produced project contains 11 co-writes with renowned song
crafters and hit makers George Teren, Vip Vipperman, David Lee Murphy, Rivers Rutherford, Porter Howell, Tommy Conners and
J. B. Rudd.
âI didnât set out to make a sound. I just do what I do. Thereâs nothing contrived. I just do my thing.â
His artistry is his lifestyle, not his fancy. Jamie Leeâs sound is lived in.
