About Me

Gig Review (Bullet Bar)

Lee Thompson was down to headline the show with his band, but instead performed a solo acoustic set as the penultimate performer. This South African singer/songwriter is certainly a force to be reckoned with in his field, and an artist that I am convinced will be big very soon with the right exposure. He is a brilliant singer and guitarist with clear diction that emphasises the very accessible lyrics of his songs. I have to say that there was not a bad one among them, and his encore performing the Otis Redding/Black Crowes classic “Hard to Handle” was awesome. Check this guy out, with or without his band. - Peter Coulston Backstage Pass

EP Review:

If “The Best In Me” is a preview, I can’t wait for the main feature. The four tracks you get here are endearingly simple pieces of songwriting that you can’t help but wish lasted a bit longer.

I couldn’t help but be reminded of David Gray or even a more intelligible Dave Matthews the first time I listened to this EP’s understated songwriting, reverb-soaked acoustic guitars, and catchy lead-lines and progressions. There’s nothing overly flashy here, and that’s a good thing. It’s just good songwriting, strong vocals, and warm acoustic sound.

My one complaint would be that this sounds like one of those albums that you put on and hear the artist really say something to you, but the EP format leaves you wishing there was more. And let’s face it – if Thompson’s biggest problem is that you can’t get enough of his music, he’ll have quite a career ahead of him. - Laney Tarnius Music Inc.
