CAlvin Lee Official
Welcome to the Official YouTube channel Alvin Lee that has been created by his family. Born in Nottingham, England. Alvin Lee began playing guitar aged 13 & formed the core of the band Ten Years After by aged 15. Originally influenced by his parent's collection of jazz & blues records, it was the advent of rock & roll that truly sparked his interest & creativity with guitarists like Chuck Berry & Scotty Moore providing his inspiration. With Lee as guitarist, singer & songwriter, TYA first toured America in 1968 at the invitation of legendary 'Fillmore' promoter Bill Graham. Audiences were immediately taken with the band's innovative mix of blues, swing, jazz & rock alongside Lee's distinctive, soulful, rapid fire guitar playing. His virtuoso performance at Woodstock, captured on film in the documentary of the festival, remains a standard today for many guitarists & continues to introduce him to new music fans all over the world. Thank you for sharing and keeping him in your hearts.
