Toby’s debut all-original album ‘House On Fire’ received serious praise on&nbsp;its release in October, an impressive, well-rounded collection&nbsp;highlighting Toby Lee's versatility as well as virtuosity” (Mojo). Toby’s&nbsp;2021 debut ‘Aquarius’ spent two weeks at #1 on the UK Jazz &amp; Blues Album&nbsp;Chart. As you’d expect from someone that The Times hailed as, *“One of the&nbsp;best guitarists in Britain,” *his six-string talents dazzle throughout with&nbsp;a rich tapestry of scorching leads, evocative melodies and swaggering&nbsp;grooves. Yet his vocals have come on leaps-and-bounds, his maturity and&nbsp;emotional expression providing a voice strong enough to front a band&nbsp;regardless of his guitar skills.&nbsp; Toby Lee’s talents have been recognised by an array of legends. When he was&nbsp;10, a get well soon video that he made for BB King went viral, leading to&nbsp;an invitation from the blues legend’s family to play at his club in&nbsp;Memphis, while the late Bernie Marsden was an early mentor and champion. He&nbsp;subsequently shared the stage with the likes of Buddy Guy, Joe Bonamassa,&nbsp;Slash, Billy Gibbons and Peter Frampton, while enjoying other high profile&nbsp;moments, such as starring in a West End production of ‘School of Rock’, performing with&nbsp;McFly on ‘Tonight at the London Palladium’ and being a guest on ‘The Ellen&nbsp;DeGeneres Show’. Toby has now exceeded 500 million views on social media.&nbsp; His ability has been recognised with numerous endorsements. He has been a&nbsp;Gibson artist since the age of 10, and a recent highlight came when he&nbsp;helped launch Gibson’s custom Jeff Beck ‘YardBurst’ 1959 Les Paul Standard&nbsp;alongside fellow guests including Jimmy Page, Johnny Depp and Graham Coxon.&nbsp;Blackstar Amplification issued his own signature amp, the St James Toby Lee&nbsp;50 6L6 head and cab, and he is also endorsed by D’Addario Strings.&nbsp; This year’s live highlights have included electrifying the acoustic stage&nbsp;at Glastonbury, headlining the Thrill Blues Festival in Croatia, and&nbsp;playing France’s guitar all-star Guitare en Scène festival. But the biggest&nbsp;moment has come with his connection to Jools Holland. He has toured&nbsp;extensively with Jools in the UK and internationally over 66 shows as Jools’s&nbsp;youngest ever featured artist joining him on-stage to play ‘House On Fire’&nbsp;alongside other selections.&nbsp;
