LEE ROLFESLee Rolfes developed a love for music early on and, like a lot of kids, played in a rock band in high school. But unlike a lot of kids, music became a vital part of his life as he reached adulthood. In 2000, Lee moved to Nashville where he continued to hone his skills, making frequent trips back to Cincinnati to record and perform with Bucket. Along the way, he released another solo record, Further Down the Line.Through the years he has connected with esteemed bluegrass and country musicians in and around Nashville. Those connections shine brightly on Lee’s latest recording, a solo effort entitled A Far Cry From Your Troubles. The record reveals a diverse batch of Americana songs ranging from bluegrass to rock ‘n roll with some folk- and soul-tinged tunes to round things out. The songs cover a diverse range of topics including misery, love, leaving, lullabies, flying girls and a 40-foot Jesus. Players on the record include the likes of Mike Bub (former member of The Del McCoury Band and five-time I.B.M.A. bass player of the year), Jason Carter (Del McCoury Band and five-time I.B.M.A. fiddle player of the year), Jimmy Lester (drummer for Webb Wilder, Los Straight Jackets, Billy Joe Shaver) and Terry Eldredge (Dolly Parton, Larry Cordle, The Grascals) to name a few.
