The Lee Boys

The Lee Boys are an African-American family gospel group from the Miami, Florida area. They play and sing in the House of God tradition, where the moaning, screaming and crying sound of the electric steel guitar reins supreme. Popularly known today as “Sacred Steel Style of Music,” the House of God tradition dates back to the 1930s when brothers Willie and Troman Eason introduced the instrument to the church’s music-driven, celebratory worship services. The Lee family boasts three generations of compelling steel guitarists. The band members have all been making music in church since they were seven or eight years of age.
