Vince Lee's band the Big Combo have been swinging the blues around the southwest since late 1996, building a reputation for authentic sounding rhythm and blues and high quality musicianship. This is not your stereotypical blues outfit restricted to a particular style or trend within the music. The Big Combo is influenced by all aspects of the blues spectrum and combines them to create a widely diverse and entertaining live show.

At the forefront of the bands sound is VINCE LEE's swinging guitar and powerful blues voice. He is a strong, soulful vocalist capable of covering a wide range of styles. Not comparable to any one guitarist or blues singer, Vince has absorbed the guitar sounds of the west coast, Louisiana, Mississippi, Chicago & Texas blues traditions. Preferring to be inventive & unpredictable rather than merely imitating past blues guitar heroes. He has assembled an equally experienced rhythm section to compliment his considerable talents.

 On electric bass is AL WALLIS who's warm tone and musical adaptability allow his playing to take on a double bass feel whenever required. From slick walking bass lines to hard driving boogie, Al's playing displays the rare ability to hold down the groove whilst punctuating all the dynamic twists & turns the Big Combo's music demands.

 KEITH RUSSELL's imaginative drum style draws inspiration from many musical cultures to create the perfect backdrop for each song. Switching effortlessly from propulsive foot stomping shuffles to Cuban, Latin, Jazz & African rhythms. The interaction and energy between these three musicians has to be experienced in a live situation to be fully appreciated. They have the ability to produce a big sound without resorting to power trio antics to keep an audience captivated.
