Local favorite guitarist, Lee Dynes returns to his hometown with yet another fantastic musical project. Lee has teamed up with San Francisco jazz vocalist & pianist, Amanda Addleman, for a run of shows in the Dayton area. This talented duo will be drawing on the standards of the Great American Songbook as well as a selection of pop and original music. Together they create a performance that is a striking combination of beautiful melodies and virtuosic improvisation.
Tipp City native, Lee Dynes has continued to achieve major musical milestones since moving to Boston, MA to study guitar performance and composition on a full scholarship from Berklee College of Music. He quickly became noted for his unique and passionate guitar style and had opportunities to perform at premier jazz venues across the country with great reviews, “Dynes guitar work roars across traditional jazz guidelines. You can hear the Metallica he listened to during his boyhood in the way he makes his hollow-body electric sound like an entire band.” (Isthmus Daily, Madison WI, 2011). Recently, Lee signed with Jazz Revelation Records to record his original tune for the compilation CD, Octave, presenting the finest jazz composers at Berklee. A recent review of his composition said, “Dynes is a wonderful writer and guitarist and his original tunes feature both his progressive, compositional voice and his acrobatic guitar playing.” (BIRN, Boston, MA, 2011).
Amanda Addleman’s interest in voice and piano started at a very young age and now she is an established artist in the San Francisco area. She received her bachelor’s degree in Vocal Performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston, after four years of total immersion in jazz and vocal practice. Upon completion of her degree, she began working in the bay area as a singer, pianist, arranger, composer and educator with an increasingly impressive list of venues including a long residency at the beautiful Palace Hotel. In addition to her live performances, Amanda is currently working on her first studio record, Aglow, slated for release very soon.
