Finger Lakes Country Music Festival

Lee Brice is a country music singer and guitarist. Very unpretentious, which is nice to see as country has become more prominent and musicians have often become more akin to rock stars than the down to earth roots of their genre.

Brice often appears in jeans and a short or a casual sweater with his trademark reverse black cap.Great to see in a smaller venue as he produces a very close and intimate performance often taking the time to talk to the crowd. You really want to be quite close to see his infectious smile as he performs - you can tell that this is a musician who truly loves his craft and lives to play. Make no mistake, the performance is excellent no matter the venue but it pays to be in a smaller setting to feel his power and passion.

The music is powerful and Brice's passion shines through his strong voice that still manages to come off as rich and full, not coarse or overwhelming or booming. Although their music differs a bit, the closest singer I can think of who produces such deep and rich vocals is Darius Rucker, mostly from his Hootie and the Blowfish days. Even if you're not a country fan, you will likely love to see this man perform. Definitely worth checking out.
