Teddy Lee Hooker

"Blues makes me feel so good"

At age 5 surrounded by blues musicians like B.B. King, Bobby Blue Bland, and most notably John Lee Hooker, who gave him his first guitar. Through the years that followed he became a lover of Blues as well as Jazz, Funk, Rock, and R&B guitar styles. Biggest influence: John Lee Hooker, T Bone Walker, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, John McLaughlin, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, George Benson, Eddie Van Halen, Prince, Eddie Kramer and good friend Chris Cain. Joined the Musicians Union at age 14 to play with Bebop guitarist Bill DeArango who introduced him to Miles Davis, George Benson and the members of Weather Report in the early 70’s. This had a big impact on him as a young musician. At age 19 he moved to California and met Leo Sayers Drummer Alvin Taylor who turned him on to countless studio sessions. This experience further shaped his writing and playing style. He toured the country and overseas for 15 years with many artists and began working behind the scenes as an engineer tracking, editing, producing, and mixing. He has now returned to his Blues roots after surviving open heart surgery. Playing and singing what God has always led him to do. But this time with a heavy emphasis on his John Lee Hooker influence. Just call me Teddy Lee. Teddy Lee just won the 2005 SOUTHBAY MUSIC AWARDS BEST BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR! This starts a new chapter in his life sure to be filled with lots of guitar and blues.
