Candy Lee is an award winning, “golden voiced” singer/songwriter who combines her love for folk, jazz, and indie music to create her own original style. The first thing you’ll notice when you hear Candy Lee is her voice: timeless, entrancing, and ethereal. She pulls you in with her sweet, catchy melodies and moving music, but it is her smart, creative lyrics that deserve a second listen. When she plays with her full band, Candy Lee & The Sweets, the band helps to create a more funky and psychedelic sound, which sets the mood for the main attraction of sultry three part female vocal harmonies.
