Toby Lee – UK Tour 2027
Toby Lee has swiftly emerged as one of the brightest young talents within the British guitar and singer-songwriter scene, captivating audiences with his masterful blend of blues, rock, and country-inflected storytelling. Born in 2005, Toby’s musicianship and emotive vocals have earned him international recognition from a remarkably early age.

His approach melds intricate guitar work with a soulful tenderness, bridging genres and creating a compelling musical experience. Toby first captured widespread attention with a tribute video to B.B. King that went viral, leading to stages shared with legends like Joe Bonamassa and Peter Frampton. Beyond impressive guitar solos, Toby’s music offers genuine emotion and storytelling that echo through his live performances.
The tour encompasses selections from his acclaimed debut album House on Fire (2024), a collection that perfectly showcases his dexterity and vocal depth across a spectrum of blues, rock, and soul influences. This album cements his position as a formidable new voice whose songwriting and playing appeal to both blues purists and country enthusiasts looking for authenticity and spirit in modern roots music.
