Lee Roy Parnell


Levitt Pavilion Arlington

A Texas triple threat of blue-eyed soul, roadhouse rock and Southern boogie!

Lee Roy Parnell is part of a long line of Texas roots-music eclectics and is among the few artists who can be identified as a triple threat. An ace guitarist, as well as a distinctive singer and hit songwriter, his music runs the gamut of diversity. Combining the influences of blue-eyed soul, Delta blues, road house rock, Southern boogie, Texas swing and gospel, Lee Roy’s sound defies conventional classification. He draws from a broad range of musical sources and combines them with seamless dexterity and, unlike many other hard-to-pigeonhole artists, Lee Roy has enjoyed a run of success on the country and blues charts. His most recent album, Midnight Believer, includes the artists Lee Roy has performed with for 20 years with a handful of friends for good measure.
