experience with different groups over the years with varying degrees of success. They came together to create a blend of sounds ranging from blues and

to follow her dreams. Since 2008, Lisa Cee has been the leader of the house band for the prestigious Gibson Guitar Lodge at the renowned Sundance Film

145th Street is a Killer Blues Band! Their music is driven by raw expressive vocals, exceptional harmonica, passionate, blazing guitar, and wailing,
honking saxophone with rhythm section that is spirited and tight. 145th Street keeps The Blues personal, current and vital. Whether we are playing a
hard driving Chicago shuffle, gettin' down with a steamy slow blues, or funkin' it up, we do it with flair, taste and excitement.
