Home on the Road: Lee Tyler Post settles into Emancipate
10/04/07 @ 10:07:47 am by archivesadmin

By: Laura Bond

San Diego native Lee Tyler Post is a musician by trade, a gypsy by design. His rare blend of “rock ‘n’ soul” recalls the Southern blues movement while incorporating some classic rock and singer-songwriter elements. Yet, his grassroots approach to making music and his relatable lyrics are what keeps listeners a part of his down-to-earth sounds.

Post’s current tour has him booked until December, but being on the road is not just a way to boost album sales for the self-proclaimed “Traveling Troubadour”; it’s the place he calls home. And home is where Emancipate, the artist’s most recent accomplishment, is being mastered in front of audiences everywhere.

His fifth full-length album, Emancipate was written, engineered, mixed and produced by Post in 2003 at Miracle Something Studios on Winidian Records. Post’s intense voice hits hard from the beginning on the opening track “Vacant,” a passionate sonnet dedicated to his wife. The romantic lyrics “my heart is aching for you,” capture the essence of acoustic soul, while his strained, husky vocals remain reminiscent of rock influence Bruce Springsteen.

Post and fellow band mates constructed a powerful contrast throughout Emancipate by combining a rhythmic acoustic style with twangy electric guitar. Songs such as the second track, “Hurricane,” and track six, “Revisited,” give the album texture by contrasting upbeat rock tempos with a slow Southern blues-influenced harmonica on the latter.

The lyrics are honest and passionate, particularly on songs such as “Thunderclap” where he showcases his vocal range while singing: “Heaven never felt like this/so I know this time this is it.” Post refers to his unique brand of composition as “blue-collar music” as he strives to stay connected with the ordinary troubles of working-class America. Likewise, he never strays far from his own grassroots—the album was recorded on an analog machine using two-inch tape—while he draws from poetic and musical influences such as T.S. Eliot, Walt Whitman, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan.

Post’s tour schedule will land him a spot at The Juggling Gypsy on Castle Street on October 11th at 8pm to promote the upcoming release of his newest record, Half Painted Window on Lost Cat Records. Post, who lists his place of residency as “the road” and whose live show is reportedly “two to three hours without a pause” will definitely bring the same intensity to his show, as is evident on his last album.

Hey everyone! Hope this finds you well and doin fine.

Before i get to the tour info, I want to say It was great seeing those of you who came out to the Del Mar Fair this summer in San Diego. Really made it worth the drive :) Thank you!

I'll miss seeing alot of you and thats a bummer actually, but i'll see you all soon enough. Just need to finish up these albums to have new music for you all. We plan to spend most of next year just touring!

Thanks again for your continued support ...

I don't know Lee Tyler Post personally. I first met him in San Diego at the Acoustic Alliance XI where he performed with 11 other performers in a round robin rotation. Four players would go up on stage at once and each take turns singing three songs each. Each rotation of performers increased the experience and level of talent, so when Lee went up with the last batch he was in good company. Sitting last, he sat quietly as the other three performers each did one song each. The crowd of 200 was all milling about between the music, the bar and the back of the room where the artists merchandise tables were set up. When Lee started his first of three songs, the whole room stopped, turned and listened. His voice was masked by his kind and quiet demeanor but only until he sang. And that is Lee Tyler Post. An amazing performer and kind and gentle soul who is on a journey many of us wish we could experience.

So when Lee contacted me out of the blue saying he was passing through D.C. on his national tour and asked if I could help him with a gig (we were introduced that night by our mutual brother in music, Hot Rod Harris), I jumped at the chance to set something up. By the time he arrived in D.C. in July, I had the D.C. Acoustic Underground (DCAU) up and running, so I took the opportunity to steal a performance with him and decided to open up his show myself. What happened next was really amazing and a true testimony to Lee's music. His wife, Jackie, was setting up his CDs for sale when he was starting his first song and by the time he finished his first song, she had sold three of them. Looking at her I knew she was used to it. That night, Lee sold 14 CDs to people who had never heard of him before that performance. One local singer/songwriter actually came up to him later that night and told him she cried during one of his songs. She told him she was changed and reinvigorated after hearing him. Another regular told me just recently she emailed him a thank you for recommending a movie and everyone wants to know when he's coming back. I am wondering too.

Lee's music is a powerful blend of soul and heart delivered in haunting melodies, on an incredible voice. The lyrics hold your attention as you wait to see where he is taking you. Every song is different. Some have happy endings and some sad and you feel all of it. This is what the DCAU was made for, to bring this experience to D.C. Recently I got a short email from Lee asking how I was doing. Sitting here, typing this and listening to one of your six records, I can tell you Lee, I'm doing just fine. Thank you brother.

I would like to thank everyone who made the final 3 weeks in Seattle so rewarding. I played some really cool places of late. Before i run down those great nights i want to say what a pleasure it was to perform at Bobby & Jenaferre James home. Jackie and I had alot of fun. Thank you for opening your home up to us and for the food, love and friendship. Cori, your words on what my music means to you, i will never forget. Thanks for sharing your heart. Now, I'm gonna forget some people here and mis-spell names but here it goes; Aaron, Collen, Meredith, Suzanne, Risa and friend, Tracy and friend, Chris, Liz, Mark, Mike, Logan, and Mr & Mrs James (bobbys parents). Thank you all.

The Rendevous Theater was great as was the Skylark Cafe (which is an old diner converted into a club). Both had great sound systems. Hearty thanks to Gentry, Jen, Bobby, Heath, Brian, Theo, Red, Matthew, Liz, Mary, Kate Mann (you sounded great), Jordan Booth (good set), Heath, Adam, and Blaine.

The Hot Wire; Alex & Chris (so good to meet you guys), Jody & Doug (pleasure talking with you), Dwayne, Mindy, Eric, and Seri.

Wayward Cafe; Barry and Laurel, Eddie and the couple i cant remember your names, it was looking bleek til you showed up. Thanks.

And Michael who came out to both Borders in Everett and Lynnwood. Thanks pal for all the great words.

I'm off to California to record ... Lee

Returned from my cross country tour and hooked up with my pal Gentry Bronson for 7 nights in Seattle. Now, i knew from his music we'd be a good match sharing bills. And hes just fantastic live. Quite the treat for me because i had only heard him on cds. But he sounds exactly like them. Which = awesome. He has his own style and draws you into his storys. Just a fabulous talent. And on top of being a great musician (hes playing piano on 'gathering the stones' thank you) hes a hell of a guy. We hit if off right away. For those who missed the experience - The shows were great. We took turns going back and forth, song by song and from what we heard, was a awesome show to watch. (it was amazing onstage)Only problem was, seems everyone in seattle was on vacation. To those who were there, Gentry and I thank you for coming out. Buf, Karl, George, Pete, Jade, Robert, Evonne, Ed, Carin, Eddie, PAm, Sandy, Barbara, Steven, (i'll add the rest soon). WE wont forget you guys sticking around.

Gentry and I will embark on a cross country tour next year ... but thats another story!

Review by DJ Shashona:

Lee Tyler Post is one of the finest Artists I have found in years. His smooth as silk voice soothes the restless spirit. His lyrics are heartfelt and masterful. He is the kind of singer that demands your attention without the slightest effort. The audience is mystified and entranced the second his tracks hit the airwaves.

We at www.awesomeradio.net love this mans style and grace. He is a brilliant artist and his CD's are amazing. He is a superstar and doesnt know it yet. -DJ - Shashona

There are just certain stops I make on tour, that I can't wait to play. And these places usually have a certain someone that has a special place in my heart. (Tucson = Geoff Adams) Well, another stop in Tucson, another great night.To my close friends who came out, awesome. Geoff and Lisa (Hunter, Hailey too) just great to see you guys. (Big G, always does my heart well to see you pal). Matt (who's more like my brother), finally dude we hook up. Very nice meeting Diane. Very sweet. Adam (awesome to see you), Amber, Bob, Jen, Summer, my cousins Victor and Olivia, thank you all for coming out. I know there were more of you but I didn't catch your names like I usually do.

Now, I love the Black Rose Caffe. Great venue with amazing food. Mariah (owner) and Demetrius, thank you so much for everything. Jackie and I felt so welcomed. I will see you all in Nov for the CD release of "Gathering The Stones." Yes, you can shoot me if I don't have it....I will.

Played Santa Fe the day before at the 2nd Street Brewery (then drove 8 hrs to Tucson). Those of you listening, thank you...Mom & Dad...LOL. I guess Lee and Happy Hour don't mix anymore ;-)

Next ... my week playing Seattle with Gentry Bronson!

see ya,
Lee

Nothing like them! Fireflies in the air and cricket sounds, love the south. Thunder storms and great stories. The history and aura make me want to move there everytime. So, Thank you Melanie, Andrea, Emily, Randy for making the Borders gig in Charlotte. Pleasure was all mine to play for you. So glad Jackie and I got to finally meet you Mel. Next time, we'll stay longer ok. Michael Yugo, what can i say, awesome bro. Thanks a ton for putting together the show last minute in DC/Alexandria. You were wonderful and I love your music. Janna, Erum, great to meet you all. Many more I know I'm forgetting, but you all were a great audience.

Kyle Jodice, co-owner of Lost Cat Records put on one hell of a house concert in Atlanta for me. Along with Tiffany, Greg, Caleb, Jeri Lee and a whole bunch of folks, thank you guys. Kyle, can't wait for November bro. You treated Jackie and I like family. Proud to be on the label. You and your brother Jerry, class acts and straight shooters. Also got to meet the young group Chasing Katie. (band on the label) You guys sounded great. Adam, Ryan, Billy and Cris - great to meet you all. Really enjoyed talking wth you all. And High Cotton, enjoyed rapping with you guys as well. See you all in Nov. for the huge house concert for all of us.

I also want to thank Eddie of Eddie's Attic in Decatur for picking me as your open mic night winner. Looking forward to the shoot out in Nov. Great host.

Well, I've got my Tucson entry (always a great show and night there) and Seattle shows with Gentry Bronson (he's fantastic) to comment on but i'll save that for tomorrow ... or next week.

Thanks for stopping by,
Lee

Ok, we had a great time in NYC, Jersey and Long Island. Met a ton of folks...I know I'll forget half of the names right now (I'll return when I have more time to put everyone here properly.) Still I must Thank Steven Rodriguez and Julie for putting us up on the island. Greg Love, his pop Bobby, brother Doug, Tim and Melissa, Lucy, Phil, Amy, Indira and Randy, *Jerry* (damn glad to meet you in person), Mary-Anne, Steven (Tania's bro), Lauren, many more I will put here soon. Huge turnout. Great time guys, great time. Greg, you played killer guitar for me and we will for sure record together. Had an amazing time playing with you and Steve (and Lou on percussion, Steve's bro). Spent 10 days and hated to leave. I will never forget this trip. This whole tour has been amazing. Great people and stories. I have been deeply touched by all we've stayed with and hung out with. I feel so lucky to live this life.

I'll probably add stuff to this entry but for now, ya all know who you are...thanks!

Just a great time in Winston-Salem and Greensboro, NC. Big thanks to Bryan Smith and his super cool lady - Sheila for putting us up and showing us real southern hospitality. Had a wonderful time buddie. Borders was fun and got to meet/hear Jim (thin of thick-n-thin), great talent. Jim & Raquel Kimberly (and the kids), Dane, Judy, and those I'm forgetting. The pleasure was all mine meeting you all. Busy store for sure.

Flat Iron Tavern was crazy. Drove through a electrical storm with lightning all around us. Bryan, if that's normal dude, oh my! Finally made it safe to the venue and played from 9 pm until 1:30 am. I want to thank Sheila, Kris, Billy & Melissa, Krystal, and all the others who came out to hear Bryan and I. We had a blast and my throat is still sore from blasting. Great sounding room. Permanent stop on tour from now on. You all made us feel real special. Thank you.

Must mention i saw the coolest house maybe in the state. Larry & Lee Ann, was great meeting you two. What a place you got - wow! Bryan talked me into playing a few songs as well before heading off to a real Mexican Resturant in the south. Almost like home folks...pretty good.

Next stop NYC! Finally ...

Thanks for stopping by, Lee

I'd like to thank my friend Ken Johnson (owner of Kicks Coffee Cafe) for having me out Sunday and allowing me to play for 4 hrs. inside the Super WalMart in Plano, TX. Special thanks to Max Edwards for setting it all up (Max, I'll see you soon brother). Cool things are in the works. I will be the official Artist for Kicks Cafes everywhere. Four more locations are being built (many more to come) and I will be there for the grand openings. As well as every time I pass through. We have a lot of exciting things about to go down...starting to get crazy.

Memphis - What an amazing night of talent over at P & H Cafe last night. Bryan Hayes (superb storyteller), Braden Land (will be a huge name soon people, I promise), and Kelsey Waite (the finest female voice, hell, voice period I have heard in like 20 yrs. Kelsey, you're amazing - what soul) you all were awesome. I will hopefully be making this my offical Memphis stop from now on. Thank you Bob (owner) for having me out and asking me back anytime I pass through. Great place you got. Jo (waitress) thanks for the great serivce. And Bryan, dude, you put on a great showcase. Run great sound. And oh, a pretty damn cool person on top of a great songwriter/artist. Pleasure meeting you and your wonderful wife Angela. Lets do it again man - had a blast. I felt in awe the whole nite.

And Tania, we really enjoyed our stay with you and Scott, and little David my nephew. Missed you Kris my buddie, but we'll be back through in Nov ... Jackie and I love you all.

More exciting news coming...stay tuned!

Thanks for stopping by, Lee

I have posted the complete tour dates for the summer, early fall. (TOUR LINK) Some have been cancelled and some have been added. But barring any unforseen mishaps, this should be it.

Ok, I did not finish my cd up in Montana. I have made plans to finish it in Sept. after the tour at Big Rock Studios. I also have some kinda big news too share with you soon, that will kinda explain the hold-up on both cds. I will be concentrating strickly on finishing "Gathering The Stones" & "Soulturated" from Sept. to New Years. I have some added motivation now. Some really cool things are about to happen ... ;-) Good stuff.

I know alot of you are waiting on the new material. And trust me when i say, i've been working on both cds. These will be very well done and mirror "emancipate" as far as vibe. I have some great talent working with me on these, Claudio Martin, Eric Nielsen, Andy Machin, (Simeon Flick who played on emancipate) and many more. I'm very excited to release both, but i want them right. If it takes until the end of the year, thats ok.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and support of late.

Hope this finds everyone well!

Lee (leaving Montana ...)

Had a great time tonight at the C & P Coffee House. Thank you so much Pete, Cameron, Harold, Katie, Brian, Kris, Dan, Kim, Stephanie and Bill for the great send off. Quite the surprise to see you all when i looked up. Wow. Hope you all enjoy the cds and i'll see you all again August 24th ok. Love this venue. This will end up being my home away from home!

I also want to thank Michelle for the very moving words and support over at the Trabamt Chai Lounge friday. I hope to see you again August 25th!

Off to Montana ... oh my!

Thanks for stopping by ...

Landed in Seattle a few weeks ago and have been floating since. What a great city and unbelievable place. The city is surrounded by water, with mountains that are still snow capped. Got rain 2 days out of 20, but compared to the south, felt like a drizzle. The music scene is second to none as well. Just wrapped up 5 straight nights of shows (rainbow tavern, cnp cafe, trabant lounge, cafe bella, borders), and Its always a drag when its over and i have to take a break. I love to play but after 2 and 3 hours of singing a night, sometimes its good to have a few days off.

I should probably also mention that i've been joined by some fantastic singers of late. Angela Reed joined me at The Trabant Lounge and what a sweet beautiful voice. Full rich tone and great command. Then most recently Jerin Falkner joined me at the Cafe Bella and wow, again, just a beautiful voice. Both these ladys also have great songs. I'm having a great time and the shows have been good, but my time is almost up before i head for the south/east so i'm trying to soak up the Northwest as much as possible. I do return in the fall though to live. Cant wait.

ALso, the Cafe Bella is by far the coolest sounding cafe room in Seattle. Very close to Conor Byrnes in Ballard. Thank you India, Kim, Ben, Orion and Jerin, was a fun night.

I've been very fortunate enough to live this crazy, yet wonderful life with my sweet Jackie by my side. Getting to play some great venues and see this country up close and personal with my best friend. I do believe Seattle is a good fit for both Jackie and I, and for my style of music. But really, the road is where we live.

Got a small break before i have another run of shows so nows a good time to finish up a few tunes.

I'll leave you with my most recent press releases

Review of Lee Tyler Post by Gentry Bronson:

"...Lee Tyler Post is one of those rare finds from the back of a dusty old antique store where under a pile of broken bone china you find a stack of records and each one is brilliant. This man is part demon and part angel and you can hear it in his voice, which rings of many awe inspiring influences. Ian Astbury (The Cult), Chris Cornell (Audioslave/Soundgarden), and Mark Lanegan (The Screaming Trees/Queens Of The Stone Age/The Mark Lanegan Band) vibrate alongside Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard in Lee's soulful, explosive voice.

And his songwriting is all soul, with heavy splashes of torment and bursts of beautiful resurrection. This is a man of the road who's incredibly prolific songwriting reflect his experiences with complete honesty.

Creep inside this man's musical mind straight from the dirt and sweat of the blues and the grit of rock, and you will find some pain, a few tears, and a lot of salvation..."

Thunderclap - Review by Serena Matthews:

"...Now some of you already know Lee, esp. if you know me because I've probably mentioned him. But if you don't know Lee then you should know Lee. You know how sometimes you hear a song and you wonder how you ever just were walking around through life without having heard that before? Well that's how his songs are. For lack of a better word, they are intoxicating.

Lee isn't famous, and I doubt he wants to be, because he is like me in the fact that he doesn't care about things like that, it's all about the music for him. Some people say that and they really don't mean it, but with Lee you can tell he means it and he doesn't even have to say it. But the thing is, he has a huge following and that is because he tours like a bird, migrating from place to place until it feels right to move again and let some different people hear his music.

Lee has this song called "Thunderclap" that is probably the prettiest song I've heard from just about anyone. What happens first is you hear this acoustic guitar intro, and you think "well that is pretty" and then you hear him sing and that's it, you're hooked...

"Was I induced?
I let my guard down to you
Should I indulge in happiness?
A paradise once again
Yes I know this time it could end
I went along giving in"

He'll probably come through your neck of the woods eventually, or nearby, and I swear if he does you should see him perform live. Because hearing his recordings from a speaker, that is one thing, but hearing him live is completely another. It's more like feeling than hearing.

I have to mention his wife Jackie too, because she is his inspiration, his reason for life, you can tell it when you meet them. You know how you meet people sometimes and it feels like you have know them forever and a day already, and without even blinking you know instantly and without a doubt that this is someone truly special? That is Jackie. It's like you're meeting an old friend the first time you meet her. They're both like that. It's a beautiful thing.

Okay well anyway, just go listen to this song. If you don't like it I will not hold it against you, but I will wonder what is wrong with your ears..."


Thanks for stopping by ... Lee

The C N P Coffee Cafe, I really enjoy playing this place. Great sounding room. Thanks George, Harold, Cameron, Pete, Kara and Robert for making me feel at home. See you all again June 10th! Lee

Seattle is just an amazing city. The rain thing is so overrated. Still does not hide the beauty of this magical place. The support for singer songwriters up here is second to none. Alot of cities claim to be like this, but really, this place does. People are out every night to just listen no matter who you are. Its great!

It has been a pleasure meeting/getting to know you all this past few weeks. And performing for you. I really do look forward to the shows, knowing that you have songs you'd like to hear already, and i love playing them for you. Thats the best part. I cant thank you enough for the incredible support you've shown Jackie and I of late. So Thank you again for taking the time to share your evenings with me/us at my shows. Really does means the world to us ~ LTP

Thank you Barbara Buckland for putting together the 1st nite. Terry Robb was awesome and i had fun performing. Great to see you Robert and Randy, been years. Also want to thank Jen, Cori, Meredith and friend for coming out last night.

Next up C N P ...

Played the Columbia Ale House, Shakabrah Java, Borders, The Alley Upstairs (Cafe Alegro), Mr Spots, and the Mandolin Cafe. I must confess, feels damn good to be here. Thank you Jerin Falkner (for setting up the first two shows), Dan, Jennifer, Scott & Katie, Carl, Burr, Lydia, Angela, Pat, Josh, Theresa, Meridith, Barbara Buckland for setting up The Alley, Ginger and Joel, and Pete. I know i'm forgetting alot of people but i'll get to know you all i promise.

Loving the Northwest ... just cant believe theres a city nestled up in these mountains - unreal!

Thanks alot ... Lee

Thanks for the very cool send off everyone. Wy, Leslie Wagner, Bobby, Hot Rod, Brenda, Mike, Donna Budd, Maggie, Gabi, Donna, A. Benita, Jo & Leslie, Mary and Shannon. Anyone i'm forgetting, thank you as well. Artwalk went great and Twiggs has by far the best sounding room in San Diego. Effortless to sing there. Thanks John.

I'm up north and loving it ... drove through Portland and landed in Seattle today. I've been to alot of places but these cities are so beautiful. Sitting next to the ocean surrounded by snow capped mountains. Doesnt get any better than this.
