Lee Tyler Post Bio
Post's musical landscape ranges from Acoustic Soul, to Roots Rock, to Southern Blues, with a splash of Adult Alternative. His lyrics convey stories of everyday people. He calls it "Rock N Soul." Starting out as a San Diego based artist in the mid 90s, Lee opened for the likes of Missing Persons & Blink 182. Followed were live TV appearances on The KUSI & KNSD Morning Shows. In 1999 Lee relocated to Nashville, TN where he honed his craft playing alongside such greats as Tony Lane.
Over the past 5 years, LTP has built a reputation as a road warrior with his blue-collar approach. Performing 150-200 shows a year - and driving 25,000-40,000 miles annually. He has also released 5 studio albums during this period. His tours, which some call a "perpetual tour", take him through cities as far away as Seattle, NYC, Tampa, San Diego, and everywhere inbetween! Lee has also lived/performed in Austin, Nashville, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Seattle.
Always eager to lend his time and talents to charitable causes, Lee has performed at benefits for M.A.D.D., the M.S. Society, and The Ramona Cancer Resource Center. As well as at benefit fundraisers for camps for seriously ill children like The Victory Junction Gang Camp owned by Kyle Petty, the racecar driver. Along with Bikers Who Care/Toys for Tots to help under privileged children. And most recently for The Heartland Psychosocial Rehabilitation Center in San Diego, CA!
Lee’s marathon live performances (sometimes 2-3 hr sets without pause) have been described by his fans as "an Emotional Roller-Coaster," "Passionate, Powerful and Moving," "Honest & Pure," and "Intense and Straight from the Heart.” His down-to-earth on-stage persona compliments his dynamic voice and electrifying shows.
Currently Lee resides in San Diego, CA where he is finishing up his next 2 releases, "Gathering The Stones" & "Soulturated" at Big Rock Studios. He will then embark on a coast-to-coast Spring & Summer tour in 2007 to promote both albums!
This quote might best describe Lee and his music: "...Post's sound is as much Springsteen and Van Morrison as it is Otis Redding and Al Green: blue-collar heartland grit mixed with Motor City soul..." The San Diego Troubadour

"...Lee's fairly new in Nashville still, but he's a great example of how quickly people get to know you if you really bring talent to town. His very strong rock voice will remind you of the great classic rock singers, but it's hard to place which one. It's like the best sounds from all your favorites were blended into one very strong sound. As country moves more in the direction of rock and soul, Lee's songs and style go ahead and just kick that door open. His 5 CD's have a classic sound, and you'll want to be ready to take one or more home with you..." 2nd Wednesdays by Don Mcnatt Nashville,TN

CD Review
Life Without Fences
by Simeon Flick of The San Diego Troubadour
January 30, 2008
A Helluva Hooky Way to Work Things Out!
Lee Tyler Post is working a lot of things out on this record...but you won't notice the pathos while you're first being drawn in by the engrossing music and the utterly memorable monster hooks. This is ideal music for a quiet night, or for a road trip, with your soul as the subtext destination. This record may not grab you right away, but after a few listens the songs will reach in and take hold, which is symptomatic of a classic recording. What's also symptomatic is when the songs transcend their instrumentation; much more seems to be conveyed by these bare-bones guitar and vocal arrangements than would seem possible.
It's always the small things, and on 'Life Without Fences' they're the skillfully layered nuances; a little harmonica here, second guitar and/or vocal there...all of the layering perfectly serves the well-written songs. There's a lot of soul in these tracks, which seem to channel several genres into one new and different one, about as close to one's own sound as one can get and still be listenable. There's a lot of heartland grit and motor city soul, and one could use or refrain from using the term "country," since it seems to apply in some respects, but is ultimately too limiting to this music.
Post's huge voice cuts to the quick on every track. He runs circles around Springsteen on the epic opener, 'Vagabond', and goes bigger than Tom Waits on the we're-not-in-Kansas-anymore sojourn of 'Contemplation'. The stand-out cut is 'Sara', which was perormed live in the studio and gets even more intimate than the other songs, if you can believe that. This song is akin to someone like Otis Redding or Al Green singing on a front porch in Tennessee, and his words are cut-to-the-quick introspective: "I know it's hard when you're living all alone/Sometimes this world's so cruel/But the world's only cruel when you're living like a fool/And baby, that's exactly what you do" 'Life Without Fences' is classic stuff, and until you own it you'll be less alive.
