Lee Bains III will perform at 7pm on Tuesday, January 27 at the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts Studio Theater as part of the Music of the South Concert Series.  Tickets are $10 and will be available from the UM Box Office at the door.

Lee Bains III is a songwriter from Birmingham, Alabama, currently living in Atlanta, Georgia. Lee and his band the Glory Fires released their second full-length record, Dereconstructed, on Seattle’s Sub Pop Records in May of 2014. The album finds Bains wrestling with questions of identity, culture, and history through a highly personal, politicized, localized (and distinctly Southern) lens. Dereconstructed was heralded by the likes of the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Bitter Southerner, Uncut, and the Guardian. When Lee isn’t writing, or hauling it across the globe with his gang of Alabamians, terrorizing live sound engineers and invigorating fans and new listeners alike from Minneapolis to Oslo, he can be found fixing toilets, reading Salman Rushdie, or watching Auburn football.
