Austin-based soul artist Curtis Lee performs with The Sugar Trio at The Saxon Pub - Airport, blending neo-soul, funk, jazz and R&B.
Curtis Lee and The Sugar Trio play The Saxon Pub - Airport on Tuesday, October 6, with the set starting at 4 PM. It's a mid-afternoon slot, so you can catch it and still have your whole evening ahead of you.
Curtis Lee is an Austin-based soul artist, and his sound pulls from a few different places at once: neo-soul, funk, jazz and R&B. He moves between upbeat and slow, and he's known for a very active, vibrant stage presence. He's also one of those performers who can lean into a jazzier style without losing the room, and he's working toward becoming a prominent original soul artist.
His influences cover a wide stretch of soul and pop. On the smoother side, there's Michael Jackson, Babyface and Maxwell. On the funkier end, you've got James Brown, Phonte, Al Green and Stevie Wonder. And then there's Jeff Buckley, which explains the more melodic, expressive side of his singing. When you hear those names together, you get a sense of where he's coming from: a mix of polished R&B, raw funk and a bit of singer-songwriter sensibility.
