About this concert
In addition to receiving two New England Music Awards nominations, Poor Monroe has enjoyed a tremendous break out year, with performances including the Green River Festival, Podunk Bluegrass fest, Ossippee Valley Music Fest, Basin Bluegrass Festival, and the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Special. That’s no small feat, considering the band was formed in the spring of 2021! Drawing from distinct musical paths, this energetic group of seasoned players bring a unique approach to their performances, delivering unmistakably tight vocal harmonies and scorching tempos that form the benchmark of the genre. Featuring songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Eric Lee, guitarist Sean Davis, bassist Gareth Buckley, banjoist Chris Boucher, and mandolinist John Benjamin, Poor Monroe is a collaboration of long-time friends whose dedication and expertly-honed performances catch the attention of all audiences.
Performing original and traditional material with a deep sense of honoring the legacy of bluegrass music, this group of fiscally-bereft but spirit-full individuals shows how a love of music and good sense of humor can transcend trying times.

Eric Lee Biography
“In this brave new world of song, Eric Lee sings and writes gems of truth with a new kind of language, and whose energetic performances are subtly captivating” - Eric Andersen
Eric Lee shapes songs with stand-alone melodies and rich musical backdrops. From the personal to the sublime, they range from tales of honkey-tonk heartache, to anthems of social consciousness, and are told with a language of poetic and raw honesty. Lee draws from a well of uncommon musical depth, having worked professionally in recording studios, festival stages, and on the road with acclaimed artists in both folk and bluegrass (The Kennedys, Eric Andersen, Peter Rowan,) since his late teens, and he commands the stage with the seasoned ease of a veteran performer.
