Cactus Lee

Cactus Lee is the Austin-based songwriting project of Kevin Dehan, whose music spans blues, country and folk. The act plays at The Glad Cafe in Glasgow.

Cactus Lee is the name under which Kevin Dehan, an Austin songwriter, releases music. Steeped in Texas country and folk, Dehan's work takes in influences including Townes Van Zandt, Gene Clark, John Prine and Tom T. Hall, filtered through a sensibility that is childlike and dreamy as well as sharply witty.

The catalogue includes six albums, two EPs and a live record. The releases were self-written and self-recorded on a four-track before being brought to life with rotating Austin musicians. The latest album, Lee's Dream, released on Western Vinyl, was conceived on a month-long solo tour and recorded with producer Billy Horton. Its imagery is rooted in Texas, with references to Lone Star beer, the Armadillo World Headquarters and the open roads between small towns.

The music spans blues, country and folk. The concert takes place at The Glad Cafe, a Glasgow venue that hosts concerts and shows.
