Drawing from influences such as country, soul, swing, rock, and jam music, AJ Lee and Blue Summit uses the lens of bluegrass as a vessel through which to express and explore the thread that binds and unifies all great music. Led by singer, songwriter, and mandolinist, AJ Lee, the bluegrass band made their first appearance in Santa Cruz in 2015 and has since performed all over the world, finding home in California’s Bay Area.

The latest full length project, I’ll Come Back, debuted August 2021 - with national touring in support of the record ongoing. Although falling loosely under the bluegrass label, AJLBS generally plays sans banjo, with Sullivan Tuttle and Scott Gates on steel stringed acoustic guitars, AJ on mandolin, Jan Purat on fiddle, and Chad Bowen on upright bass - a configuration effectively used to create unique space and texture in the arrangements not as commonly found in the music of their peers.
