Ten Years After, with dynamic front man Alvin Lee, was born of the second British Blues invasion and from 1966 to 1975 they rocked their way into musical history. From the Midlands of England to a residency at London's famed Marquee Club to the Fillmore West in San Francisco, Ten Years After's ride to fame was built on some of the finest and most innovative blues/jazz/rock music being offered. Catapulted into superstardom as a result of the 1969 Woodstock Festival, Alvin's Lee's dazzling performance in front of nearly 500,000 rock fans is still considered a standard by which other rock guitarists judge themselves.

Lee still records and performs worldwide. « hide |
