The Bobby Lees, along with many other local musicians, performed at the 9th annual Rock-N Folk-N Chili Cook Off. This sold-out show benefitted Horton Records, a local non-profit who works with Oklahoma musicians in order to help promote local musicians on a broader scale. Besides live music, the event had a silent auction, a raffle, live painting and, of course, the chili cook-off, which saw local bands and local restaurants competing against each other.
One of the highlights of this event was a performance by The Bobby Lees. As soon as their raucous set began, a group of people rushed to the stage, head-banging and just having a great time. Tulsa local Sam Quartin wowed the audience with her unhinged stage presence and primal vocals. It’s no mystery why Iggy Pop hails The Bobby Lees as a favorite of his. The band’s newest record, “Bellevue,” is now out and can be streamed on all major music streaming services. We talked to Quartin about her move to Tulsa, the new record and future goals for the band, which can be found at this link
