Country music favorite and local legend, Jamie Lee Thurston comes back to Essex, VT for one night only! Friday, September 20th from 7-10:30 PM.
Thurston is a former Warner Bros. recording artist, and EMI songwriter. His first foray on the Billboard Country Charts was as a “hot-shot” debut artist with a song he wrote called, “It Can All Be Gone”, which was also a top #3 video. He went on to have hits with his songs for other artists, like the #16 hit “15 Minutes” for country star Rodney Atkins, and #1 song in Texas, “Livin’ The Good Life” He’s also had his songs recorded by Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry, and Chris Cagle. He has written with many of Nashville’s “who’s who” of songwriters that also includes the Grammy Award winning superstar Chris Stapleton. His own latest trip up the charts was the top #30 “Givin’ Up Breathin’”, co-written and produced by Thurston.
JLT has performed on the Grand Ole Opry stage, played sold out shows in Europe, and played shows with some of country music’s greatest talents that include: Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley, Jake Owen, Travis Tritt, Billy Currington, Charlie Daniels, and Dixie Chicks just to name a few. Thurston is not only a hit songwriter and powerful singer, he also happens to be an electrifying guitar player, music producer, and a rare, natural born entertainer. In his own words, “I’m more comfortable on stage, than off. His unique blend of Honky-Tonk, Southern Rock, Country, and straight up Rock and Roll, is a sound all it’s own.
Now, Jamie Lee is adding “Hollywood movie” to his resume. The feature film will be a true story about his life in the music industry and growing up with a Rock n’ Roll Dad. Production started in late 2023, with plans for a nationwide promotional tour to go with it.
With nine albums to his credit, Thurston’s story is one of endurance and triumph over adversity. His natural born gift of entertaining thrills the newest of fans, and continues to captivate his core fan base.
For all you music lovers out there, if you get a chance to see JLT in action….. that is one show you don’t want to miss!
