Austinist Show Preview: Lee Simmons @ Flipnotics

Singer-songwriter Lee Simmons’ debut full-length, Sometimes Fools, is a welcome collection of insightful lyrics and memorable melodies. Now a veteran of the Austin coffeeshop, Simmons moved from San Francisco a few years ago and has found new inspiration in family life and the capitol city. Tightly knit pop is Simmons' forte, and he delivers live with plenty of warmth and sincerity. Simmons will be joined on stage by Jeff Moore, Kevin Remme and David McPherson. Additional support from multi-instrumentalist Kullen Fuchs, and occasional nuances by John Leon on the pedal steel make for an eclectic evening. Simmons has already started work on his next album, but might still be convinced to play his colorful cover of “Billie Jean.” For free.
