AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Aimee Lefkowicz

Having started playing together as teenagers in California, AJ Lee & Blue Summit possess an appealing blend of youthful zeal and seasoned musicianship that helps the group stand out in the Americana and bluegrass scene. The tunes on the band’s 2024 album City of Glass showcases both sharp musicianship and a classic sense of storytelling songwriting. The fact that the band doesn’t have a sole songwriter gives a sense of variety to the proceedings as Lee (mandolin), Scott Gates (guitar) and Sullivan Tuttle (guitar) all take turns providing lead vocals (with fiddlist Jan Purat always providing apt backing). Those seeking a soul-soothing way to end their weekend would be hard pressed to find a better option than a Sunday evening with AJ Lee & Blue Summit at The District.
