Joe Lee Stevens- 5.10.25
Joe Lee Stevens grew up in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains in Knoxville, Tennessee. (Go Vols!) He was immersed in music from his earliest days, growing up on Ricky Skaggs and Dolly Parton in a God-fearing, musically gifted family. By the age of five, Joe Lee was picking out melodies on the piano, humming harmony lines, and learning drum rhythms from his Dad. His love for music grew with each new instrument he picked up.
While majoring in vocal performance in college, Joe Lee started playing music professionally and decided to move to Nashville to further his career. He was blessed with opportunities to tour nationally with dozens of artists, playing everything from Nascar races to the Grand Ole Opry. Throughout the years he has served his local church as a worship leader and has written hundreds of songs in the country, gospel, and bluegrass genres.
Joe Lee’s music endeavors eventually lead him back home to the Smokies when his focus shifted from being a touring multi-instrumentalist to a family man and country music artist. For the past four years, he has been performing full-time locally in the Smoky Mountain area at many of the top attractions including Dollywood, Ole Red, and Jason Aldean’s. Joe Lee is known for his infectious energy, quick wit, and deep love for the people he meets. Paired with music we all know and love, his original songs are a blend of heart, humor, and storytelling. He aims to make every performance feel like a conversation with an old friend, providing a lighthearted and energetic experience that will make you laugh and want to sing along.
Joe Lee's most important job is at home, where he lives with his beautiful wife and four boys. Their self-proclaimed "Stevens Circus" is full of energy, joy, and a little chaos but he wouldn't trade it for the world. Being able to live in the Smokies and play music full time but still get to be home with his family every day is a dream come true. When he's not busy making music or leading the circus on a fun family adventure, you can probably find him cuddling with his wife or pouring fresh ground coffee over ice for the first or fourth time that day.
