Hi, friends. Thanks for checking out my new website. Here's what's happening in the world of Candy Lee: 1/13/12 CANDY LEE ON TOUR AGAIN! Well, it's that time again. Time for me to be on tour. I'm so excited to visit Fayetteville again, and all of the spots in between. I'll be going through Decatur and Memphis on my way to Fayetteville. Then the Sweets and I are going to play in and around Fayetteville, this time making it to SoundPony in Tulsa, and Patton Alley Pub in Springfield, Missouri. On the sad day that I leave Fayetteville once again, I'll be headed to Austin Texas, and then New Orleans! It's going to be a fun tour. I'll be visiting places I've never been before. Check out the Shows page for more info! CANDY LEE AND THE SWEETS @ THE WAKA WINTER CLASSIC!!! It's also important that everybody know that Candy Lee and the Sweets have been selected to compete in this years Waka Winter Classic- a battle of the bands in which the winner gets to play at Wakarusa in late May/early June. Winners are decided by votes placed by the audience on their entry tickets. So if you love Candy Lee and the Sweets, and want to send us to Wakarusa, PLEASE ATTEND AND VOTE! The event is Jan 19th @ George's Magestic Lounge. Tickets are only $5. 10/5/11 Early this November Candy Lee will embark upon second tour, from Florida to Missouri, and back through the southeast U.S. She will be reuniting with her Fayetteville band, the Sweets, for a couple of performances in Northwest Arkansas. Included amongst these performances will be a Candy Lee and the Sweets Reunion Party, November 13th, at Greenhouse Grille. The show will begin at 6pm. Tickets will be $7 at the door, while kids and kickstarter backers will get in free.

P.S. For Kickstarter backers in the Fayetteville area, rewards packages will be available for pick up at the Reunion Party @ Greenhouse Grille. The rest will be mailed out soon! 6/4/11 So, I just finished my first tour ever and it was great! I got to see old friends, and their new bands, meet some new friends, and make some connections. The scenery along the tour was beautiful, and the cities unique. I learned a lot through this tour, and am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do it. I couldn't have gone on this tour without the help of my kickstarter backers, all of those who came out to, and all of the bands who contributed their time and talent to my Farewell Show. The Farewell Show was amazing. I couldn't believe the turnout! I have never felt so blessed and loved :) I'm currently working on putting together the kickstarter rewards packages. It will take some time, though. Especially the videos. They take hours to upload and weeks to edit. Then I've got to put them onto the website, and compile the documentary. I've also got to screen print some shirts, print some posters, and draw some pictures. It will take me a while, but it will be worth it! I have sent out a few surveys and emails to my kickstarter backers to get shipping and other info for their rewards packages.
4/26/11 I reached my kickstarter goal and I'm going on tour!!! Thank you so much to everyone who backed my project. Your support means so much to me. Not only will I able to be go on tour, but I will go into it with confidence that there are so many people who really believe in my music.
