The boys are also bringing living legend Calvin Cooke with them on sacred steel.
With special guest Penderite, southern rocker David Lumley
The Lee Boys grew up in the church where their father was a pastor and a steel player himself. “Sacred steel” is a type of music described as an inspired, unique form of Gospel music with a hard-driving, blues-based beat. The musical genre is rooted in Gospel, but infused with rhythm and blues, jazz, rock, funk, hip-hop, country and ideas from other nations.
When The Lee Boys bring their joyous spiritual sound to the stage, audiences instantly recognize that this is not “sitting and listening” music: dancing, shouting out, and having fun are considered essential parts of their tradition. Founder and bandleader Alvin Lee explains “The inspiration and feeling that comes along with our music is the reason that people feel good.”
May 4th – The Unfaithful Servants
The Crisp Festival was delighted to present this concert on May 4th, 7pm at Pender Community Hall to celebrate our volunteers and local sponsors! It was a very fun night!

TURNING THE TIDE
CHORUS
We’re turning the tide, coming together, sticking through all the stormy weather
The plan is in motion, we move like the ocean, let the waves take us somewhere better
Cause’ I’m done running, I’m done hiding, I’m here with something to say
We’re turning the tide to a new day
So grab us a kayak, paddle around, from the north down to Puget Sound
With the wind as our sail, we’ll dance with the whales,
until we’re Pender Island bound
Then here comes the singer, singing his song, till’ the whole coast is singing along
Like turning a tide
CHORUS
I’m in love with the islands, in love with the shores,
I don’t think I could love em’ anymore
In love with the people, in love the towns, in love with the sights, I’m in love with the sounds
In love with the feeling, the feeling I get, it’s a feeling I could never forget
Like turning a tide
CHORUS
It’s gonna get higher
