"Legacy
"Jessie Lee & The Alchemists are a French modern blues-rock band:
Winner of 5 international awards:
Mississippi Blues Train Challenge 2018
Winner of the France Blues Challenge 2019
Top 3 at the European Blues Challenge 2022
Cognac Blues Passions 2024
French Blues Awards "Voice of the Year" 2025
After the release of a self-titled debut album in 2018, followed by a second opus entitled Let It Shine in May 2021 on Dixiefrog Records, Jessie LEE & The Alchemists are touring relentlessly across Europe. A tour of over 130 dates in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Spain, Romania, Sweden and Norway, punctuated by a place in the top 3 at the European Blues Challenge 2022, an opening slot for Jeff BECK at the Olympia (Paris) in July 2022 and the Cognac Blues Passions Award in 2024.
Between tours, the band have been working on their 3rd album, Legacy, released on 4 July 2025 by Binaural Production, while Jessie LEE has just received the 2025 French Blues Awards for 'Voice of the Year'.
"Like Beth Hart meets the Tedeschi Trucks Band - the comparison is obvious - Jessie LEE & The Alchemists offer original, powerful, generous and heartfelt music, where nostalgia for the 70s is merely the driving force behind unbridled creativity."
The album Legacy is a vibrant tribute to the musical roots of Jessie LEE & The Alchemists. Blending blues, rock, soul, gospel and jazz, the album builds on the band's foundations to blaze a singular trail in today's blues-rock landscape. Driven by a blazing energy and a rare emotional depth, Legacy sounds like a return to basics - fiercely anchored in the present."
