Word of South

Lee Bains III and the Glory Fires

Lee Bains hails from Birmingham, a city torn apart by some of the South’s most tragic events, and the singer isn’t shy about expressing the area’s shortcomings and flaws, while also delivering a dose of don’t-forget-where-you’re-from pride. One thing is certain, this band likes to rock. Lee Bains and the Glory Fires wrap commentaries and reflections in what they call “real Alabama rock ‘n’ roll.” The band currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia and Birmingham, Alabama. Lee will be appearing at Word of South with the author Caleb Johnson, and separately later that day with the Glory Fires.
