Sense Of Place Minneapolis: Frankie Lee

Thanks to his dad's musician friends, the alt-country singer grew up behind a soundboard.
Twin Cities alt-country singer Frankie Lee recently released his first full-length album, American Dreamer. It's a strong debut that reflects Lee's musical upbringing: His musician father died when Lee was 12, but his dad's friends were also musicians who took him to clubs where they were playing. Sometimes, they even parked him under the soundboard so he could soak up everything.
