What sets Michael apart from other artists is his authenticity. He doesn’t just perform; he connects with audiences on a deeper level. He sings passionately, “Some people get a groove from going to a picture show. Then there are other people, baby, who want to get theirs from wearing fancy clothes, but I get my groove from you,” encapsulating the power of relationships, reminding us that genuine connection often enhances our experiences. Whether you’re at a live gig or listening from your favorite sofa, Michael Lee’s music curates an atmosphere where every note invites you to sway to your own groove.
“I Get My Groove From You” is featured on Michael Lee & The Wartime Limousine’s latest EP, “Object of the Game,” recorded at the legendary Niles City Sound studio in Fort Worth, Texas.

“Object of the Game” connects Michael’s blues past with his soulful new path by delivering inspired covers ranging from a hard-dusted approach to a dancehall reggae classic to a silky-smooth take on the early ‘70s work of DFW legend Bobby Patterson. Michael says, “At some point, if you’re fortunate, you realize the real game isn’t winning. It’s finding the courage to chase what matters, regardless of the outcome. ‘Object of the Game’ is the sonic embodiment of that journey. A step in a new direction while holding onto the roots I cherish dearly.”
“Object of the Game” draws from where Michael has been while indicating where he’s going and serves as the perfect appetizer for what’s next. Michael also plans to deliver an album of all-new, completely original material as the main course (with Silver Skylarks back at the production helm) for 2025.
Michael Lee
Born in Texas and raised on a healthy diet of Texas and Delta Blues, Michael Lee is not your ordinary guitar man. He spent much of his young life in blues clubs receiving his own Master’s Degree education by watching and playing with Blues legends such as Andrew “Jr Boy” Jones, Freddie King, Buddy Whittington, John Mayall, Lucky Peterson, and Willie Dixon. And on nights he was not in the blues clubs, he was down in the Ft. Worth stockyards, soaking in the country sounds that emanated from the honkytonks.
The diversity of that unique upbringing culminated in Michael evolving into the rare triple threat: he sings with passion, plays guitar from the soul, and writes songs of the heart. Featured on Season 15 of NBC’s “The Voice,” Michael’s blind audition song “Thrill Is Gone” which Rolling Stone magazine described as “a wild-eyed vocal that brought the crowd to a fever pitch.”
Following his season on “The Voice,” Michael was asked to be a featured performer in B.B. King’s Blues Band for 2019, joining legends that played with B.B. King himself for 35 years. Michael was also featured on their compilation record “Soul of the King,” where he got to record B.B.’s greatest hit “Thrill is Gone.”
