Corners of Sanctuary Announce New Singer for UK Tour
Philly
rockers Corners of Sanctuary
(COS)
have announced that singer Stacey
Lee will be accompanying the
band on their upcoming UK tour
this March.
The
official word was made earlier this week while the band was
interviewed on Rock Addict
Radio’s Keep
it Metal Show.
"We
are excited to announce that singer Stacey Lee will be joining
Corners of Sanctuary's during our March UK string of shows,"
said COS
guitarist Mick Michaels.
Lee,
a Chicago native, with musical roots paralleling those of COS,
was with the band during the interview. Keep it Metal Show host
Billy Loney
asked the singer how he came to connect with Corners
of Sanctuary and get the job
for the tour.
Lee
responded, "When I first
heard Mick say he was looking for a singer I jokingly messaged him
and asked, “Does your singer have to be local?” He replied,
“Well, it helps”…few weeks later he asked me to audition…then
they asked me to join. I was deeply honored.”
"Lee
demonstrated right out of the gate that he had the chops for the
job," said COS
bassist James Pera.
"Plus he was already a fan
of the music… which goes a long way with connecting to what this
band is about and looking to accomplish,"
Pera
added.
Corners
of Sanctuary is scheduled to
debut Lee
on lead vocals fronting the band with a weekend of shows at the end
of February. See full show schedule below.
"We
are getting ready, then it's off to the UK,"
said COS
drummer Mad T.
"In typical COS style, we
make the most of a moment and never look back."
The
COSnROLL UK 2020
Tour
is being presented by Keep it
Metal Promotions and Cosmick
Productions and is sponsored
by the Vagabond Entertainment
Group in association with
Samsun Cymbals USA,
Coffin Case
and the Midwest Takeover Radio
Show. The Tour kicks off at
The Napier
in Blackburn, UK on March 14th.
COS also announced that they will be dropping a new EP, “For COS and Country” as an exclusive release for the upcoming UK tour. As well, the band unveiled a brand new single, “The Raid (For God and Country) featuring Lee on vocals during the show.
When asked about whether or not Lee’s addition is a permanent lineup for COS with the foreseeable future, Michaels replied, “Right now we are focusing on the UK tour and the shows we have lined up. Anything can happen…we are definitely hoping for the best.”
“It’s
an amazing chance I have been given to work with the guys in Corners
of Sanctuary. They’re dedicated and hard working and keeping
classic Metal alive. I can’t thank them enough for the chance
to hit the road and record with them,”
Lee added.
