Saw you for the first time at your "Richie Lee
turns 21 Birthday Bash" at Riverside Casino. Great time and
performance. Hard to believe that you are only 21. Perform
like an aged pro. Web site is now in my favorites and will
check often to see where you will be performing. Good luck
(not that you will need it) with your future.

WOW, You were awesome. So many people enjoyed your
performance. We are getting such wonderful feedback from
all of the people who heard you. The ones who did not make
it out to hear you are feeling pretty upset. Not too many
people around here had heard of you but they know about you
now. We thank you so much for coming to Salem and if I have
my way, I want you back again next year. Again thank you
for coming and hope to see you in the future. I am enjoying
your c.d. that we bought. The other one I bought is a
Christmas present for my high school friend.

Hi Richie, I just wanted to say that Saturday
nights concert was awesome at the State fair. I thought it
was awesome when you came down from the stage and into the
crowd while you were playing your guitar during the song
pipe line. And I thought it was awesome when you sang happy
birthday to someone in the crowd. Thank you for signing my
t-shirt, button, and my two pictures. I gave my friend Trina
the picture you signed when you were dressed as Buddy. I
thought that she might like that. I’m glad that I got my
picture taken with you. It was awesome. What is your fan
club address so I can write to you? Good luck with your
career. Your Friend and Fan, Daisy

Hi Richie, Saw you
last night at the 9:30 show at the fair, a great time! You

Hi, Richie! It was
good to see you again at the fair Saturday night. I would
have liked to talk to you longer but you are in such demand
now. As I was watching you perform, I couldn’t help to
think back 5 years when I first met you. I am still very
proud of you. Even though it was so hot that evening, it
didn’t prevent you and your band from putting on a great
show. Keep up the great work, Richie!

Oh how I miss going to
your shows. I looked at the schedule and there are no
Sundays listed which are my free days now. I was playing a
Buddy CD today so I told a few of my workers about you and
how awesome your shows are. I hope we get to rock out
at one of your shows soon! Tawnya July

Richie,
why aren’t you signed with Paul McCartney yet? You need to
get out of Iowa and get discovered. You were the best
performer at the Rockabilly show and they would be smart to
put you on the tour. Dana June

I helped Richie when
he made his first CD. I was there when he named his band
the Fabulous 50's and I remember doing some demo recordings
in his parents living room just for fun, and getting his dad
to sing. Those days were a lot of fun, thanks Richie for
those memories. Jack & Chris April 11

My fiancé and I have been going to Richie Lee since
he was 13. Mainly at Electric Park in Waterloo. He was good
then and gets better every year. Going to see him again
tonight 4/2! Rock & Roll!!
-
Awesome! I am so looking forward to working with
and seeing Richie again. Great young man, amazing talent,
wonderful family. What's not to like! I wish there were
more young people with his character and values. It's not
just about his choice of music; it is about who he is as a
person. I will try and see him at the Iowa State fair.

KATO BALLROOM.
Richie. A bunch of us 'older' folks' who actually saw Buddy
sing live in 1959 went and saw you sing in Mankato, and the
whole group was just fantastic! Please come back again soon
and bring Buddy back on stage where he actually
played on live in 1959 again. Everyone was heard to say how
great the show was. Thanks for a great time. Hope you
come back soon! Had a person tell me today that this
was the best band concert he has 'ever' been to at the Kato
Ballroom. Everyone said it was great. Sure liked his Buddy
Holly, Roy Orbison and Ritchie Valens songs plus the woman
singing Patsy Cline. Never been to a 60's dance for years
that had strings and a bass fiddle in the band. It was Very
good. Dick March 16

Richies' shows were
above fantastic and looking forward to see what is down the
pike for him!! C March 15

I was just at the
show you did at the Kato ballroom. Very exciting! The first
time I saw you was on the last tour, last year. I wish you
came up north more! He is everything that is exciting about
rock’n roll---I'm sure Buddy Holly is looking down, proud of
him! I just have rock n roll excitement! Keep up the good
work! Andrew March 15
-
Hey! So I know this is late, but I saw your show in
Grand Forks, ND, and it was amazing! I loved it! I was also
listening to your CD, and wondered if you sang any Frankie
Valli, 'cuz your falsetto is impressive! I hope you come
back to GF, cuz I'd love to see your show again.

Grand Forks Show
3-6-10 Richie, my daughter and I saw the show last night
and spoke to you afterwards. You were absolutely amazing. I
felt so very proud of how accomplished you are. You have
Buddy's moves down; I would have sworn it was him. It was
just wonderful. Thank you for a wonderful night.

Richie, It sounds like you are doing everything
right. Keep you head and keep looking forward. You have a

Hi! it was great seeing all of you last weekend and
hearing Richie sing and entertain us for 2 hours at The
Island. Wow! It was great! Thank you.
Joan & Merle Feb 14

Hi Richie, It was great to see
you at Clear Lake. Your gig at the Island was really good.
You are the only one I have heard get the 'Peggy Sue'
riff exactly right, and also the words to 'La Bamba' exactly
right. Hope to make it again next year. BTW I
noticed the DVD of your gig on 2/3 being played behind you.
If so, how can I get a copy? Beat wishes, Rave On,
Mike Delf England Feb 13

Please,
oh please come to Ohio. As a big Buddy fan, I need to
see this. Despite the Rock-n-Roll hall of fame in Cleveland,
there are never any tributes to the iconic Buddy here. No
theatre productions, no radio specials. Nothing. One of
these years before I die, I will make it to Clear Lake.
Until then, I await Richie. Come to Ohio please!!!

We had a wonderful time Saturday night with Richie and
his group. They have a great sound and his back up guys are
all excellent musicians. I am sure you have heard this
before, but we were very impressed with Richie's
performance. Great instrumentals, great singing, great
authenticity of the 50's sound. Just as important, we were
really happy to see that Richie is such a nice young man.
He obviously loves what he is doing and is very good at it,
but he also takes time to be kind to everyone: our staff
and employees, his fans, everyone. That is pretty rare
with kids these days. To see and hear it from one who has
been so successful so early in his life is very
heart-warming. Speaking of fans, Richie's fans are great
and contributed much to the success of the evening. They
obviously love to dance, but, at the same time, really
showed their appreciation to the guys on stage. Although
his "regulars" made up the majority of our audience Saturday
night, there were a pretty hefty number who had never seen
him before. He certainly grew his fan base with those
folks. Tom at the Iowa Theatre

Not only was Richie and his band an awesome talent,
they were very cooperative, friendly and easy to work with.
They are a breath of fresh air compared to some shows we
work with! BF Jan 20

Buddy Holly and Ritchie
Valens - two of the most influential Rock N’Roll artists of
all time - live on in the incredible sights and sounds of
Richie Lee & The Fabulous 50’s. Richie’s performance is so
accurate, it’s as if Buddy Holly walked out of the past and
onto the stage!
