Jessie Lee & The Alchemists was founded in 2015 and is a modern blues-rock quintet under the joint leadership of singer-guitarist Jessie Lee and guitarist-composer Alexis "Mr AL" Didier, supported by bassist Laurent Cokelaere, drummer Stéphane Minana, and organist Laurian Daire. The group's Anglo-Saxon influences are very diverse, ranging from blues to rock, including soul, pop, and even jazz. The music they create is modern, original, shaped by traditions, and unites emotion, freedom, and power. A surprising alchemy. After three years of existence and concerts across France, a first self-titled album was released in 2018. The reception was excellent, and the audience was there. Described as the "hope of the European blues scene," winners of 5 awards during the International Mississippi Blues Trail Challenge 2018 and winners of the France Blues Challenge 2019, the Alchemists saw the doors of Europe opening for them and celebrated great success with the audience. The group is already thinking about the continuation and preparing the second work... The Alchemists are thinking big and plotting a major production. Thus, "Let It Shine" was released on May 7, 2021, under the Dixiefrog label. Mixed by the famous Kevin Shirley – completely analog, as was the mastering by Globe Audio, to remain faithful to the musical influences that inspired the writing – the album proves to be powerful and surprising. Each piece is a painting, a journey at the intersection of styles, immediately showcasing the incredible vocal talent of Jessie Lee, while not forgetting that of the inspired guitarist, whether it concerns rhythmic or solo themes. Combined with the virtuosity and lyricism of the guitar playing of Alexis "Mr AL" Didier – who also composed and produced the album – the formula hits the mark every time. A European tour follows, interrupted by a spot in the top 5 at the European Blues Challenge 2022 in Malmö (Sweden) and an extremely convinced audience as the opening act for Jeff Beck in July 2022 at L'Olympia (Paris).
