About the Song
From the label's single press release (Signature Sounds, Jul 22, 2026): 'The buoyant reinterpretation recasts Crow's radio hit as a feel-good string band tune, built around an infectious mandolin hook and lush vocal harmonies. 'This has been a long time favorite among listeners since the early 2000's,' Lee shares, pointing to Crow as a major vocal and stylistic inspiration.'

AJ Lee & Blue Summit
AJ Lee & Blue Summit are a progressive bluegrass band from Santa Cruz, California, formed in 2015. Fronted by mandolin player and lead vocalist AJ Lee, the group features Scott Gates and Sullivan "Sully" Tuttle on guitar and vocals, Jan Purat on fiddle and vocals, and Sean Newman on bass and vocals. The band has been signed to Signature Sounds Recordings since 2024.
In July 2026, the band released "Soak Up The Sun," their string-band interpretation of the Sheryl Crow song. Built around an infectious mandolin hook and lush vocal harmonies, the recording reflects Crow's influence on AJ Lee as both a vocalist and stylistic inspiration. The song also appears on the band's album Cover to Cover, released in September 2026.
Known for a busy touring schedule, AJ Lee & Blue Summit have been traveling across the United States through fall 2026, including dates on tour with East Nash Grass. Their music brings together progressive bluegrass instrumentation, shared vocals, and a fresh approach to the songs they play.
