Curtis Lee Putman is a dynamic performer, a gifted songwriter and a strong musician. He easily identifies with and grabs the attention of his audience weather it’s two people or two thousand. He leaves the audience cheering for more. Curtis Lee Putman likes to call his shows a party instead of a performance. And that’s usually the case with some damn good music that you're sure to enjoy.

Curtis Lee is also a business man and started CLP Music Promotions LLC., a small promotion and distribution label. He feels that so many artists are not heard because they cannot sustain the cost of promotion and don’t have the time it takes. The business started when Curtis Lee found himself in a unique situation.

“Everything I had was already either sold or taken the only thing I had left was myself a few songs and an old guitar, so I figured I’d better learn how to sell what I had,” he said.

That’s what he did, elevating himself to 54th in the USA and 56th globally on the ReverbNation country charts and sustaining that position for several months back in 2013. It didn’t come overnight either. But through relentless efforts he found the way to get himself out there with almost no budget and it worked -- people have been taking notice ever since. Now the latest single #Tallinthesaddle has risen in just a few weeks to 27th in the USA and 28th globally, and is still trending up.
