Donald Lee

Artist Information

Biography

Who is Donald Lee? He is a Solo Artist (at least for now), An artist who describes his music as a “Bluesy, folksy, Rock.” Although he feels it is difficult to put his music into a category because it’s a “combination of many things.” He creates music/songs touching on life. He was introduced to Music and Guitar at an early time in his life by his parents. His first record he ever had, his Dad gave to him; Jimi Hendrix, Live at the Monterey Pop Festival. His father was proficient in many styles of music and on several different instruments. As he grew, so did his taste for different music genres. In high school he was into a little bit of everything, from heavy metal to classic rock, from country to R & B to Blues. After joining the US Army, he and a few friends formed a band and they practiced as much as possible and played around the base and off at Fort Campbell, Ky. Upon his departure from Fort Campbell, He stayed in Nashville for a spell, absorbing as much from people’s experiences and insight as he could. Searching for info on his favorites, he’d read about Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Croce etc…trying to see them and understand them beyond their music. In His Words: “I Love music and I love Life. My lyrics are very thought provoking; touching on parts of life we can all relate to regardless of where we've been. I believe my music can stimulate the mind as well as free the soul."

I pride myself on being open to all genre's of music, but as of late I haven't heard to much that's original, authentic..REAL! I was sooo tired of digital this, that and the other that I've been downloading the oldies to get my musical fix. Thats until now. It's not alot of artists that have the sense anAd the nerve to go back to the roots of what it is to make music (ie., Hendrix, Kravitz, etc.). It doesn't take drum machines, sampled tracks and all that other bulls@#! All it takes is a man, and his good buddy Mr. Six-string, with a story to tell and the soul to convey it. In the
  I'm so impressed with Donald Lee's style of musical convergence that I am in talks with him to use some of his music in my films, so for all you movie fans, be on the look-out for some of his new tracks to grace the big and small screen.
  My suggestion to the masses..get this CD, push play, close your eyes and FEEL THE MUSIC!!!!!

Setlist

I mix up the order.
I have up to a 16-19 song set, time varies, average length is a little over an hour however, set time can always be changed to meet the venue. I run a laptop for backing tracks (operated by my wife) run it through the PA, and I can use my amp (miked or unmiked) or run guitar through pa also,, whatever works
