C.J.Lee

Christopher John (C.J.) Lee: Australian singer/songwriter, guitarist, banjo and harmonica player writes songs channeled through mongrel dogs. Born of the Waratah state in rural NSW, Australia, C.J.Lee performs predominantly as a solo artist drawing influence from blues, Dixieland jazz, vaudeville, folk and country music. 

He’s played street corners, folk venues, dive bars, coffee houses, blues clubs, music hall’s to world renowned festival stages. 

When he employs a band, C.J puts down his banjo and slide guitar, slings on a jazzmaster and calls upon a select group of musicians (including his right hand man, guitarist and singer Ray Holden) to punctuate his bellowing voice and abstract story telling. You'll hear violin responding to the narrative, horns to bring out the bourbon, bull fiddle sliding along with a concoction of drums and percussion, bringing to mind characters such as Tom Waits, C.W Stoneking and Howlin Wolf. 

In 2016, Lee relocated to Ontario, Canada and  quickly hustled his way into the Blues & Roots community across Canada and into the US. A troubadour at heart, C.J.Lee finds himself traveling constantly with his suitcase of songs throughout Canada, US and Australia. 

His latest album “Hitchcock Sequel” available now on all platforms and on ‘limited edition' RED vinyl.
