Welcome to the official website of Lee Warren
multi-instrumentalist, producer and performer.

Latest news:
• Stolen equipment ...
On the night of August 17 or early on August 18, Lee had much of his stage gear stolen from a vehicle in Barrie, Ontario.
The thieves got away with the following gear:

Epiphone Les Paul electric guitar.
It featured a rare Silver Sparkle finish.
Nicknamed SPARKY by Michelle, this guitar had been Lee's constant companion on stage for the past 11 years and will be sorely missed.

It was in a black canvas Line 6 carrying bag, along with the Pod shown below.

Line 6 Pod 2.0 amp simulator.
This was the critical piece of gear used to create the sounds used by Lee on stage with Michelle.
Often called the Line 6 jelly bean or kidney bean because of it's distinctive shape.

• Summer rolls into fall ...
Michelle finshed the Summer season with a run of shows that included venues in Ontario and Nova Scotia.
Old friend and ex bandmate Michael Freeman was enlisted to play bass in Sydney, NS, as Joe was unavailable.
A big thank you and shout out to Michael.
He did a fantastic job -- it was as though he'd never left!

• A good time was had by all


Feb 02/2008 Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario
with Michelle Wright.

• A change of the guard ...
On a sad note, two close friends recently left
the Michelle Wright band: Dan Nadasdi has
decided to leave the road behind in favour of
raising sons Taggart and Hudson, along
with wife Rhonda.
Drummer Rick Marks left the band to pursue
other opportunities - most likely in the sun!
Both of these guys will be greatly missed.
   

• A beautiful new guitar for Lee
Long time friend, musician and luthier, John Loomer is crafting one of his fine acoustic guitars for Lee.
It's an OM style and promises to be a treasured instrument.
On a recent trip to Toronto, Lee had an opportunity to play a couple of John's guitars and was thoroughly impressed by the sound, feel and finish.
John takes great care to build an instrument that he can be proud of, knowing that it will bring years of pleasure in the hands of those fortunate enough to own one.


• Matt Crouse rocks the Soo!
To fill the drum chair on a recent Michelle Wright show,
Lee called on friend and ace Nashville based drummer
Matt Crouse.
They played the Bon Soo Festival in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario at the Steelback Arena.
Matt is the same great player that Lee chose to play on the Leanne Douglas cd Under The Covers.
