Lee Watson

LIKE A BRUSHSTROKE ACROSS A CANVAS, LEE WATSONʼS SONGWRITING SWEEPS THROUGH MUSICAL LANDSCAPES, WARM AND KNOWING.
For the better part of a decade, Lee wrote and performed as a founding member of Vancouverʼs critically acclaimed The Breakmen. In this new solo project, he brings his influences in traditional music back home to his roots in rural Ontario, creating a collection of songs that evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the windswept pines and vast lakes of Ontarioʼs Hinterland. Born in Owen Sound, Leeʼs love for Canadian songwriters and the sound of music on vinyl was sparked by a childhood raised within arms reach of his fatherʼs turntable.
