Mick Lee
Background VocalistDepends what you want b/ground vocals for. If a recording, it'd have to be something I'm comfortable with, and could do a good job for you. You can hear my vocal style on our profile, so if you think I'd be a good fit, send me an mp3 of the track, or a link to where i can hear it, and I'll check it out. Fyi, I can also sing in French and Italian.,

Mick Lee
Audio Engineer Guitarist Keyboardist Vocalist SongwriterBorn and raised in NYC, I've lived and played music in many countries around the world. I lived in London for many years, where I was fortunate to befriend and make music with some of the world's finest musicians. My first pro gig was with Graham Bond, in whose band Jack Bruce and Ginger Baler also began their careers. He was my first real mentor, along with Chris Wood of Traffic, who introduced me to Paul Kossoff of Free, Mitch Mitchell of Jimi Hendrix's band, Lemmy, Ric Grech of Blind Faith, Mick Taylor, Steve Winwood and ,many other world class players. I learned my craft as a singer, guitarist and writer by playing with these amazing musicians, and I'll always be grateful, deep in their debt. Wherever I've lived, from London to Scotland, Burlington, Vermont to Bend, Oregon, New Orleans and now Asheville, North Carolina, I've been very fortunate to hook up with amazing musicians. Just lucky that way, I guess! Making music with Rod and Joel in GREAT Degenerates is a pure pleasure, and I love every minute. We're a very eclectic acoustic band, playing a blend of our own songs, and covers from soul, r&b, jazz, reggae, funk and rock. We never play a song the same way twice, being all about improvisation, which means it's always interesting !
