LEE & DR. G didn’t come together through a clean industry pipeline. They met the old way: online, skeptical, looking for someone willing to get loud and get weird. One post said it all — psych. rock and blues… willing to get experimental. Most replies were useless. One wasn’t: full-time musician for 20 years… toured the U.S. and internationally… thousands of shows. That was Lee.
They met in Livingston Park in Manchester in September 2023. Dr. G half-expected a Craigslist thief. Instead, LEE & DR. G started jamming. People stopped walking. A homeless guy nearby immediately asked how long they’d been a band. “About six minutes,” Lee said. The concern disappeared. The connection didn’t (Concord Monitor).
What followed wasn’t always glamorous. Empty rooms. Long drives. Rotating rhythm sections. Missed meals. Broken gear. Plenty of moments where quitting would’ve made sense. They didn’t. Over the next two and a half years, they piled up 40+ shows, 150+ rehearsals, and thousands of miles across New England, chasing the feeling that shows up when something finally locks in. When it does, as the Concord Monitor put it, “their shared musical bond transcended frustrations.”
The sound is what Michael Witthaus at The Hippo emphasized as “psycho-delic" blues rock. Delta grit, southern swagger, and improvisation that doesn’t play it safe. Dr. G brings a physical, almost dangerous edge — part Iggy Pop, part Jim Morrison — while the guitars grind, spiral, and burn. “Rock-and-roll dynamite,” agreed Paperjam, driven by twin guitars, tube amps, and a refusal to stay comfortable. Fuzz-driven originals like “Don’t Wake the Baby” and “Not Going Your Way” feel less like songs and more like pressure being released.
Live is the point.
LEE & DR. G have built a reputation for shows that hit hard and don’t let up. Crowds come in expecting a drink and realize they’ve been handed a shot of lightning instead — and it goes down easy. The band’s sound gets “almost tribal,” riding grooves until they stretch, snap, or explode.
In 2025, the band self-funded their debut album Girl For Me, recorded at Rocking Horse Studios and pressed on red vinyl, paid for with gig money. They marked the release with a show at Bank of New Hampshire Stage, a room they earned the slow way. That same year, they were nominated for Rising Star – New Hampshire at the New England Music Awards.
They’ve played rooms across the region — Bank of NH Stage, The Press Room, The Stone Church, Pembroke City Limits, The Jungle — and stayed rooted in New England’s independent scene.
LEE & DR. G write their own songs. Book their own shows. Fund their own records. It’s about authenticity and the moment when the room shifts and everyone feels it.
