LEE & DR. G came together in September 2023 after longtime musician Dr. G posted online, looking to start a new project: “let's vibe on that psychedelic blues....willing to get experimental.” Lee—a touring and studio musician with 20 years, thousands of shows, and extensive U.S. and international touring behind him—answered.

They met at Livingston Park in Manchester, New Hampshire. Six minutes into their first jam, people were already stopping to listen. The connection was immediate.

Since then, LEE & DR. G have built their reputation the direct way: more than 150 shows, 300 rehearsals, and thousands of miles across New England. Their résumé includes the Bank of New Hampshire Stage in Concord, the Flying Monkey in Plymouth, the Press Room in Portsmouth, the Stone Church in Newmarket, the Middle East in Cambridge, the Capitol Center for the Arts’ Market Days Main Stage, Pembroke City Limits, and the Jungle in Somerville, among many other venues.

Michael Witthaus of The Hippo described their sound as “psycho-delic” blues rock: Delta-rooted, loud, and driven by twin guitars, tube amps, and open-ended improvisation. Paperjam called it “rock-and-roll dynamite.” 

In 2025, LEE & DR. G self-funded their debut album, Girl For Me, recorded at Rocking Horse Studios and released on red vinyl. Their album-release headline at the Bank of New Hampshire Stage drew more than 180 people, and the band earned a Rising Star–New Hampshire nomination from the New England Music Awards. They followed the album with the Live EP in summer 2026.

The band’s live power caught the attention of New York blues guitarist Emanuel Casablanca, who has selected LEE & DR. G to join him onstage as his backing band for select dates. Casablanca’s three albums feature collaborations with Eric Gales, Paul Gilbert, Albert Castiglia, Joanna Connor, Bernard Fowler, Doug Wimbish, and Jimmy Carpenter. What began as a support slot at The Press Room has grown into an ongoing partnership, with additional New England performances, a confirmed 2027 appearance at City Winery Boston, and Northeast U.S. and European dates in development.

For LEE & DR. G, live performance remains the center of everything: two guitars, a massive sound, and a room that feels different by the end of the set.
