Lee Rocker
Biography


Lee Drucker
* 03.08.1961

At 6 Lee's father (Solo clarinetist of the New York Philharmonic and professor at the Juliard School Of Music) adviced him to play cello.

Lee Drucker (alias Lee Rocker) and Jim McDonnell (alias Slim Jim Phantom) are friends since they were thirteen.
At 17 they founded the rockabilly formation Stray Cats with their schoolfriend Brian Setzer. The band has got world wide reputation and sold millions of cd's.

Rockers aggressive style was the exact mixture for the new Rock'n'Roll and mirrowed the change in mind of the young video generation.

Carl Perkins - Rockabilly legend of the first generation - invited the young Lee Rocker to the video production of “Blue Suede Shoes”. In this video Rocker has played together with Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Dave Edmunds and many more. It was a beginning of an intensive friendship between Carl Perkins and Lee - for many years they worked together on studio records, soundtracks and concerts. Carl Perkins was the musical father of Lee Rocker and called him “a young legend”.

After a intensive touring through the USA Lee decided to release an album, which mirrowed the terrific live atmosphere of his concerts. Rockabilly at its best, back to the roots! He dedicated this album to his deceased friend Carl Perkins, as well as Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana.

Lee Rocker has contributed forceful rhythmic firepower to the rockabilly sound. This charismatic standup-bass player helped to create a whole new generation of rockabilly fans.

Lee Rocker is without question one of the best, if not the best standup-bass players around today. If anyone hasn't seen him play, the time has arrived.
