| About Lauren Lee and Liberty Road |
Myspace Profile Tracker World Visitor MapLauren Lee and Liberty Road are from Southeastern Oklahoma. Lauren (22) began playing fiddle at 13 and started singing at 17. She always had a desire to learn fiddle after discovering Alison Krauss at a young age. She learned all of the basics on her own by ear and 3 years into her playing, her music took a turn of a lifetime. She was introduced to Herman Johnson of Shawnee. Herman is a Master Fiddler who has won many competitions including National Championships. Lauren studied with Herman for over 4 years until Herman suffered a mild stroke and had to put his fiddling on hold. Lauren still continues to learn as much as she can by attending various fiddle camps and conferences everywhere from Roanoke, VA all the way to San Diego, CA. She is currently staying very busy pursuing her own music career but also by giving private lessons for fiddle and mandolin. Sawyer Lee is 19 years old and is Lauren's younger brother. He started playing the guitar at age 11. After Lauren started learning more fiddle tunes, she needed a backup guitar player, so Sawyer stepped right up. His talent is completely raw with no formal training. Even without training, it was obvious that Sawyer had the abilities to master the instrument fairly quickly. His current songwriting skills have shown his ability to cross genres and bring them together with a contemporary style. Robbie Lee is the father of Lauren and Sawyer. He has always had talent in music by playing different instruments starting in highschool. He eventually settled with the drums playing mostly Country and Western. After Lauren and Sawyer started learning more progressive styles in 2004, they decided Dad needed to learn the djembe. After receiving his first percussion *toy* for Father's Day, he quickly added more percussion instruments that now give the band its own style. Jerry Dilday has been a friend of the Lee family for several years. His background in bass playing consists of Country and Western, but his songwriting skills are deeply rooted in many genres. He became a member of the band in August of 2005 and completed the sound that Lauren and the guys were looking for. Their debut album, "Don't Look Back" will be released Summer of 2006 on Four Count Records. Lauren and Sawyer lend their songwriting skills to 4 of the songs, while Jerry contributed 4 songs including the title track. The rest of the songs are all traditional standards, both instrumentally and vocally. Lauren Lee and Liberty Road are excited to bring a new style of acoustic music to the Oklahoma music scene. Their style is pure, edgy, and expressive and will take you to another place and time where traditional music meets new roots.
