Lee McCormack

Lee McCormack was born in Anniston, Alabama at Ft. McClellan Army base into a family of singers and soldiers. As Lee's father, Bud, kept his country safe; his mother, Bonnie, kept the soldiers entertained for years with her soulful voice. Lee always had a front row seat to all her shows. One day, she invited Lee onstage with her to sing at one of her concerts when he was only seven years old. The audience just loved him! They applauded like mad, and a star was born! At that moment he knew... that was what he wanted to do with his life. With musical influences like his mother, George Jones, & The Righteous Brothers, he began to focus on his future.

The road to stardom is a long one and Lee hasn't squandered any of his time. His weekends were always busy performing for anyone & everyone who would listen to him. Lee knows that the music industry is business too, that is why he filled his weekdays attending Ohio University, where he graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management.

Life has been a nonstop ride for this dedicated professional who now resides in a small Ohio town just across the Ohio River from Ashland, Kentucky and Huntington, West Virginia. This area is so rich with talent, and has spawned some of the most gifted singers and songwriters in the world of country music. Lee has had the honor of performing with such well-known artists as Andy Griggs, Ricky Lynn Gregg, Josh Turner, Tim Rushlow (Little Texas), Kenny Chesney, Sarah Evans, Jimmy Wayne, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Cledus T. Judd, Gary Allan... and many others.

This single father of two has released two CD 's. What Turns You On, the first single from Lee's Open Road CD to be released to secondary market radio spent over 25 weeks on the National Independent Chart, and peaked at ..12. The following release, What A Heart Will Do for Love, charted as well. After conquering the secondary radio market nation-wide, the title track Open Road, and one of the crowd favorites: famed Nashville director Peter Lippman shot What Turns You On to video. The Open Road CD and videos have seen heavy sales. Lee's second CD entitled What Kind of Man has now been released with expectations exceeding the first. Lee and/or a band member wrote every song on it. You will feel moved by the music, and can hear in Lee's voice how personal this project is to him. With Lee's father having served in the military, and his brother currently serving, the song Long Way Home takes on a proud and majestic feel when talking about our loved ones serving overseas. The songs Lost Highway and Dad's Song about Lee's son and father respectively show the depth of his love for his family. The title song demonstrates a faith in God and Lee's fellow man in a way that few other artists have ever been able to accomplish.

Lee has made four very successful trips to CMA's Fan Fair/ Music Fest in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. Upon his first visit he met thousands of fans, and huge lines kept Lee-signing autographs for 22 hours over the event! Lee signed more autographs than any other artist at Fan Fair 2003 and was voted hottest independent artist by the CMA. The next three years the same accolades came his way again by the CMA when Lee proved to be an even hotter item than he was the previous year. Lee also played the Acoustic Corner at Fan Fair and had the largest crowd ever. The performance ended with a standing ovation.

Lee performs continually and is a champion for many charitable events. He now has a huge fan base following in the tri-state area of OH, KY, WV, has played several venues in Nashville and throughout the east coast. Lee is now ready for the next step and prepared to take his energetic powerhouse show to the rest of the world!
