If your musical tastes include people like STING, JAMES TAYLOR, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN OR VAN MORRISSON then you’re going to love the music of singer song-writer LEE ROGERS. Hailing from Belfast in Northern Ireland, Lee sent out a demo album to various labels and was immediately picked up by UK label Zenith Café. In 2006 he subsequently recorded his debut album ‘Drawing Clocks’ in Italy with noted Italian producer Marco Canepa (Zucchero , Roger Hodgson of SuperTramp) .
A great favourite with Ted Kelly at XM Worldspace, his international performances include NXNE (North by North Easst) in Toronto, MIDEM in Cannes, Best Of Brits two years in a row at ABBEY ROAD for XM Worldspace and of course countless gigs in the UK and Ireland including supporting Australian star TIM FREEDMAN for some of Tim’s solo gigs in the UK.
Lee has already had tracks on two major feature films; The River King starring Ed Burns for Myriad Pictures and; ‘Maradona La Mano De Dios’ which Lee was asked earlier this year to co-write and perform the title track for. It’s due for worldwide release 2007/8.
Next month Lee is off to NYC to do an industry showcase which will be recorded and broadcast by XM Worldspace.

Reviewer: Doug, CEO of BBS Radio
One of the best artists on BBS Radio, if not the best at this time! The CD is nothing short of Brilliant! More songs worth listening to than 2,000 independant artists CDs I've reviewed in the past two years!
''Nevermind'' is sublime and the single ''Love, Love, Love'' wonderfully soulful. ...If you like your rock laid back and blues laced then this could be right up your street" - Pete Whalley, GetReadyToRock.com.

What is the problem with the music industry today? They take artists, who can play the guitar and sing a bit, send them off like little children to learn how to write with specific writers, put millions into the promotion of said second rate product, take everything they have from them including integrity and soul....then drop them deep into the ocean to become an instant has-been quicker than they became an instant hit! Lee Rogers writes every single song, sings every single note like it was his last, plays the acoustic guitar beautifully, write killer songs....in a word, he has already got everything that the big guns pay big money for! What?! I have had this CD for 2 years! Has it scratched the surface...no...it will though...and when it does and the dogs come-a-sniffin...tell them to piss off!!!! All the best Lee.

As a boy growing up on the east coast of Ireland in a working class town with the mellifluous name of Carrickfergus, Lee Rogers got an earful of Van Morrison, one of his father's favorite singers. Whether this exposure was an act of prescience or mere musical imprinting can be debated, but no one can argue the similarity between Rogers' and Van Morrison's soulful vibe today. "Drawing Clocks," Lee Rogers' debut CD, is a version of an earlier demo CD named "Promise of Day," reworked in the studio from a raw to polished product which even adds strings, an embellishment which might seem a bit oxymoronic for an R&B recording. But it works very well, especially on the atmospheric "How Will I Sleep?," chosen by Myriad Pictures for the soundtrack of the eerie drama "The River King." One of the lyrics embedded in this haunting tune reads "There's a fine line between my love and my fear" and could very well be a thematic recap of the film, in which Ed Burns plays a cop caught between conflicting passions of sorting out a tormented past and remaining true to his work. The standout track is "Love, Love, Love," ushered in by an unhurried drone of minor chords which is then pierced by impassioned vocals sounding like Sting at his stratospheric best. Lee Rogers' songwriting is incredible, but most will be awestruck by his voice which sounds much like Paul Carrack, Paul Rodgers or Elton John... a one-uppance of Van Morrison himself.
