Lee Cornell-Lead Vocals/Guitar

Lee began playing guitar at age 13. He actually learned from a one-armed guitar instructor. Ask him to tell you the story. He has been a lead singer and played in many bands over the past 30+ years, including Hot Cobb, The Lee Jason Band, Festival, Majestic Sun, Trixx and now Rockenstein. After winning the "Eagle National Talent Search" he appeared twice on the very popular 1990’s television program “Nashville Revue” as a solo vocalist pop/country artist in Nashville, TN. Even though Lee won competitions as a country/pop singer, his real love is classic rock and roll. Musical influences include The Beatles, Tom Petty, classic rock and country rock. He also trained classically on violin for 7 years. And yes, he’s 6’ 9”. Don’t ask. It pisses him off.
