On October 16, Bank of New Hampshire Stage becomes part juke joint, part history lesson, part rock and roll séance. LEE & DR. G present a one-of-a-kind exploration of the Delta Blues that traces the music’s evolution from the Mississippi Delta to the birth of electrified rock music itself.
Beginning with the haunting acoustic recordings of Robert Johnson and Son House, the show follows the blues as it migrates northward, plugs into amplifiers, and transforms through Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, and the violent electricity that would ultimately shape rock and roll. Along the way, the evening blends classic blues material with the band’s original songs: music rooted in Delta tradition but pushed into something heavier and unmistakably modern.
Featuring live performances, historical storytelling, archival footage, audience participation, and live musical demonstrations, the show is designed not only as a concert or historical discussion, but as a full-spectrum experience of how the blues evolved across generations into the DNA of modern rock music itself.
This is the story of a sound mutating in real time: from front porches to glowing tube amps at full volume.

LEE & DR. G didn’t come together through a clean industry pipeline. They met the old way: online, skeptical, looking for someone willing to get loud and get weird. One post said it all: psych rock and blues… willing to get experimental. Most replies were useless. One wasn’t: full-time musician for 20 years… toured the U.S. and internationally… thousands of shows. That was Lee.
They met in Livingston Park in Manchester in September 2023. Dr. G half-expected a Craigslist thief. Instead, LEE & DR. G started jamming. People stopped walking. A homeless guy nearby immediately asked how long they’d been a band. “About six minutes,” Lee said. The concern disappeared. The connection didn’t.
What followed wasn’t always glamorous. Empty rooms. Long drives. Rotating rhythm sections. Missed meals. Broken gear. Plenty of moments where quitting would’ve made sense. They didn’t. Over the next two and a half years, they piled up 100+ shows, 200+ rehearsals, and thousands of miles across New England, chasing the feeling that shows up when something finally locks in. When it does, as the Concord Monitor put it, “their shared musical bond transcended frustrations.”
The sound is what Michael Witthaus at The Hippo called “psycho-delic” blues rock: Delta-rooted blues pushed into something louder, heavier, and less predictable. Long, trance-like grooves collide with fuzz, tube saturation, and improvisation that refuses to sit still. Dr. G brings a physical, almost dangerous edge, part Iggy Pop, part Jim Morrison. “Rock-and-roll dynamite,” agreed Paperjam, driven by twin guitars, tube amps, and a refusal to stay comfortable.
Live is the point.
LEE & DR. G have built a reputation for shows that hit hard and don’t let up. Crowds come in expecting a drink and realize they’ve been handed a shot of lightning instead, and it goes down easy. The band’s sound gets “almost tribal,” riding grooves until they stretch, snap, or explode.
In 2025, the band self-funded their debut album "Girl For Me," recorded at Rocking Horse Studios and pressed on red vinyl, paid for with gig money. The album drew praise from reviewer Eric W. Saeger for its “desire to rebirth their 70-year-old genre,” highlighting the chemistry between “two wonderfully talented guitar soloists” pushing the blues somewhere hypnotic and fully their own. They marked the release with a show at Bank of New Hampshire Stage, a room they earned the slow way. That same year, they were nominated for "Rising Star – New Hampshire" at the New England Music Awards.
They’ve played rooms across the region: BNH Stage, The Press Room, The Stone Church, Pembroke City Limits, and The Jungle, while staying rooted in New England’s independent scene.
It’s about the moment when the room shifts and everyone feels it.
