Meet The Bobby Lees

Woodstock, NY has a long history of music. You may have heard of a little festival that happened there some time ago. It was a mess. Farmers were upset. Police were called. Someone played the national anthem. A true success. 

Hailing from the storied landmark, The Bobby Lees are garage punk rock band keeping the spirit of making NOISE alive and well. With a blues edge, they have lit up the stages of upstate New York and beyond. 

Below they tell ALL, including the importance of what music feels like and their pets’ dispositions. Check out their foot stomping album, crank up the stereo, and give this a gander.
