Timeline
Lee’s latest album “The LOW Road” was recorded live with his 4 piece band at Daryl's House in Pawling, NY (a listening room venue owned by Daryl Hall of Hall & Oates).

On October 29, 2019, Billboard.com premiered Lee Rockers latest single and music video for "Dog House Shuffle". "It's a tribute in a lot of ways," Rocker (Leon Drucker) tells Billboard. "It's a song I wrote over the last couple of months. I was thinking about my career with 40 years of Stray Cats and all of that and thinking about the upright bass, which is what started this thing. It takes me back to the opening line of the song -- which is "Took me 'round the world and I changed my name/found a little fortune, found a little fame/Doin' the dog house shuffle" -- which is right out of my story. Dog House is what they call the upright bass, so it's a tribute to the bass itself and a lot of the players that I came up listening to." On October 30, 2019 Dog House Shuffle was officially released on all Digital Platforms.
At age 12 Lee picked up the electric bass but quickly developed a preference for playing the double bass as his instrument of choice.
