Rockabilly singer, songwriter, and upright double bass player Lee Rocker was born Leon Drucker on August 3, 1961 in Massapequa, Long Island, New York. His father Stanley Drucker was the longtime principal clarinetist in the New York Philharmonic Orchestra while his clarinetist mother Naomi has been teaching music at Hofstra University since 1969. Lee's sister Roseanne is a country music singer/songwriter. Rocker began taking classical cello lessons at age eight. He soon thereafter learned how to play the electric bass. Lee jammed with fellow musicians Jimmy McDonnell (a.k.a. Slim Jim Phantom) and Brian Setzer throughout grade school. In the late 70s Rocker, McDonnell, and Setzer formed the rockabilly band the Stray Cats. The Stray Cats scored several hit songs (most notably the rousing "Rock This Town" in 1982) and released a few successful albums prior to breaking up in 1984. In 1985 Lee formed the group Phantom, Rocker & Slick with McDonnell and former David Bowie guitarist Earl Slick; they scored a minor hit with the song "Men Without Shame." The Stray Cats got back together in 1986, but this reunion proved to be short-lived. Among the musicians Rocker has collaborated with throughout the years are Carl Perkins, Dave Edmunds, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Jeff Beck, and Willie Nelson. Lee has recorded a handful of solo albums, starting with "Big Blue" in 1994 and "Atomic Boogie Hour" in 1995. In 2002 Rocker toured America with ex-Elvis Presley guitarist Scotty Moore. More recently Lee has released a few more albums: "Bulletproof" came out in 2003, "Racin' The Devil" followed in 2006, "Black Cat Bone" was issued in 2007, and "Rock This World" was released in 2009. Rocker continues to tour all over the country with his band. He lives in California with his wife Deborah and two children.
