Geddy Lee Biography

OVERVIEW:Canadian musician best known as the lead vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the Canadian rock group Rush. Lee joined Rush in September 1968 at the request of his childhood friend, Alex Lifeson in order to replace frontman Jeff Jones.[1]

An award-winning musician, Lee`s style, technique, and skill on the bass guitar have proven very influential in the rock and heavy metal genres, inspiring such players as Steve Harris of Iron Maiden,[2] John Myung of Dream Theater,[3] Les Claypool of Primus,[4] and Cliff Burton of Metallica.[5]

In addition to his composing, arranging, and performing duties for Rush, Lee has produced albums for various other bands, including Rocket Science. Geddy Lee`s first solo effort, My Favourite Headache, was released in 2000.

Along with his Rush bandmates—Lifeson and drummer Neil Peart—Lee was made an Officer of the Order of Canada on May 9, 1996. The trio was the first rock band to be so honored, as a group.[6]

On May 1, 2007, Rush released Snakes & Arrows, their eighteenth full-length studio album. Rush has recently completed the 2007 Snakes & Arrows concert tour of North America and Europe, which began in Atlanta, GA on June 13, 2007.[7] On December 13th, Rush announced they will extend the Snakes & Arrows concert tour into 2008.[8]
EARLY LIFE:Geddy Lee was born Gary Lee Weinrib on July 29, 1953 in Willowdale, Toronto. Lee`s stage name, Geddy, was inspired by his mother`s heavily-accented pronunciation of his given first name, Gary, and it later became his highschool nickname before he adopted it as his stage name.[9] Lee`s parents were Jewish refugees from Poland who had been survivors of Nazi concentration camps Dachau and Bergen-Belsen during World War II. In 2004, Canadian Jewish News featured Lee`s reflections on his mother`s experiences as a refugee, and of his own Jewish heritage. [10]

Lee married Nancy Young in 1976. They have a son named Julian and a daughter named Kyla Avril.
