Mel “Buddy” Lee Dobberteen

BUDDY LEE & THE BACKROAD BAND

“Buddy Lee is hotter than a two dollar pistol, one of the best new writers I ever heard.” – Craig Hillis (legendary gold record guitarist for Jerry Jeff Walker and Michael Martin Murphy)

he grew up huntin’, drinkin’ and fightin’ like any good redneck. You can find Buddy in the company of well-respected folk, rock, and country music artists. Buddy Lee gives credit to God for putting him in situations where he was writing songs with Will Callery (Grammy Award-nominated), jamming with musicians like Colbie Callait, Roger Creager and Monty Montgomery, and sharing the stage with artists like Bryan White (Grammy winner), Ray Benson, and Jimmy LaFave. Buddy just completed a record Produced by Legendary Drummer and Producer Jamie Oldaker (Eric Clapton, Peter Frampton, Bob Seger & Rock & Roll HOFF 2010 Inductee, 30 gold or Platinum Records) which has had more grammy nominated artists on there than songs. Buddy Lee has worked with Artho Smith, Brian White, Tom T. Hall, Stan Webb, Walt Wilkins, Ryan Bingham, Eli Young Band and many many more…
