BRITISH SINGER-SONGWRITER LEE MACDOUGALL WRAPS UP
SECOND
U.S. TOUR WITH PLANS FOR RETURN VISIT IN SPRING, 2012
Rising British singer-songwriter-guitarist Lee MacDougall, who first arrived on U.S. shores in February, has just completed his second multi-city American tour and is already set for a return in spring, 2012. Next stop for the personable artist will be a show in his hometown of London and a return visit to Germany, followed by shows supporting Atlantic Records artist Rumer on her multi-city U.K. tour.
MacDougall’s “All The Right Places” tour, which comprised nearly three dozen
shows in August and September, wrapped last week at New York’s famed Bitter End
nightspot, followed by the taping of the nationally-syndicated television
program, BetterTV. Over the course of the tour, he made appearances on
numerous local television programs in various markets, including taping a
session for Season 2 of “All Jack’d Up” on Dallas’ CBS11, which will air this
fall.
MacDougall has released two self-produced CDs—IF WALLS COULD TALK and
FOR A FEW TALES MORE—that have been available at his live shows and now from
his website (www.leemacdougallmusic.com).
Known for mesmerizing audiences with emotionally-driven melodies and resonating
vocals, he will be finishing a studio version of “Stay,” one of the standout
tracks from IF WALLS COULD TALK, with an eye toward servicing it to radio
in conjunction with his next U.S. tour. Music Connection Magazine wrote
of him: “MacDougall’s lyrics are like those out of a storybook, painting the
picture of love’s harsh realities through song. With soothing harmonies and
bright guitar strums, MacDougall is somehow able to turn the pain of love’s
emotion into something bittersweet.”
Originally from the fishing town of Grimsby in the north of England, MacDougall
emerged from the open mic night circuit in London that has spawned new acoustic
English artists in the last two years. His ability to couple a strong lyrical
narrative with a memorable melody has enabled him to establish an international
fan base.
