To sum up Lee Aaron’s career in one paragraph is near impossible. This legendary rock diva started out singing jazz and Broadway standards in musical theatre in the Toronto suburbs, hanging out in music class after school, practicing and picking the brains of her instructors. By 15 she had formed a rock band, singing, playing keyboards and sax, and began playing all-ages shows. Her new album, Fire and Gasoline, sees a resurgent, revitalized and energized Lee Aaron re-emerging into the rock ‘n’ roll world with an album that is sophisticated, thought provoking, sublimely entertaining and a whole lot of rockin’ fun. http://www.leeaaron.com/fire-and-gasoline-video


I had the honor to have been selected as a photojournalist for The Wire Megazine to capture her essence live in Hamilton back in November of 2015.  So thrilled to be chosen once again to photograph and review her show this time in Etobicoke at the Rockpile on Feb 15th, 2019.   
Enjoy a reminiscent moment of mine http://www.leeaaron.com/the-wire-megazine
