The Tiger Review Interviews Lee MacDougall!

British Singer Lee MacDougall finds passion in singing and songwriting

Dreaming to be something more than a worker at a local fish processing factory, Lee MacDougall, a singer and songwriter from England, took the bold step and put himself and his music out for the world to enjoy.
Tahlequah High was able to interview the singer via phone call while he was on his way to Tuscaloosa, Alabama for the Tuscaloosa tornado relief show.
MacDougall says that his inspiration for his music is life itself, being alive, traveling and meeting new people.
“I am inspired by the human psychology, I find everything interesting,” said MacDougall.
But he had to start somewhere; MacDougall says that he performed his first show in his hometown of Grimsby at the age of 15 in a youth club.
“I was really nervous before the show, and I was thinking that if it went really well I was going to be a singer. And if it doesn’t then I will totally go and work in a fish factory. I think 4 people clapped, it felt so good and I wanted more of that.”
Currently MacDougall is touring the United States. He says his favorite part of touring in the US is the differences and variations among the towns that he travels to.

Dallas Observer Talks with Lee MacDougall

Here's a recent article from the Dallas Observer. I'm bad & totally missed this one-- check it out!

Singer-songwriter Lee MacDougall hails from England, but the guy just can't seem to get enough of America. Earlier this year, MacDougall made his maiden tour of our fair country. Just a few months later, he's back for more. And, seeing that MacDougall's music is heavily influenced by Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty, America seems a pretty good place to ply his craft.

Speaking from a tour stop in Atlanta and in anticipation of his upcoming, Saturday night performance at Poor David's Pub, MacDougall was kind enough to talk to DC9 about making his way from a lowly fish processing plant in England to sharing stages with Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.

Lee MacDougall talks with Awaiting The Flood!

Here's a new interview with Lee while he's out on tour! Go see him!! You will be glad you did! :)

Before Lee MacDougall took the stage in Nashville on August 13, I got a chance to talk with him for a few minutes. With his easy, charming wit, Lee discussed heavy metal, TJ Maxx, and his mom.

ATF: How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard you?

LM: Um, wow. No one’s ever asked that before. I guess I would say they’re like…three minute movies. I try to tell a whole story in just three minutes. Like storyteller folk pop.

ATF: You’ve been playing for quite a while. What have you found to be the better teacher over the years–experience or lessons?

LM: Oh, experience. I’ve never had lessons. The more you play, the more confident you get, I suppose. It’s really strange, actually… I had two months off over the summer, and my first show back was really crazy. You literally need to play every night, I think, and then you start to get in a rhythm. Just play and play and play.

Article: Lee MacDougall puts life into Spring Break for Dallas

I came across this article from Examiner.com and decided to share it with you all because I'm so excited!!

Tonight, I'll be tweeting live from Lee's concert so stay tuned for tweets and deets!!

It is spring break week in Texas and those of people still in the Dallas area may be wondering what they can do this week to have fun and pass the time. Dallas may not be a hot bed of entertainment, however we do get our little spurts of amazing.

One of these little spurts will be arriving to Dallas on Tuesday, March 15. Lee MacDougall is a London based singer, who brings new life to the pop genre. His songs are for the most part upbeat and make you feel happy, regardless of what the lyrics are saying. MacDougall is definitely a must see if you are still in Dallas.

Per Lee’s bio, he was influenced by the Englishness, storytelling, and songwriting of the Beatles, Kinks, Rod Stewart while also feeling inspired by Nirvana and Tom Petty, Lee MacDougall has attracted the attention of various people in the London music scene and has opened for some amazing musicians such as Train, The Feeling, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison.

During this time producer Jim Lowe, responsible for number one singles and albums by the Stereophonics, Taylor Swift and the Charlatans, became a fan and started recording versions of Lee's songs. "She" and "Stay" came out of these sessions.

Lee released an EP on iTunes during July 2010, selling 2000 copies in the first 2 weeks with no press or promo - purely through online fan base. Word got out in the Twilight community that Lee has written for Rob Pattinson and fan reaction has been great.
