John Lee

John Patrick Lee is a thirty-year veteran of radio and television with over a decade of experience in the Little Rock market. He is married to Sara Cargill and is father to Amy Lee, Bonnie, Lori, Carrie and Robby. In addition to playing music, John is a big listener too, and spends a lot of time hanging out at the local record shops. John's love of music runs deep and with his wife Sara, who was a music major, he had instilled the love of music in his four children each of which play and sing. k1063radio.com

In his mid twenties, John was a member of The Hard Luck Band - a local cover band popular in Riverside and Orange County California. EvBoard.com

Nightflying Magazine (Little Rock) asked John Lee to write a review of The Open Door from a dad's point of view for an upcoming issue. He was kind enough to post the text of the article he did write (more of a story about the genesis of The Open Door than a review) on EvBoard.[1] He revealed he encouraged Amy to fight for the album after Wind-Up Records wanted to make her scrap it and rewrite it to make it more commercial.[1]

In 2016, Amy went into the studio with him to record four songs as a 60th birthday present to him, but these songs were later included on her children's album, Dream Too Much, after Amazon approached her about making a children's album. He sang vocals, performed ukulele, guitar, banjo and dobro, and co-wrote "Little Bird", "The End of the Book" and "If You're a Star."[2]
