Grammy-nominated STRAY CATS Founder & Bass Player Hall of Famer
Lee Rocker made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning, and rocking his giant upright bass as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated music group the STRAY CATS. The Stray Cats sold over 10 million albums, garnered 23 gold and platinum certified records, and were among the early music-video pioneers of MTV. The Stray Cats’ worldwide mega hits, “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut,” and “Sexy and Seventeen” have become a part of the fabric of rock n roll.
From appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine and as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, to headlining the world’s biggest festivals and touring with the Rolling Stones, Lee Rocker has seen and done it all! In addition to his career with the Stray Cats, Lee Rocker has recorded and performed with George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Willie Nelson, Leon Russell, John Fogerty, and Carl Perkins. Rocker has also received numerous honors for his contributions to music and the arts, including being inducted to the Bass Player Hall of Fame, the Rockabilly Hall of Fame, the Long Island Music Hall of Fame, and he is a recipient of the Visionary Artist Award by his home city of Laguna Beach, California.
This show is part of the Weinberg Center’s Centennial Events, celebrating 100 years of entertainment in our historic building. The Weinberg Center, located in the heart of Downtown Frederick, MD, offers a historic backdrop and timeless atmosphere for a meaningful entertainment experience.
