Merritt boasts being: The Country Music Capital of Canada. Merritt annually hosts the largest country music festival in Canada where over 150,000 visitors come to Merritt for the 4 day event. Some of Country Music biggest recording stars perform at the event.

To honor and pay tribute for their performance a plaque with their hand prints, signature, picture and some with a personal note are encased in a wooden frame display case and installed on the streets of downtown. The Walk of Stars walking tour highlights some of the historical, western and country music murals painted on the side of many of the downtown buildings. Many of these murals highlight some of Country Music biggest stars.

Lee was born in the small prairie town of Lavoy, Alberta. The youngest of six children, he spent his early years growing up on the family farm that had been passed down through the generations.<

Lee wrote the majority of the songs on his first CD. After the press and radio attention, Lee was very much in demand in the live circuit headlining many festivals, rodeos, fairs and cattleman events.

Lee recorded his second album "Rewind" which had great success in Canada and hit the Top 10 in Europe. In 2010/11, he released the single "Paycheck to Paycheck" which hit #1 in Europe!

Due to his success, he has performed at many music festivals and events such as Big Valley Jamboree, Merritt Mountain Music Festival, Calgary Stampede and Festival.
