Who
are Dana Lee and Howie ?

Dana got her start in music singing in the church choir. She took
piano lessons for awhile but never quite caught on to reading music.
She got her first guitar when she was 6 and mostly learned to play by watching
and listening to others. When she was 12 she got her first drum set.
In highschool she played drums in the Stage, Marching and Concert bands,
Orchestra and Pit Orchestra for the school plays. Dana formed a rock
band in her senior year of high school in which she was the drummer and
lead vocalist. They played mostly the hits of the 70's. Back
then, the Doobie Brothers, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Pat Benetar, and the Eagles
where her musical influences. When the rock band broke up Dana hung
up her sticks for awhile and concentrated more on learning the guitar.
Still trying to find her nitch in life she attended the Recording Workshop
school in hopes of becoming a recording engineer. When she returned
from school she joined a country band playing drums and singing lead and
background vocals. After learning the do's and don'ts of running
a professional band playing for other people, she formed her own Country
band (Dana Lee and the Bootleg Band) where she was the lead vocalist, rythm
guitar player, fill in bass guitar player, sound engineer and manager.
In the last two years of the Bootleg country band, Dana hired Howie to
play lead guitar and sing the male vocal leads and harmomy. When
the country band broke up Dana and Howie formed the Acoustic Duo.
