JUNO-nominated singer Jess Lee takes you on a journey through the incredible life and songs of one of the greatest artists in country music history in "The Story of Merle Haggard". With a career spanning six decades, Haggard rose from poverty and prison to international fame through his songs about outlaws, underdogs, the heartbroken and the hard-living. He notched 40 #1 hits including ”Working Man Blues”, “Mama Tried”, “Silver Wings” and one of the most famous country songs of all time, “Okie From Muskogee”.
Jess Lee rose to fame as the lead singer of the Midnite Rodeo Band, charting 14 singles and numerous awards in the '80's before Lee went solo with songs like "Crowhill Road". Praised by Country Music News as the best pure country voice in Canada, Lee effortlessly emulates the rich, smooth baritone of Merle Haggard.
