Dubh Lee

Dubh Lee is an Irish guitarist and singer-songwriter who emerged on the Dublin music scene in 2018 with her lively residency in The International Bar and has since entertained countless audiences across Ireland. With wide-ranging influences from folk, blues and rock and an unadorned, honest vocal style she writes songs that examine excess, ennui, heartache and womanhood.

The Offaly native has performed at festivals and events such as the Ruby Sessions, Electric Picnic, Fuinneamh and All Together Now as well as intimate shows opening for acts such as Alabama 3, Jerry Fish and Bagatelle. Dubh Lee's song ‘To My Sisters’ won the Night and Day song contest in 2023. She supported jazz band Jimmy’s Cousin on their Irish tour, which included performances in The Set Theatre in Kilkenny, Dolan’s in Limerick and The Sugar Club in Dublin. Not afraid of experimenting with genre, Dubh Lee’s vocals have featured on the tracks of hip-hop and drum’n’bass artists and her live shows are dynamic, with earnest acoustic folk tunes building up to intense, electric-guitar driven bangers. In 2020 she released Carousel, a bluesrock stomper with a psychedelic music video and themes of debauchery and despair.

Dubh Lee’s debut EP, Animals and Friends, came out in May 2023. The 4-track EP explores the artist’s internalized misogyny and romantic misadventures, with old and new sonic influences from Aldous Harding to The Band. The release was accompanied by an acoustic Irish tour, with 9 shows across multiple counties in April and May 2023. The singer’s sophomore EP, FUFO, will be released in 2025. The first single from this EP, entitled My Poor Boy, was released on May 9th 2025 with a music video premiered by XS Noize. The single was described as 'Lyrically pristine in execution and imaginative in subject delivery' by Jammerzine.
