Dubh Lee is a songwriter and guitarist who has entertained countless audiences across Ireland with her honest lyrics and bold stage presence. With wide-ranging influences from folk, indie rock and pop music she writes songs that examine excess, ennui, heartache and womanhood.
The Offaly native has performed at festivals and events such as, Electric Picnic, Fuinneamh, All Together Now and the Ruby Sessions 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 electric-guitar driven bangers. In 2020 she released her first single entitled Carousel, a bluesrock stomper with a psychedelic music video and themes of debauchery and heartache.
Dubh Lee’s debut EP, Animals and Friends, came out in May 2023. The 4-track EP explores romantic misadventures and friendship, 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. In 2025 she released two singles from her second EP (entitled FUFO). 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 second single Arms of Rubber was released in November 2025. The song and the music video explore the strained relationship between alcohol and craic in Ireland, and how the singer hangs in the balance. The final two songs from the EP will be released in Spring 2026 along with tour dates across Ireland and the UK.
