Lee, Celine -& Dale Watson-

Sayonara Sucka (10") (black)

Celine Lee was born in Florida in the 80s but grew up listening to the music of the 40s and 50s and even older, thanks to her grandparents. On one side were the grandparents who would listen to Peggy Lee and Frank Sinatra and on the other side were a mix of a Slavic musician Grandfather ( who was also a Pro- Basketball player in the 50s) who taught his granddaughter Croatian folk songs , and Grandmother, the real Miss Atomic Bombshell 1949 (inspiration for one of her debut albums songs) originally from Oak Ridge Tennessee, who always had Hank Williams Sr, Patsy Cline, and Elvis playing on the turntable. Growing up being influenced by such music there was little surprise when she started her first band, Celine and the Hellbillies, the rebellious streak no doubt inspired by her Punk Rock music-loving parents. Feeling a change of atmosphere and familiarity would help her singing career , she moved to the Big Apple. It was there she starting singing with a few local Rockabilly bands and getting to know the big city's many great artists, and some national touring artists. One meeting was with Texas honky-tonker Dale Watson. " A friend told me that Dale Watson was playing in town and we went to the show. I got to chat with him about being a singer and appreciating his music" , said Celine. " But the real surprise came weeks later when in a Facebook message I was contacted by Dales record label and asked for permission to use a photo that I posted on my Facebook page! It was a candid shot taken by a friend from when I was a hostess at the Playboy Club. I was always the bad bunny at the club and doing what I wasnt supposed to do: drinking Champagne out of the bottle, having small rips in my pantyhose. And when that photo was taken, I had just gotten a warning and I one finger saluted, but jokingly, thats why Im smiling in it. A girlfriend happened to take a pic of it."
