Craig Lee and the Humblebees

Craig Lee and the Humblebees aim to get audiences singing along to their somehow familiar, instantly memorable choruses. With toe-tapping beats that make listeners want to move, their sound is both catchy and full of energy.

Frontman Craig Lee - singer, guitarist and songwriter - leads the band, which recently released its debut album, already surpassing 50,000 streams on Spotify. In the past year, they’ve supported acts like Chris Helme, The Bluetones and Blue, and performed at events including Tatton Park Foodies Festival and Britfest in Cheshire.

They received rousing ovations at the Forum Theatre Romiley, performing original songs written by Craig in his bedroom, alongside quirky covers. In 2024, they’ve shared stages with Crash Test Dummies, Chesney Hawkes, and Ben Ottewell of Gomez. Their music has been played on BBC Radio, XS Manchester, and Tameside Radio, and featured at Rochdale and Oldham football clubs.

The band has earned support from UFC star Paddy “The Baddy” and Tom Robinson of The Tom Robinson Band. They’ve been working closely with Dean Glover at Vibe Studios and are currently finalising four new singles with a more retro sound than previous releases.
