Meet The Band

Lee Sims began singing at five years old, listening to his mom & dad’s phonograph and singing along to the songs of Johnny Cash, Jim Reaves, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Hank Thompson, Johnny Horton and anyone else he could find in his mom & dads collection. his parents thought that he had a talent to sing and encouraged him to sing along and by eight his dad would take him to local musicians jam sessions so he could get practice singing in live situations.
       There was always a guitar around the house and at age twelve he started with music lessons on a lap steel, from that he went on to play guitar and start his own band. His first gig was a jr. high talent show and within two weeks he played his first job for money and has continued on that path to the present day.
       Lee has been a studio singer for years singing commercial jingles and demo’s for many a song writer. This experience eventually took him to Tennessee & the Nashville network, where he was a finalist on you can be a star.
         Lee’s credits also include performing with such country stars as Waylon Jennings, Kenny O”Dell, Tommy Overstreet, Tanya Tucker, Buck Owens, George Strait and the list goes on and on.
         Lee has recorded numerous songs through out his years in the music business, but he feels this latest collection of songs is the best yet and he hopes you agree.

Bert Sims began playing drums at twelve years old, by the time he was fourteen he was in his first band and began playing some of the local night clubs in the Denver area. Eventually he became interested in the bass guitar and by the time he was sixteen he had made the switch to bass and was fronting his own band. The day finally came he and Lee had the opportunity to combine their talents and form the Platte River Band.
Bert was born in San Francisco and due to the fact his father was in the military, the family got to see many parts of California and the desert southwest before settling in Colorado. Bert now calls Lakewood Colorado home and when he has free time he enjoys fishing, bowling, and golf.
