Born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1948, Lee Oskar landed in the States in the mid 60's and is most popularly known as one of the founding members of the seminal jam band WAR. Together with Harold Brown, BB Dickerson, Howard Scott, Lonie Jordan, Charles Miller, and “Papa Dee” Allen, WAR started out supporting the former Animal front man, Eric Burdon. Together with Burdon, their very first recorded effort contained the popular tune Spill The Wine, unleashing the genre-busting sound of WAR for the first time. Not far down the road the group set out on their own to compose and perform huge hits like, All Day Music, City Country City, Me and Baby Brother, Low Rider, Why Can't We Be Friends, The Cisco Kid, Slipping into Darkness, The World is a Ghetto, and many others. Today, the musical legacy of WAR continues as Lee and original members Howard Scott (guitar/vocal) BB Dickerson (bass/vocal) and Harold Brown (drums/vocal) continue to perform and collaborate as “The Lowrider Band.” The Lowrider Band has been performing around the country, jamming the classic hits they composed and promoting the new name to get the public ready for new music to come from the heart of the classic line-up.
