Geddy Lee

Fender
 

Geddy Lee OC (born Gary Lee Weinrib, July 29, 1953) is a Jewish Canadian musician who is the vocalist, bassist, and keyboardist for the progressive rock group Rush. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Lee grew up as the son of Polish Jewish refugees who had both been survivors of Nazi concentration camps Dachau and Bergen-Belsen. Lee's stage name (and later legal name) "Geddy" was inspired by the heavily-accented pronunciation of his given first name "Gary" by his mother. In 2004, Canadian Jewish News featured Lee's reflections upon his mother's experiences and his own Jewish heritage.

Geddy was married to Nancy Young in 1976, and has a son named Julian and a daughter named Kyla Avril.
