Bassist Dave Reimer has played with Lee Aaron for the past 18 years. His other musical exploits include Randy Bachman, Bryan Adams, and Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts.

In addition to playing bass, Dave is also a songwriter and fantastic vocalist and has contributed background vocals, along with Lee, on the last six albums.   

West Coast drummer John Cody has played with literally hundreds of artists over the course of his career. From pioneers like Bo Diddley and the Fleetwoods – and even farther back to big bands and roots rockers Ray Condo & His Ricochets – to BTO and Prism and many others. In 2023 John released his first book, Happy Forever (the life and times of Turtles frontman Mark Volman) on Jawbone press, holding a #1 bestseller position on Amazon USA for several weeks post-release. John appears on the last six albums and his signature style of swing-rock has been a mainstay in the Lee Aaron band for the past 22 years.
