Crossroads County is the voice of resilience, grit, and lived experience — born from the life of Australian quadriplegic songwriter Lee Bullock.
At five years old, Lee was struck by a car while riding his bike home. He was airlifted to hospital and spent four months undergoing multiple surgeries. Originally diagnosed with a brain injury, the truth emerged 19 years later: Lee had a catastrophic C3 spinal injury. He is completely paralysed from the neck down and relies on a team of carers for daily life.
What Lee lost physically, he found in words.
At twelve, a family friend took him to band rehearsals, planting a seed that would quietly change his life. Unable to play instruments, Lee turned to poetry, then scripts, and eventually songwriting. Collaborations followed before technology gave him full creative independence, allowing him to compose entirely on his own.
Crossroads County blends blues and rock with grit, soul, and emotional weight — shaped by real loss, survival, and hope. The lyrics are raw and deeply personal, carrying stories born at the edge of limitation and imagination.
Crossroads County is more than a band — it is freedom. A way to release everything trapped inside a paralysed body and turn it into sound, with one dream driving it forward: to bring these songs to life on the open road.
