Murray Lightburn
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Murray Lightburn is a Canadian musician, most predominantly as the lead vocalist and songwriter for The Dears. Lightburn has been called "the black Morrissey" [1] due to his vocal similarity (and shared penchant for somewhat dark lyrics) to the former The Smiths lead singer. Incidentally, The Dears toured as Morrissey's opening act during Morrissey's solo tour.
Between 2004 and 2005 Lightburn contributed with the Canadian indie rock supergroup Broken Social Scene, he took part of the third studio album released by this band Broken Social Scene (album) along with other well-known musicians including Charles Spearin from Do Make Say Think.
In 2005, Lightburn married fellow band member, keyboardist/singer Natalia Yanchak. They have a daughter named Neptune Lightburn.
