About Fellow Camper

​

Fellow Camper is a folk duo featuring Lee Watson and Benjamin Roy. They sing in a close, two-part harmony style, drawing inspiration from Canadian folk pioneers who graced the stages of Toronto’s Yorkville music scene in the 60s and 70s. Combine that with a modern sensibility, and you’ve got Fellow Camper. 

 

Lee and Ben met as literal ‘fellow campers’ sitting around the fire on the shores of Beausoleil Island in Georgian Bay, Canada, trading off singing harmony to covers of their favourite American and Canadian folk singers, from the Everly Brothers to Ian & Sylvia, Watchhouse to Blue Rodeo. After a few years of impromptu campfire serenades, they recognized their unique blend was something special and sat down to write music that would blend the best of the vintage and contemporary folk sounds they love. 

 

Since 2021 they’ve played at stages and festivals across Ontario, including Mariposa Folk Festival and Riverfest Elora.  

 

For the better part of a decade, Lee wrote and performed as a founding member of Vancouver’s critically acclaimed The Breakmen, and released several solo albums through the 2010s. Ben spent his late teens and twenties performing in professional choirs and several bands and did a minor in Music at the University of Guelph.
