Lee Harvey Osmond, often stylized as LeE HARVeY OsMOND, is the brainchild of Canadian musician Tom Wilson, who embarked on this musical project as another distinct path from his varied career, which includes stints with bands such as Junkhouse and Blackie and the Rodeo Kings. The pseudonymous band name represents Wilson's foray into what he has termed "acid folk," where his deep, resonant vocals blend with an eclectic mix of psychedelic folk, rock, and Americana influences to create a sound that echoes with the grit and storytelling of bygone eras while retaining contemporary sharpness.

Since the inception of Lee Harvey Osmond in 2009, Tom Wilson has used this avatar to explore the darker and more introspective corners of songwriting, winning acclaim for the soulful authenticity and innovative compositions present in albums like "A Quiet Evil," "The Folk Sinner," and "Beautiful Scars." His 2019 album, "Mohawk," is not just an album but part of a larger narrative, aligning with Wilson’s discovery of his Mohawk heritage. This personal revelation has imbued his work with a new layer of meaning, reflected in the album's exploration of identity, heritage, and the complex tapestry of Canadian culture. Coupled with live performances that capture the raw energy and intimacy of his songcraft, such as the "Lee Harvey Osmond: Live from Latent Lounge" recording, Wilson continues to be a compelling figure in the North American music scene, leaving an indelible mark with his distinct blend of music and storytelling.
