Murray Lightburn

Murray Lightburn is a Canadian singer, songwriter and musician from Brossard, Quebec. Best known as the lead vocalist and principal songwriter for The Dears. Lightburn has been called "the black Morrissey" due to his vocal similarity (and shared penchant for somewhat dark lyrics) to the former lead singer of The Smiths. Incidentally, The Dears opened for Morrissey twice in 2004 by special invite. Son of Rev. William J. Lightburn.
