Murray A. Lightburn is a Canadian musician, 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 The Smiths lead singer. Incidentally, The Dears toured as Morrissey's opening act during Morrissey's solo tour in 2006.
In 2013 he released the solo album Mass: Light. His second solo album, Hear Me Out, was released in 2019.
His album Once Upon a Time in Montreal was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize.
