WEST COAST CHICAGO

When Chicago came onto the world stage, Paul fell in love with the jazz-rock phenomena. In West Coast Chicago he gets to bring Robert Lamm’s keyboard parts to life. Throughout his career, Paul has been a keyboardist and vocalist in rock, progressive and country-rock bands performing both covers and originals.

Mon is a multi-instrumentalist with the guitar being his primary instrument. As a global touring and studio musician Mon has played in multiple original and cover bands. Following a successful stint as a session musician, Mon released two original music albums with the band Headland as the composer, producer, and musical director prior to joining West Coast Chicago.

Mon performs the vocal and guitar parts of Terry Kath in West Coast Chicago.

When Chicago formed in ‘67 Scott was beginning school. By the release of their Greatest Hits album, he got his first acoustic guitar.  He learned “Wishing You Were Here” on the end of his bed. He never dreamt he would someday perform Chicago music on stage. In 2017 that dream came true.

Greg was trained as a classical trombone player but is at home playing in most music idioms. He has performed with orchestras, show bands, jazz ensembles and modern music groups in Ontario and British Columbia, has toured Europe as a soloist, and has shared the stage with international stars including Barbra Streisand, Michael Bublé, and the Temptations. 

 A lifetime aficionado of great horn bands, Garth brings a wealth of experience to West Coast Chicago. He's played trumpet and flugelhorn in military bands, chamber music groups, symphony orchestra, jazz bands, musical theatre and several R&B bands. Garth is particularly fond of the complex music of Chicago.

Graham's passion for all-things-saxophone inspired him to pursue a Bachelor of Music degree at UBC.  

Soon after music school a variety of professional adventures ensued. Touring extensively across Canada and the western United States, Graham performed with Skaboom, the Powder Blues, jazz beat poet Ralph, and Canadian pop legend Lee Aaron.  

Graham has wonderful memories of his first-ever rock concert, Chicago at the Pacific Coliseum.

Mike has been playing on the Vancouver scene for many years with such bands as Shadowfax, Portrait, and Redline. He also has played on numerous original recording projects. 

Mike first played with Paul in high school and played some Chicago songs sharing Paul's dream of someday playing in a tribute to one of the most iconic rock bands of all time.

 A graduate of McGill University with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Performance, Graham has been playing professionally since the age of 14. A well rounded musician, he plays both electric bass and double bass in Top 40 bands, big bands, small group jazz, musical theatre and symphony orchestras. With it's combination of high powered horns and hard hitting rhythm section Graham really enjoys playing the music of Chicago.
