Think Gloria Estefan meets Amy Winehouse walking into a club to jam with the Tower of Power and Carlos Santana is playing guitar with Prince, all this is happening in Chicago. That’s the Legendary Lake Monsters from Vernon, British Columbia. Dance was the reason that The Legendary Lake Monsters formed in 2012, creating a dance band unlike any other in the Okanagan; a dynamic and entertaining horn-driven sound, playing music from a wide range of genres including Swing, R&B, 60s to 90s Pop and Rock (such as Blondie, Eurythmics, David Bowie, Van Morrison, B52, Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Beatles, etc), Rat Pack, Funk, Latin, and 21st-century horns-based music from artists such as Bruno Mars, Colin James, Cake, Amy Winehouse. Maroon Five, Trombone Shorty, Adele, Meghan Trainor, Magic, Shemekia Copeland, etc... The Monsters can do full sets of one genre, or mix them up depending on the event.
Members of the band have shared the stage with internationally known artists such as: Colin James, Mike Reno (Loverboy), Jo Burt (formerly of Black Sabbath), Dzal Martin (The Equals), Jack Lovin (Powder Blues), Russell Jackson (The BB King Band), Alfie Zappacosta, Paul Laine, and Sonny Rhodes (Sonny Rhodes Blues Band).
