CHRIS HOULE | DRUMS, PERCUSSION

Drummer Chris Houle comes from a long line of musical talents. Growing up with music from a very young age as part of the musical McCann family legacy, he started playing drums at the age of 9 when he got his first kit. He joined the stage/big band in his first year of high school and has never looked back. Chris has performed with many bands over the years, including Cougar Chick Tribute Band, Ragged Faith, Bad Influence, Blues Chronicle, Private Stock, and Blue Groove to name just a few. Chris also occasionally sits in on drums and lends vocals with local favorites Chris McCann and Straight Goods, Staggering Punters, Next in Line, and Full Moon Fever, enjoying the opportunity to play many diverse styles of music.

Currently, Chris performs with the Leslie Rohonczy Band, Disco Inferno, Comfortably Numb, 8 Track, and the Bird Show. Chris has also spent considerable time as a studio session player/arranger, and his work has been captured on several recordings with the Leslie Rohonczy Band, the Jenn Morin band, and others. Chris counts multiple decades of music as influences, ranging from the 1940's swing and big band sounds, to today's power pop and modern rock, blues, classic rock, pop, and yes, even disco! Chris's exceptional meter and hunger for all things new and challenging keeps the band fresh, and brings energy to live performances.
