“His sidemen, I must say, were inspired— they gave every evidence that they KNEW they were, at this moment, the best rock ’n roll band in the world.” - Joel Patterson, audio & video producer


Luke Gill
Bass Guitar
Luke Gill unites with Michael Charles taking the bass man position and too boasts a strong support system at home. From his musical family Luke progressed as a classically trained pianist and concert bassist even before entering grade school. In his pre-teen years Luke’s Father took him down to 2120 S. Michigan in Chicago and revealed to him the Willie Dixon’s Blues Foundation in the old Chess Records building. Thoroughly fascinated Luke took the advantage throughout his early years to witness the music of, and take the opportunity to jam with, some of Chicago’s living blues legends including Eddie C. Campbell and Fernando Jones. Due to all this exposure Luke fell in love with different ways to play the bass guitar and worked at honing his craft. Fast forward to 2015 Luke adds another genre to his repertoire, chooses to delve into funk punk music, and becomes active in the Chicago “do it yourself” scene. A few years later and throughout the pandemic Luke concentrated even further on developing himself as a strong bass guitarist. In 2022 Luke eased into the bass player position with Michael Charles feeling strongly he is back to his roots as he “travels the roads” with MC!
