The Lucas Gillan Trio plays a diverse repertoire, ranging from classic jazz to '70s soul to modern indie rock, all with an open improvisatory feel. The group creates an engaging listening experience that is both sophisticated and unpredictable, all while creating a warm and unobtrusive ambience.
The trio is committed to working with clients to craft a distinct musical experience for each event. Engagements are not "just another jazz gig," playing the same old standards. The trio constantly adds to the repertoire and adjusts set lists to achieve the perfect musical ambience for the particular venue or event.
My family & I are still buzzing about the FAB Lucas Gillan Trio sound that added just the right vibe to our event. "CLASSY"!! From my initial inquiry to the booking ... then the event day, our experience was as smooth as the Trio. Lucas listened well, flexed, delivered in style and ... delighted us with standards, faves, and special requests!! Guest of Honor, my Graduate, proclaimed, "The Music brought me such JOY!" We all agree to try to book the Lucas Gillan Trio, as avail., for future events! PERFECT for our occasion and venue! Maravilloso!
Response from Lucas Gillan Trio:
Hi Patricia,
Thank you so much for your kind review, and for booking my trio to play your grandson's graduation! It was a total pleasure to work with you and to participate in your wonderful event. We were so happy to perform for such an appreciative and receptive group, and we hope to do it again soon!
Best,
Lucas

Hello! My name is Lucas Gillan and I'm a professional drummer active in the Chicago area. I grew up in Tucson, AZ, but have been living in the Chicago area for over 10 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies from Northern Illinois University and am currently pursuing my master's degree in Jazz Studies at DePaul University.
I play drums in a variety of musical situations, including an original soul/R&B band, cover bands, and many modern jazz groups. I have toured throughout the country and have performed at all of Chicago's main jazz and rock venues, including the Green Mill, the Jazz Showcase, Constellation, Lincoln Hall and the Hideout. I also have extensive experience playing countless weddings, private events, and restaurants.
The Lucas Gillan Trio is my main outlet for providing music for private events and venues that are looking for a distinct live jazz ambience. We bring a wealth of professional experience to every gig, and would love to make your next event special!
