Chris Miskel

Chris Miskel is a Chicago drummer who carries on the Chicago reputation of producing some of the most talented musicians to date. By playing with many musicians, Chris has acquired the ability to play the drums in multiple styles and genres of music. He believes that adapting to the various musical situations is essential to being a well-rounded musician.

In 2003, Chris began touring with guitarist Nick Colionne and in late 2006, with smooth jazz artist Brian Culbertson during his Soulful Christmas tour. Chris is currently touring with Brian Culbertson and David Sanborn. Chris has also performed with R&B artists, Noel Goudin and Avant along with Gerald Albright, Howard Hewett, Boney James, Peabo Bryson, Branford Marsalis, Ray Parker Jr., Steve Cole, Michael Lington, Eric Darius, Marion Meadows, Marcus Johnson, Warren Hill, Mike Manson, Bobby Lyle, Darius Brooks and the Thompson Community Singers and a host of others.

When Chris is home between tours, he continues to strengthen his drumming techniques, solos and improvisation by performing in local clubs and participating in jam sessions. According to Chris, "the vibe you receive from playing in local clubs allows you to stretch out and just play! Playing what I feel and being able to transcend my vibe to the fans and get a reaction from them is what makes my job wonderful".
