Chris Gale is a Toronto-based, nationally recognized saxophonist, composer, producer, and educator whose driving style and rich tone can be heard on over one hundred and fifty recordings. As a leader and a sideman, Gale has performed around the globe in theatres, clubs, and at festivals, impressing crowds with his lyrical sensibility and soulful approach.

Chris has performed with Colin James, Michael Kaeshammer, Blue Rodeo, Jeff Healey, Arkells, Ron Sexsmith, Brandi Disterheft, Johnny Reid, The Powder Blues Band, and more. Gale is also a longstanding member of The Worst Pop Band Ever and Gordon Mowat’s Skeleton Crew.

As a leader, Chris recently released Uncharted with his group Hector, featuring Ted Quinlan (guitar), Jeff McLeod (Hammond B3 organ), and Chris Wallace (drums).

“I’ll quite happily go out of my way to hear Chris Gale, a tenor saxophonist – among Toronto’s finest – who has matched an impressively sure, though not showy command of the instrument to a strong sense of its older and newer traditions in the service of a distinctive style that is timelessly melodic yet distinctively modern.”
