About the Artist
Hailing from Spokane, Washington, Mon Chéri have their hearts set on making every show a memorable and fun experience. Since its inception as a 2-piece in 2008, Mon Chéri has blossomed into a full four-piece retro-indie-pop band that loves to have fun. Since Patrick McHenry (guitar/vocals) and Caroline Francis (vocals) added Kurt Olson (upright bass) and Brandon Vasquez (drums) to the lineup, the result can only be described as chemistry at its finest. Watching them perform, one can see their inherent joy and love for the music they play, as well as the friendship and close relationships they have built with each other… it’s infectious, really.Technical Requirements:
Power in the front. Power in the back. And enough juice in your PA for 2 vocals and small/medium/large spaces…
