Lunch At Allen's is a band consisting of four Canadian artists of folk, country, and popular music, Cindy Church, Marc Jordan, Murray McLauchlan and Ian Thomas.

History

The band was formed in 2004 initially for a one-off, eight-city tour, but they have continued to write and perform since. McLauchlan, who had not played professionally in a while at the time of the band's formation, formed the band after being diagnosed with a heart issue requiring quadruple-bypass heart surgery.[3] That year the group released a self-titled album.[4] Catch the Moon followed in 2007, and More Lunch at Allen's in 2010. In 2012 they released a CD of holiday songs, Zuzu's Petals.[5]

Lunch at Allen's went on tour in western Canada in 2016 and 2017.[6] [7] The group's album If It Feels Right was released in June, 2017.[8] [9]
