Band bios
Meet the players behind Paradise Lanes
Four seasoned performers, four different musical paths, and one live band built around strong songs, harmony, groove, and room-connecting energy.
Vocals / Rhythm Guitar
Rich Panteluk
Raised on a steady diet of great 60's beat and vocal group records, Rich was an obsessed music fan and singer from a ridiculously early age. After consuming and wearing out his father's record collection he started amassing his own diverse rock and pop music collection, which has now reached epic proportions.
A veteran busker in Calgary for well over 20 years, Rich got his start singing and playing a snare drum with an office desk bell as a cymbal in a busking duo. After a few years, he moved over to playing rhythm guitar and hasn't looked back. A driven street performer who played often and everywhere in Calgary and all over Canada, his busking adventures have taken him to New York, Los Angeles, London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Amsterdam and Prague to name but a few.
Rich spent time in the 1990's and early 2000's writing songs, singing and playing guitar in original bands around Calgary as well as being the musical director of a theatre company.
Rich is a singer's singer who is in his element arranging and singing harmonies. While he handles the lion's share of the lead vocals in Paradise Lanes, he is just as happy singing background harmonies and banging out chords on rhythm guitar. He is always looking forward to getting together with the good gents of Paradise Lanes for the next rehearsal or gig!
Drums / Vocals
Seán Sabraw
Seán is the rhythm and groove-keeper for Paradise Lanes, singing leads and harmonies from behind the drumkit. Singing since he could find the words to the melodies he'd been humming, Seán was trained in school choirs from age 7-11, and devoured all music from his older family members through his junior high years.
Putting his sticks to the skins since he was 15, Seán has provided the backbeat to other Calgary bands such as The Hot O'Malley's, One Tribe, Public Matter, Roscoe Pecoe, as well as audio recordings for Paradise Lanes, Mel Smith, the Buccaneers, and Jessica Erlendson. Though he sits near the back, Seán stands out as any of the frontmen in Paradise Lanes.
Seán also plays Guitar, Bodhran and sings with other Calgary acts Staggered Pints and Wild Roses. He has also released an independent 5 song EP, that was recorded live at the Schloss Heidegg (Heidegg Castle) in Gelfingen, Switzerland.
He has also been teaching Guitar since '06, with Calgary Contemporary School of Music and Irene Besse Academy. He has continued teaching independently for the past 4 years.
Bass / Harmonica / Vocals
Jaime Lawrence
Jaime is originally from St. John's, Newfoundland. He started his musical journey playing french horn and trombone throughout school.
In 1996, while living in Korea, a trip to the Samick instrument factory changed his musical perspective. It was here he found bass guitar. He's never looked back. With a wide range of band experiences under his belt which include, country bands, funk bands, recording and video credits, nothing gets him fired up like live music.
You'll often see Jaime dancing with the crowd, while layin' down sock-rockin-funk-flyin-cosmic-stew-slappin'-pluckin-sometimes-punchin the beat on his Rickenbacker, uBass, 1975 Fender Jazz, Yamaha BB Jazz, or Fender P-Bass. Scratch him behind the ear and he'll love you for life.
Lead Guitar / Keyboard / Harmonica / Vocals
Russ Didham
Born in Collinet, Newfoundland, Russ's musical journey began at 10 years old when he first learned piano. Though he later shifted focus to guitar, his passion for music only grew. By 14, he was already playing in his first classic rock band, performing alongside his father in a classic rock/country band.
As he got older, Russ expanded his musical repertoire, playing banjo, harmonica, and bass guitar. He eventually joined a country band and toured across Newfoundland. Russ later rejoined his original classic rock band, and they played all across Newfoundland.
Russ moved to Alberta in 2006. Since then, he has performed a couple of private parties, solo gigs and some Christmas and New Year's parties solo. Eventually, he got the itch to join a full band again and paired up with the boys of Paradise Lanes.
