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.
Their name comes from the fact that three of the four members, Jordan, McLauchlan, and Thomas, would often meet for lunch at Allen's restaurant on Danforth Avenue in Toronto, Ontario.
[1][2] 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.
[4] In 2012 they released a CD of holiday songs, Zuzu's Petals.
