Neil Donell (born May 23, 1962) is a Canadian singer who has worked extensively as a session musician and has been nominated for multiple Juno Awards. He is the lead tenor vocalist for the classic rock band Chicago.[1]
Originally from Montreal, Quebec, Donell moved to Toronto in the mid-1980s and is still a resident of that city.[2] He has a four-octave vocal range and has logged more than 10,000 sessions in his singing career. Donell's credits also include a few small acting roles and performing "Shining Time", with Maren Ord, in an episode of the TV series Shining Time Station.
In 2018, after the departure of Jeff Coffey, Donell was approached by Chicago’s original members (James Pankow, Lee Loughnane and Robert Lamm) to become the new tenor vocalist for the band. Having sung for many years in the Chicago tribute band, Brass Transit, Donell had previously auditioned for Chicago in 2016, following the departure of Jason Scheff.
