Cheney Lambert started playing the trumpet in the Regina Lions Band and graduated from the program in 2001. That fall, he enrolled in the Industrial Systems Engineering program at the University of Regina but continued playing in the University Jazz Band, where he was featured as the lead trumpeter in the band. After a few semesters, Cheney started taking lessons from Dr. Ed Lewis. Cheney started to gain an appreciation for jazz improvisation and focused on developing that aspect of his playing. At this time, he was starting to play around Regina, but he obtained his first regular professional gig with Stepchyle, a funk/soul group in Regina. Since then, he has had the honor to share the stage with The Temptations, The Jordanaires, Theresa Sokyrka, Petula Clarke, Lew Soloff, and the Bob Moyer Big Band. Cheney continues to play with Stepchyle and has recently started playing with Rory Allen’s “Tribute to the King” show.
