The Sidewalk Crusaders A band suitable for festivals, parties, weddings, corporate events, and more!

Our requirements change based on the amount of members and instruments we have, however, in general, we need at least one electrical outlet and at least two parking spots. We also need a performance area of 5' x 5' minimum if we have a small number of band members.

Venue information we need includes: where a green room is, if parking is free, and if not, if we would be reimbursed, what specific area of the venue we are playing in, what the loading in and out situation is, and where an electrical outlet would be.

If needed, we can provide sound and lighting.

We can provide a Spotify/DJ service between our sets.

Playing at the Dubai Shopping Festival in Dubai, UAE is the best gig we have ever done. The environment was very high energy and fun, and we had a lot of great interactions with the guests.

We love all events where we are able to play with high energy and connect with our audiences. This includes events such as festivals, parties, and weddings, though we love all events :).

We started out busking in Toronto, Ontario, and gradually overtime we received more and more gigs from being out in the public performing music.

Patrick Bartley, Chris Potter, Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarret, 8-bit big band. One of our favourite songs is Somewhere over the Rainbow.

We can perform as a group as small as two members and as large as 15+ members. We can also provide single musicians for events. We normally arrive at events 1 hour before the performance to set up. Our performances are normally anywhere between 15 minutes and 7+ hours long.

We are happy to perform outside or inside.

Clients are free to let us know any song requests they have. Depending on the request, there may or may not be an additional fee.

Clients normally describe our performances as high energy, exciting performances, that are able to start and maintain a party. When we have been hired to provide background music for events, clients have told us that the music was soothing and not overpowering.
