"Hi Alan  Thank you so much for creating the perfect mood and atmosphere at our wedding last month. I still cannot believe how many songs there were to choose from, but this allowed us to pick the songs that meant something to us and that we enjoyed to listen to as a couple which made the music even more special to us.   You played beautifully when I walked down the aisle, this helped my nerves thank you! And many of our guests complimented your talent and were signing along to the songs during our wedding breakfast.   You were a pleasure to deal with the whole time, emails were always responded to quickly and you were so helpful, thank you again.   Kind regards Sarah and Paul"

"March 26, 2017 Last night (March 25, 2017) the legendary Presley & Cash Highway Road Show pulled into Windsor for a night of fun, frolics and fundraising through the experience and dedication of two skilled local tribute artists. Paying Cash – The Johnny Cash Show and a Elvis brought the music of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley to the Olde Walkerville Theatre for a fundraising event for the Miracle League of Amherstburg. The show began with Harrow, Ontario tribute artist who brought the post-war Elvis to life in a vibrant and highly entertaining set. The music selection was unique, as was his leg-shaking performance. This was a true tribute and not really an over-the-top impersonation as we so often see. There were no jumpsuits, no giant belts and no overweight wig-wearing phonies – this was the cool suit-jacket wearing Elvis that the world loved in 1956 and 1957. He had enough looks and moves to pull it off and present a believable reproduction of the way Elvis moved, sang and even interacted at the peak of his musical return. The song selection resembled the King’s 1957 performance at the PNE in Vancouver with such non-traditional tracks like Blueberry Hill, That’s When Your Heartaches Begin and Peace in the Valley. In many ways the lead singer reminded me of an early Michael Buble, with just enough Elvis in the mix to make it plausible and entertaining, but also enough of himself to keep it fresh and lively. He nailed Elvis’ voice from the early years, as well as the swagger and personality we would expect in an early Elvis tribute. The Silvertones mastered the musical presentation and were the perfect band to backup the energetic Elvis show. After a lengthy set, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of incredible music could bring to the table if he decided to record some original music. It took a leap of faith to bring Buble his first recording contract, let’s hope someone does the same for him. Headliners Paying Cash captured the essence of 1968 Johnny Cash in both attitude and skill, pairing perfectly with 57-58 Elvis – these were the “attitude” years for both superstars, and although a decade apart, they seemed musically aligned at these specific intervals. The lead singers 12-year old daughter joined him on stage for three June Carter duets, and later when he acoustically took on Cash’s death-bed hit Hurt with guitar and piano accompaniment. The singer looked exactly like Cash at various times when he was at the mic, but he was always perfect when it came to the movements and nuances that Cash had on stage. You could actually see the fire in his eyes during such attitude anthems as Cocaine Blues, Folsom Prison Blues and Cry, Cry, Cry. That fire and his voice were right on par with Joaquin Phoenix’s movie adaptation of Cash, The band itself was so close to the original backup band that they should change their name to The Windsor Three. The guitarist handled the lead guitar as if he invented those licks himself, bassist injected some humour when he wasn’t playing his stand-up bass and drummer provided a solid drum beat throughout. The only thing missing was that they weren’t dressed in full black suits like The Tennesee Three probably would have been.The superstar of the show was his daughter, who charmed the audience with her stunning voice and light-hearted personality – a combination that played out in a fun and charming take on June Carter Cash for three songs, including the infamous relationship-song Jackson. Her personality and voice matched well with her fathers and the duets were a standout moment, much as they were in the movie Walk The Line. Paying Cash is a well put together band that captures the young and rebellious Johnny Cash like none other. This was the era of Johnny Cash that fans love the most and rarely get to see on its own in a tribute show. Should The lead singer and Paying Cash ever decide to hit the studio, I wouldn’t be surprised if the results sounded much like early Blue Rodeo, mixed with some good old Johnny Cash.If these two bands do play together again, the Presley-Cash combination is a sure fire knock-out not to be missed."

"Mark was extremely good at communicating from the start and was efficient at providing supporting documents for our venue. He performed for our drinks reception and very last minute offered to play us into our wedding breakfast with the song that we personally requested; he organised this very quickly with the best man who announced our entrance. We couldn't thank Mark enough for adding that extra special touch to our wedding day and would gladly recommend Mark to family/friends for all occasions!! Thank you so much :)"

"We invited the Eagles Ronstadt Experience to our Society annual meeting in Las Vegas and they CRUSHED IT. We got exactly what we thought we were purchasing, and the group was really easy to work with. I would recommend the ERE to anyone looking for a really skilled set of musicians for their corporate entertainment needs."

"My professional organization hired Simon Burke and his band to play at an after-conference happy hour event. The song selection was wonderful, and the band was perfectly set up to allow guests to talk to each other while also enjoying the music. We had so many positive comments from conference attendees who loved the music! Simon himself was a pleasure to work with and is very professional. We enjoyed the experience so much that we decided to hire him again for this year's conference. Highly recommend!"

"I want to say a big THANK YOU for playing for us at our Jubilee parade. It made such a difference having you there and added so much to the atmosphere and the occasion. Everybody seemed to enjoy the day and there were many smiling faces, despite the rain in the afternoon. I look forward to meeting with you again in the future and thank you again for being our piper. With kind regards Martyn"
