Review Centre: Americana Bands

"I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Everything Can Change, from Adam Karch and it's an interesting mix of acoustic and electric fused folk/blues music with solid vocals. Opening with It's Your Song, a contemporary, radio style track with a solid melody and clean acoustic guitar work, Adam Karch shows his stuff on vocal and guitar, backed by Richard Deschenes on bass and Marc-Andre Drouin on drums. JJ Cale's classic, After Midnight gets a substantial rework and I like it. Starting with acoustic slide and fine finger picking, Karch's stylistic vocal phrasing really changes the track and it's as cool as the original. Very nice. Porch Groove (Sunday Morning) is a real relaxing meandering melody on acoustic guitar. Very nice. Another nice cover is Bob Dylan's Don't Think Twice, It's Alright. Karch has one of those voices that is warm and refreshing and his picking style is clean and concise. Very nice. Wrapping the release is another Porch Groove (Saturday Evening) with a more contemporary finger picked melody. Karch is a talented musician and vocalist who has put together a real nice release. "

We were so thrilled that they were available and loved every minute of their performance. Thank you 🤩🤩👍"

"The absolute BEST! The R Factor was the highlight of our wedding last December. We had the largest dance floor possible at our venue, Saint Paul Hotel, and people were dancing on the carpet- The dance floor was PACKED all night. Almost a year later, we still have guests raving to us about our wedding band. They were professional, took short breaks (the shortest breaks I’ve ever seen at a wedding) and they played almost all of the songs we requested. I highly recommend R Factor for any event. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!"

"Yve has a very distinctive voice, and for someone of such small stature, the sound she makes is huge. I first came across Yve at a local festival, and she immediately won me over with her soulful bluesy sound. Since then I have seen her perform both as a solo artist and with a full band, and she never fails to impress. In fact every time you see her, you're reminded of exactly what it is you love about her. Off of the stage she's friendly and approachable and a pleasure to work with. She's easily one of the best female vocals I've heard in quite some time, and I'm glad that I found this jewel in the Norfolk countryside. I can't put into words just how good she is, you'll have to listen for yourself, but I can pretty much guarantee that you won't be disappointed! - Jon Seymour"

"Cold Weather Company is an excellent band! We hired them for our downtown music series and received rave reviews. They're fun to listen to and engage well with the audience. Some people came specifically to hear them after discovering them on Spotify! They're also very professional and easy to deal with. Highly recommend!"

"MISS LUCIE'S BLUES delivers an organic and rootsy feel, which grips your heart and makes you smile. The grassroots vibe is echoingly familiar and comforting, one can almost imagine sitting on a porch and sipping a cool iced tea."

"Absolutely fab! We booked Near Nashville for our wedding and they were even better live than their video! They played all our favourite hits and had everyone up on the dancefloor!"

"`Ryan is one of the best entertaining, interactive musicians that goes over and beyond when playing cover songs or one of his amazing originals. He is a kind hearted and genuine, he will donate his time for a cause, especially for sick children. I have dealt with hundreds of musicians throughout owning a bar and doing charity events and I can tell you that Ryan is probably the most professional entertainer that I have ever dealt with.`"

"I have known Jeff for quite a few years. Besides from being a great person, his performance on the stage is incredibility enthusiastic and he rocks ! His vocal range is what draws me to go see him play, no matter the distance or venue. "

"You guys are amazing!!! We just saw you at the winter carnival and yes the ice sculptures were good, but damn you guys brought the house down. I keep telling my wife, I freaking love this band. I usual dont dance in public around strangers but when you played Prince “I would Die for You” I couldn’t help but jam out! You have gained a couple of fans for life and will definitely come to any concert you do."

"Seen Jeff live in Tampa, Florida, USA. He was great. He had an energy that can't be described. I heard him play the funky classic Superstition like it was nobodies business. Y'all better watch out if he has his bongos with him. He can also slow it down for you with some smooth acoustic classics. I hope my boy brought the 1s and the 2s so he can spin some records for the crowd. Jeff definitely is a crowd pleaser and a showman! Id hire or watch him again anytime."
