Review Centre: Blues Bands

"David Reed - Belleville Intelligencer Tony Vani has been making music in the Belleville area for decades. Folks in the music community know him as a versatile performer, cranking out blues and classic rock with the Stir, gospel blues with Tony Vani and the Holy Blues Band, solo performances and some work with slide guitarist Kenny Pauze. Tony is a respected singer and guitarist, but it is his harmonica playing that really grabs me by the throat. The title track on Tony's, Her Blues CD, is a mournful confession with harmonica lines that seem to emanate from the depths of a troubled soul. The best description for his playing is “authentic.” I hear flashes of Charlie Musselwhite and the immortal Little Walter on a few tracks. (I’m also a sucker for a little tremolo on the guitar.) Other highlights include Die Trying, Still Got Her Soul, Price of Love, Catch You When You Fall and the hopeful Sun Will Rise. Tony Vani has got something truly special with his harmonica sound and he has lovingly crafted this collection over seven long years. You should check out this record."

"Greg Ballad's tribute was an absolute delight! His smooth vocals and charismatic stage presence made the audience groove to the soulful tunes of Luther Vandross, Barry White, and Teddy Pendergrass. It was a night filled with nostalgia and incredible talent. Bravo, Greg!"

"Arizona Apr 21 2024 5:18 PM The person who shared the gospel with me, (after 6 years when I finally got saved in 1988) gave me one of your albums to help me walk my walk through music. I’ve been a fan ever since. Raised my kids on your gospel centered groove, and you’ve always been high on my playlist. My son, who is now a youth pastor was playing your Love Education album this morning and our whole family played it in our individual trips to church today. My kids know all the words because it was always a road trip album. So blessed by you and your ministry of music. Here to support your renewed efforts for the next generation! Playing your music now for our grandkids at our backyard bbq on the Sabbath. Your legacy lives on and Gods reward is coming soon for turning so many heats to HIM through your music. God bless your new efforts and ministry."

"I only want to emphasise what my wife has written about the band that played at our wedding. The music was superb, and all the guests said how impressed they were with the choice of songs. They really did make our wedding a perfect day and gave us and our guests the party that we wanted. We can not praise them enough and its a shame that we can only give them 10 out of 10. Thank you all so much x"

"Dear Hot Wings, Thanks for a great performance at our wedding celebration in Italy during July 2018! You selected the repertoire seamlessly and added the specific music songs that were important to us to help us make this a very special event. We would gladly recommend you to others and ask you to play for us again. Your performance during the wedding ceremony and celebration was very much appreciated by all our guests representing more than ten different nationalities! You are playing a perfect mix of music with great engagement that is seen by everyone who has the pleasure to listen to your performance. We are very happy with the wonderful music you played, not to mention the dedication and willingness to come to Italy to join our wedding day! Many Thanks"

"After seeing Yve on YouTube for the first time singing that song ' Hurt ' I have since been transfixed by that beautiful voice of hers. She can sing a song and put it across to the audience with such passion and emotion , that it can leave not a dry eye in the house . Well, when I her sing live for the first time, firstly on her own and then with the Morganway , Yve didn't fail to deliver ! I was again Mesmerised by her beautiful voice and haunting melodies. One of the songs that Yve covers is Bob Dylan's , ' Buckets of Rain ' and some of the lyrics goes '... you do what you must do and ya do it well ' Yve does that in abundance ! First Class! - Michael Avery"

"Ho chiamato i ragazzi per una festa privata e ne sono rimasto alquanto sorpreso! Sono stati in grado di coinvolgere tutti i miei invitati con il loro format del viaggio della musica! Le canzoni del passato presente e futuro ci hanno fatto scatenare, ballare e anche commuoverci! Divertimento garantito e professionalità al top! "
