"Thank you Afterglow. Absolutely exceeded our expectations! We held a birthday party at home and Deb and Afterglow managed to get the whole crowd up dancing and singing along. They are super friendly and made our event one to remember by everyone who was there. Deb has the most amazing voice. Highly recommend and will definitely ask them along to our next event (along with most of our guests!)."

"We have seen Brandi perform three times now. The most recent was our hire on 10-7 for our rehearsal dinner. Brandi is a Very Talented and Accomplished Artist. A talented artist can take someone else's original and make it their own. Brandi does this song after song. When she performs she still honors the original artist. Yet she takes that song, makes it her own, and you truly feel like you are at her concert. Brandi's wide genre makes her very eclectic. She will please the earliest listener to the elderly Grandparent at your party. She is very approachable, cooperative, she came early and is a true professional. We found ourselves answering the same question, all night long, from our guests. Wow! where did you find this girl? Our guests were having such a great time they truly did not want to leave. After asking Brandi to play a little longer, our dinner turned into a very enjoyable 3 1/2 hour event. If you're looking for a talented, professional, an organized artist and a way to WOW your guests --- Brandi Paige should be the first on your list."

"Loved having Johnny come play at my Grandmas funeral. We called a day and a half before the service and Johnny was able to work us into his schedule. He was kind and very professional. Would recommend him to anyone!"

"Tony Vani is almost as well known for generously encouraging and showcasing fellow musicians as he is for his versatility as a musician in his own right. His focus is on blues and classic rock with his band, “Stir” (Mark Bishop, bass; Shirley Dianne Baker, vocals; and, Christ Whiteman, drums). He also plays gospel blues with “Tony Vani and the Holy Blues Band” (Vitas Slapkauskas, bass; Matt Smith, guitar and, Chris Lingard, drums) and performing Delta blues in his duo with slide guitarist Kenny Pauze or by working solo. As every musician knows, you are not a true musician unless you have had that nightmare gig. Tony recalls one night at a club in Napanee when he had to do the walk of shame after being fired on the spot because his guitar string broke. Thus, he learned the great guitar player lesson: “though shalt not leave home without a spare guitar and have it tuned up, ready to go”. His most memorable gig was when he performed for his Mom on her 80th birthday – it was the first time she had ever heard him. Over the years, he has generously and tirelessly organized many open mics at The Belleville Club featuring a mix of amateur and professional musicians who perform solo or join in with others. He creates such a relaxing atmosphere that it feels like the concert is taking place in your living room. “I enjoy bringing out new people and watching their confidence grow. Music is therapy. People have the opportunity to try out new things, have a safe place to practice performing in public, and besides, it’s fun”, he laughs. Known predominantly for his harp playing, his favourite harmonica influences include Little Walter, Paul Butterfield, Charlie Mussellwhite and Corky Siegal. “I am so impressed with their tone, virtuosity, rawness and overall feel”, he says. Other musical influences include Eric Clapton, The Allman Brothers, John Mayall, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnston. Self-described as self-taught, he says: “I always had awareness of what my personal style would be and I sought out teachers or I learned from playing along with records. I followed my passion.” He has just released a new CD of original material entitled “Her Blues” based on his own personal life experience of living with a loved one’s suffering. It’s a 7 year labour of love that is deeply reflected in the songs he has included on this album. Tony divides his time between his music, working with physically and mentally-challenged adults and living with his partner Debbie Hoskins, owner of the seven dogs who run their household. Find him at www.tonyvani.com or on Facebook @TonyVani and go out to support live music because #livemusicmatters."

"Jennifer 5.0 Perfect for our little mirco wedding--and no stress to work with Jennifer was one of those vendors you book and don't have to worry about. She was clear about what she needed and once we provided information--she was there. When we asked for our music to come as a recording to be used for our rehearsal, it file was great. Booking ceremony music is hard because, as a bride, you never get to hear them until you're walking down the aisle. But all of our guests commented on how great it was to have her perform a list from classic Bach to Blink 182. She helped us to create some very important memories and I've so grateful to her for that. Highly recommend! Sent on 12/Sep/2024"

"I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them"
