"Book them! No, really BOOK THEM. What a Wedding Day we had topped off with a Twist of Rock. Communication was great with Dave. They learnt a song for us. They Rocked up on time and then rocked out. Two great sets of music, selected from their extensive play list. All our guests were in awe of how amazing Twist of Rock were, they filled the dance floor. Listen to their live videos if you need further proof. Have you BOOKED THEM YET!"

"We hired John Paul Band for our company celebration and they absolutely nailed it. The energy, the song selection, and the interaction with the audience were top level. They started with classy background music and later turned the night into a real party. The dance floor was full for hours. Professional, reliable, and easy to work with — exactly what you want for an important corporate event."

"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."

"Great professionals Maurizio and his team of musicians, accompanied by Corinne's wonderful voice, were the perfect soundtrack to our wedding day. They listened to our requests and managed to fulfill everything we had in mind. The result was truly exceptional! They flew from Genoa to Piedmont, where we celebrated the religious ceremony and reception. Great professionals, kind and friendly. The quality/price ratio is truly excellent! I highly recommend Maurizio and his entire team to all future spouses because they will truly fulfill your every request, thanks to their extensive experience and love of music."

"Outstanding! Deep Down Brass played at our wedding reception and were truly amazing. Adam and the rest of boys were great from start to finish. Communication with the band was quick and easy. They responded to dozens of questions we had in advance of the big day (usually within the hour) and helped to put together a wonderful playlist, accommodating several specific requests. They put our minds at ease with their responsiveness and professionalism. On the day, the band arrived on time, set up quickly and quietly and proceeded to play two wonderful 50min sets ranging from our first dance to some rather drunken dancing late in the evening. With a rather small wedding, we were concerned that no one would be dancing, but Deep Down Brass had everyone up and on the dance floor with their amazing music and infectious energy."
