Review Centre: Rock Bands

"Father’s Day Weekend with Joe and Gayle A plethora of high quality musical events greeted the mountain community on the long Father’s Day weekend. The weekend kicked off with the dynamite power trio, The Joe Ferraro Band, on the patio at Mountain High North on Saturday, June 17th. Forty-one vintage rock and blues offerings were delivered with high energy by Joe ( guitar and vocals) and the solid rhythm section of Phil Thomasson (bass) and Joe Faraci (drums). This veteran outfit featured vintage songs of Eric Clapton and Cream on “Badge”, “Outside Woman Blues”’, “Politician”, and “Strange Brew”. Joe Ferraro nailed the vocals and guitar artistry of arguably the best (“cream of the crop”) rock trio in history. The audience was treated to a fare by Howlin’ Wolf ((Spoonful; I ain’t Superstitious; Hootchie Cootchie Man)) and Ferraro’s own “Slewfoot”. Ferraro learned a thing or two from Albert King (“Crosscut Saw and Born Under a Bad Sign”);B.B.King (“Worried Life Blues”) and Freddie King (“I’m Tore Down”). The Fabulous Thunderbirds were well represented (“She’s Tuff” and “Tuff Enough”), as were Stevie Ray Vaughn (“Empty Arms” and “Mary Had a Little Lamb”). Want some Hendrix? How about “Stonefree and The Wind Cries Mary”? So many great songs played by Ferraro’s terrific group, if you closed your eyes, you would testify that Clapton had visited Wrightwood! "

"The Cheers played at our party on Saturday evening with a set between 8.30-9.30 and 10.00-11.00. They were FAB, with many of our guests asking how we had found such a great band. There pre-party arrangements were very easy with us being able to select a play list of our own choosing. We had the 5-piece band which was terrific. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"The band did a brilliant job at my wedding. They really got the crowd going and played a great selection of songs. In amongst all the stress of organising a wedding, the band was one thing I didn't need to worry about. Ben was really responsive to my questions and to the last minute requests that I had. Thanks so much. "

"The Coffin Dodgers put on an absolutely incredible show! From the first song to the last, they kept the energy high and the crowd engaged. Their set list was perfectly balanced, classic rock favourites mixed with their own unique sound, and a couple extra fun ones in there, which kept everyone in the room singing along. This was the first time in a while I’ve seen people get up to dance while in this restaurant bar. What impressed me most was how professional and tight their performance was; every member clearly knows their craft and loves what they do. The atmosphere in the venue completely shifted once they started playing, and you could see customers staying longer, eating, drinking, and enjoying themselves because of the music. If you’re looking for a band that can light up a room and leave people talking about the night for days afterward, this is the group to book! "

"Tuve la oportunidad de escuchar a este grupo en una fiesta de mi trabajo y me encantó!! Tienen un repertorio muy variado, para todos los públicos, de temas en general bastante conocidos tanto en inglés como en español. Punto a favor también las armonías vocales de las cantantes; me sorprendieron mucho."

"Wow! So much fun! Everyone needs more friends like this! Soaring lead vocals with spine tingling harmonies paired with melting lead guitar, keys and to top it all off groove inducing bass and drums. Rent a Friend Band is the whole package and provides something for everyone, with a set list curated from all your favorite hits spanning multiple generations! These fun loving professional musicians are a pleasure to work with. They had our venue popping and we can't wait to have them back."

"Gary is an outstanding musician and a pleasure to work. From our first conversation through the end of our party he is a true professional. We had a three hour 60th birthday party with people of various ages attending and Gary was absolutely fantastic creating the perfect mood with live acoustic music for our event as people socialized and ate. So many guests asked who he was and how we found him because they thought he was wonderful! He’s extremely talented. I highly recommend Gary and hope to have occasion to work with him again."

"Sticks and Stone played a fantastic concert of our school. I am the Music Specialist at a K-4 school and this group had everyone engaged, bobbing along in their seats, learning, and enjoying the incredible sounds from the marimba. The musicians interacted so incredibly with the students, staff, and guests. It was a blast for everyone! I highly recommend Sticks and Stone for any school program, or any other type of event. They are spectacular! "
