"Rachel and Peter were fantastic. So enthusiastic, punctual and sorted themselves out - great service all round. They got everyone up dancing and judged the song choices to perfection. I cannot recommend them highly enough."

"I hired Almost Aldean to perform for a fundraiser for a local Fraternal Order of Police concert, The band was great and Shayne was excellent as a Aldean tribute. They were very entertaining, kept the audience involved and every person in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the concert. I would highly recommend this band if you are looking for a fantastic Jason Aldean tribute band." -Waive Sharp, OwnerAgent"

"Shack N Up is a wonderfully talented duo who sings a wide variety of genres sure to please everyone. They are high energy, professional, not to mention uber talented. They always get the audience singing, dancing, and clapping along to recognizable tunes. Chuck and Cheri always draw the crowd to whatever venue they are playing. I highly recommend them!"

"We hired the Upbeats Duo for my wifes 50th birthday party and they were genuinely fantastic. Communication throughout the booking process and run up to the party was first class. They arrived on time and were set-up and ready to go exactly to the timetable we had agreed. The performance itself was really good and they had added a couple of my wife's favourites into the set. We were a fairly small group of fifty but that did not dampen the Upbeats enthusiasm. If you booked them for an event I can't see how you would be disappointed. "

"I booked John on Saturday 15th Feb 2020 for a Johnny Cash tribute night. The evening was planned to encourage customers to book a night out following the Friday Valentines evening. John did not disappoint …………….. Since taking over the Golden Boar, the evening was one of the best nights we've had so far. From when he arrived, set up through to a packed dance floor he was professional and a true entertainer. He will definitely be coming back Thanks John for a great night "

"Rob is a fantastic musician with a wide range of classic music to make people feel good and get up and start dancing. His vocals are amazing and never fail to get everyones attention. He is happy to take requests from the audience. Also, he plays for a long time without taking a break so there is no break up in continuity. Keep up the good work Rob."

"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."

"We met Rachel and Peter, The Upbeats Duo, on a cruise and loved their show so much, we bought the CD. Two years later, we got in touch with them to see if they could play at my husband’s 70th birthday. We were delighted when they said yes. We thought that pleasing an age range from 19 to 70 would be a struggle, but no, the Upbeats catered for all of us. Rachel and Peter are an absolutely delightful couple, immensely talented with various instruments and singing. The dance floor was hopping from the get-go until we had to finish. The encores would still be going on now, but sadly we had to eventually stop the evening. Have your entertainment provided by Rachel and Peter and you won’t be disappointed. Oh and they’re both utterly gorgeous too! "

"Dennis the Entertainer! Unlike most strum and hummers who are all about themselves, Dennis is that special performer who focuses on the crowd. I was lucky enough to have him perform on my stage at the Napa Valley County Expo and the entire crowd was smiling and tapping their toes and singing along with their families and friends. I hope he’s available the next time I need a crowd-pleaser!"
