Review Centre: Tribute Bands

"Final Edition were the entertainment at my wedding in May 2019. The wedding was at the Salt Rock Hotel In Ballito, North Coast of Kwazulu Natal. The band agreed to travel a long distance. The wedding was a great success and the band was on form and very professional. The hotel management asked if they would relocate to Ballito as they wanted to book them for hotel functions !"

"We had the privilege of them playing at my 30/30 Birthday party! I love music and I'm very particular about it. Lifetime Rocker are outstanding performers!! The energy of the group is uplifting and very entertaining. They have an endless playlist which keeps the dance floor full! Lifetime Rocker are extremely professional. They arrived at our agreed upon time to set up and make sure everything was just spot on! My birthday celebration was in October 2015, and to this day, I still receive complements from our guests about how outstanding the band was! If you're looking for a group to entertain you with great music and professionalism, Lifetime Rocker is the group of wonderful guys you want to have at your event!!"

"We booked Paul to sing for two sets after our corporate dinner and our guests loved it! Amazing to see that our crowd knew most of the songs and sang along. I'll definitely recommend Paul Hudson and we'll book him again! (10 / 10)Ray Underwood"

"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 had Pete Memphis (Elvis) come and entertain our party guests. Everyone loved him! I could not recommend him highly enough. Mum had the best birthday ever! I found the communication and booking process very easy. They certainly exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a good experience. No words can express how appreciative we are for making our Mum’s 80th birthday simply amazing."

"I'm so impressed! I think they surpassed Led Zeppelin! The vocalist's voice, the guitars, the organ, the drums—it all sounded like the original! Everyone's great, but the drummer deserves special mention—he's simply a genius!! I think they have a great career ahead of them!"
