I would recommend Eugene for any kind of event though! He has the skills and experience you want when booking a professional. He is an amazing musician and extremely nice person. He took the time to make sure everything was perfect for the event and nailed it." Based in Auburn Hills, Michigan, United States (29 miles from Windsor) 10th May 2026 Joe McAuliffe - Private Photo of Free2B Music Ministries Free2B Music Ministries "Best blend of vocal harmonies and uplifting music. Always a wonderful experience at any events of Free2B." Based in Flint, Michigan, United States (60 miles from Windsor) Sheila Brown Photo of Rick Holland's Uptown Society Orchestra Rick Holland's Uptown Society Orchestra "All Music Review Thom Jurek The title of this set is an apt one. While much of the music presented by the Rick Holland-Evan Dobbins Little Big Band, it hearkens back -- in terms of its sophistication, confidence and outright jazz literacy, not nostalgically -- to an era when progressive jazz, and big bands (this one numbering 10 pieces) flourished on the scene. This is one sophisticated outfit. Featuring the arrangement and compositional skills of Brent Wallarab, Jim Martin, Bill Dobbins and Kerry Strayer, this band struts out the tradition and make some joyous, complex, and elegant music that reflects its own unique identity. The résumés of all these players are impressive and reflected in the confidence of the date. It opens with "SUNY-Triangle," a Martin composition that works its artful sleight-of-hand over Antonio Carlos Jobim's "Triste." Martin uses the rhythmically complex samba and drapes some tough, knotty twists and turns over it. The intro is a beautiful and raucous wake-up call, while the head of the tune, with its staggered entrances and exits -- including some fine soloing by John Viavattine on tenor and John Nyerges on piano -- give this tune a unique identity. "Creature Comfort" is a beautiful mid-tempo ballad by Wallarab with edgeless yet multi-dimensional dissonances written into its harmonics. It swings beautifully and includes a fine, punchy solo by tenorman Glenn Cashman. Besides the originals, there are some fine readings here as well. There's Wallarab's arrangement of Duke Ellington's "Black and Tan Fantasy" that's a thoroughly modern exercise losing none of Ellington's humor or rhythmic complexity. Likewise, Gerry Mulligan's haunting, wee-hours, "Night Lights," is given expert treatment here by Strayer, and Dean Keller's baritone saxophone playing combines Mulligan's sense of lyric and Ben Webster's sense of time. In Time's Shadow reveals that innovation need not sacrifice accessibility or swing. It is convincing evidence that the big band form is alive, well and full of surprises." Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, United States (142 miles from Windsor) Tom Jurek - AMG Photo of Elvis Tribute Band Elvis Tribute Band "I had the fortune to witness Todd Berry's Tribute to Elvis Presley on a Friday night at Calvary Community Church in Grove City Ohio. The program included historical footage intertwined with live music renditions. The timing was perfect as Todd and Elvis were singing simultaneously. The event was extremely professional, informative and entertaining. I highly recommend this program to any organization."
