Four Lanes Wide Classic Rock Band
"I saw four Lanes Wide last night in Brighton and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them! I knew every single song they played. They covered a great variety of artists and played all hit songs. I especially liked the Canadian content. It would have been nice to hear a BTO or Guess Who song but they were great!"
Ed's Garage

Good To Go
"Perfect for our event. Flexible and engaging
We had a wonderful time with Mike and Suzanne celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. They were very responsive, flexible, reasonably priced, and even took some requests for specific songs. They also did a great job interacting with the crowd and even inviting some more of the brave guests to join and sing along for a few songs. Thank you to you both for a wonderful experience.

"This was our first time hiring Allan for an event and he exceeded our expectations. Great set-up and professional to deal with throughout the process. Thanks for elevating our event this year, we will reach out again in the future. Great job!"
Stan Komarovsky
"I hired Stan for a gig that requires a lot of fresh material. Not only did he learn it all, he followed on the fly when the client requested songs at the show. Stan was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommended."
