5/5 from 918 reviews
Photo of Starfire Band Starfire Band "Community Addictions Peer Support Association (CAPSA) “It was exciting to see the band set up with the experience of playing for many years. It was great when the audience began to react to Starfire, and it was even better when they started telling me directly that I had picked a great band. What really sealed the deal was when the professional soundman and MC both personally said to me that’s a great band. Starfire’s has great talent, and what sets them apart is their love for playing…it makes for a memorable night of favourite songs and irresistible dance music. Definitely planning on having them back, and if you are arranging to have them play at your event – don’t forget to invite me!” - Gord Garner, Executive Director" Based in Ottawa, Ontario Gord Garner - Community Addictions Pert Support Association Photo of The Reuben Kincaid Trio The Reuben Kincaid Trio "Peter Bruce ICA Board of Directors Dear Andy, I just wanted to personally thank you for the delightful evening of entertainment at our ICA dinner event and contributing to its success. It was the perfect mix of music to entertain our international guests and the right balance of acoustic and singing before, during and after dinner. We wish you all continued success in all of your musical endeavors and would be happy to recommend your band in the future.

His style is just plain feel good music. On both acoustic and electric guitars he performs songs we all know and love as well as a few of his own original tunes that are really fantastic. It’s super fun when he passes out rhythm instruments for the audience to play also! Makes any gig a fun time!"
