Photo of Hollywood Blvd Band Hollywood Blvd Band "The Hollywood Blvd Band is one of the most visually entertaining bands I have ever seen! Backed up by each band members talents. Their fun and energetic song selection kept us dancing all night! Where's the next show!" Based in London, Ontario (30 miles from Stratford) 5th February 2026 Carlos - Night club Photo of The Enablers/ Hammer Tones The Enablers/ Hammer Tones "I saw the Hammer Tones in Brantford, 3 songs in and I was convinced that we had to have them play at our car show in Hamilton. They showed up and did not disappoint !!!!! What a great mix of songs as they covered many genres which satisfied our many age groups.The day was extremely hot and the band did not miss a beat - they pushed through like the professionals they are. The reviews from the hundreds of people at the car show were phenomenal. Although we do change our band selection each year, we will definitely ask the Hammer Tones to return in the near future. Great job guys !!!" Based in Hamilton, Ontario (56 miles from Stratford) Allen S - Cops N Rodders Car Show Photo of Cheap Thrills Cheap Thrills "Amazing Band! We hired Cheap Thrills to perform at my dads 70th surprise party. Booking them was easy and they answered all my questions in a timely manner. They were professional and very talented. The put on an amazing show and had everyone up dancing all night. Received so many compliments about them after the show. Will definitely use then again for future events." Based in Burlington, Ontario (56 miles from Stratford) Amanda T - 70th Birthday party Photo of Flashback Flashback "Flashback played at our Saturday night Labour Day Dance on September2nd and the crowd loved it. They were fabulous. I had so many great comments about the band that I already book them for next year. Excellent band. Mike O'Conner" Based in Mississauga, Ontario (66 miles from Stratford) Mike O'Conner - Saturday Night Dance Photo of The Overtones The Overtones "The Overtones are fantastic! They bring professional quality entertainment. Highly recommended." Based in Sarnia, Ontario (78 miles from Stratford) Tom Bunton - Ravenous Gastropub Photo of Dom Mar KZ Dom Mar KZ "An unbelievable night of spectacular live music in benefit of Montage Support Services was presented to all in attendance on this brisk fall night at the Vaughan City Playhouse Theatre courtesy of multi-talented Instrumentalist Dom Mar KZ, who was backed up by the mind-blowing Shining Star Band. Having been a fan of Dom’s work for the past 32 years, saying that I was looking forward to seeing this show was an understatement. I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Having seen Dom evolve from being the hard rocking Bassist of Graffiti Knox who made his professional debut in 1991 at Toronto’s legendary (yet sadly defunct) Rock ‘N’ Roll Heaven (along with his now Brother-In-Law and one of the Shining Star Band’s Guitarists - Lu Cachie) to becoming one of the most extraordinary and respected Musicians in Canada today was guided by a pre-determined fate. And his fan base across the Globe continues to increase via exposure through International Radio and Online Publications. Besides his Brother-In-Law, Dom was also joined on stage by his son Joe Marchese (Keyboards), Nephews (who also happen to be Lu’s Sons!) Andrew DeVita (Drums) / Carmen Cachie (Guitar), Eugene V (Bass), Daniel Monte (Violin), Piero Nunziata (Guitar), and Enrico Galante (Saxophone). This assembly of exquisite talent was enhanced even further with the Meta Centre Performers, followed by Prado and Juno Award Winner Liberty Silver, who mesmerized the audience and shook this Writer to his core with their stunning presence and vocal prowess. Some of the many stellar (pun intended) tracks churned out included “Destiny” , “In Through The Fire” , “Need A Favour” , “My Lady”, and “War” . Combined with a mesmerizing visual background comprised of photographs and memories from significant periods in Dom’s life, the mentioned songs combined with others included in the Shining Star Band’s set were taken to a deeper level as the Audience came to know and forge an even stronger bond with the Artist via the undeniable magic of music. I genuinely hope that this will be the first of many more performances to come from Dom Mar KZ and The Shining Star Band as their chemistry and passion tore the Vaughan City Playhouse Theatre’s roof off. Mega thanks to Laura Tonelli of Let Signature Events for her hospitality and months of hard work in making this successful concert in aid of an excellent charitable cause a reality!" Based in Toronto, Ontario (80 miles from Stratford) Concert - Mark St. John
