Island Troy Singing/Guitarist
"We had our annual event on the beach and Troy was the hit of the party. All the right musical vibes for our beach theme. Troy had many options for us."
Fusion est 1981
"Amazing talent and loved having these guys play at Rumors Nite Club in Urbana back in the 90’s. Can’t wait to see them together again!!!"
Johnny and the Headhunters
"There’s more to Johnny Ticktin than meets the eye. Well-versed in the blues, having once served as lead guitar player for the legendary Louisiana Red, the open-minded Ticktin is a sponge, soaking up the subtle six-string nuances and intricacies of a multitude of genres—from surf to classic R&B, swing and even Mambo—on his eighth album with The Headhunters, That’s All I Need. It would feel right at home in any rough-and-tumble roadhouse.
The title is borrowed from a song, covered here in all its dark, swampy glory, off Magic Sam’s 1967 iconic electric blues marvel West Side Soul. Watery, backwoods ripples of Sam’s tremolo guitar style and seductive rhythms meander through Creedence Clearwater Revival’s mysterious kudzu on Johnny & The Headhunters’ version, as Ticktin and company paddle up a lazy river of Bayou groove. Just as fluent in nasty rockabilly, they thrive in the sweltering heat of the 1957 obscurity “Chicken House,” giving it a warm buzz and making it rumble and swagger, while the lascivious, infectious funk of “Body and Fender” – a Doc Pomus/Duke Robillard joint originally built for soul crooner Johnny Adams – shakes all over and ogles the female form. A rousing, boogie-woogie version of Lowell Fulsom’s Chess Records’ hit “Rock ‘Em Dead” is wonderfully shambolic, and Ticktin rides the lightning of the Link Wray instrumental “Ace of Spaces” like a champ, gleefully wheeling through edgy garage-rock riffs with appropriate vim and vigor. What feel he and his band have for this material. There is not the slightest bit of indifference to it anywhere on this record.
Not that they need it, but help arrives in the form of keyboardist Tam Sullivan, who wraps smoky, sensual organ and wraiths of piano around a soulful remake of Bobby “Blue” Bland’s “Lead Me On,” and singer Liz Springer, who joins her brazen vocals to Ticktin’s in the cheeky, but charming, duet “Watch and Chain.” And, with the solid machinery of a good backing band at work behind him, Ticktin can just let loose – witness the slide-guitar fury of their cover of Elmore James’ “Shake Your Money Maker.” For aficionados of tasteful guitar work and music that time shouldn’t have forgotten, this is what you need.

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!"
