Cover Bands for Hire in Canada

"Excellent Band!! We hired the FTones to play at our wedding in August 2022 and were very happy with their services. Stephanie was very responsive and invited me to one of their pub gigs before we booked so I could see them play in person. The band did a site visit prior to the event to make sure they would have all the equipment they needed and their set up the day-of was done as planned and very efficient. In addition to being very easy to work with, their music is fantastic!! Awesome sound, very talented musicians and a great variety of music to please different tastes. Highly recommend the FTones for anyone looking to hire a great band."

"Hype Magazine USA Cure For Jealousy A perfectly polished storyteller in the literal sense, Dar.Ra goes for this wild swing of ‘80s dance-rock infused with edge on the stomping sweetness of “Cure For Jealousy.” The track combines a range of periods and influences, ensuring the sound works seamlessly as a cohesive, concise whole. Volume is a given; he brings it, and it is a physical sound, like the way blood rushes through the ears with the first few traces of jealousy. Looking through his track record, he’s managed to touch upon every iteration of dance and rock within the last forty years, and has done it well. Outside of the music, he’s the author of two books, which also inform the character studies that he graces with his sound. It is catchy, addictive, and liberating stuff, the sort of thing that the music world needs now – something unique, experimental yet accessible, and overflowing with ideas. Sonically, Dar.Ra’s sound draws on the revivalist traditions of DFA Records, specifically on LCD Sound-System’s earnest pleas and search for meaning. Like James Murphy, Dar.Ra does have a love for the aesthetics of just a gigantic canvas, letting the whole arrangement feel enormous. On the classic side, the insistent bass has an ESG quality, with the groove absolutely dominating. It is easy to get intoxicated by the atmosphere, and the vocals further sell this idea of breaking free from this impairment. The tautness of the groove even delves into Parliament’s most unhinged experiments, as the track sparkles with endless creativity. For all these reference points, Dar.Ra continues his fine tradition of marching to the beat of a different drummer, going for this life-affirming, soulful stance. The stormy mix of keyboards and the tight rhythm section work their magic. Before his voice enters the equation, the mood is already set. When he takes center stage, the song transforms into an inner turmoil. He’s conflicted, and the verses cascade downwards reflecting exactly that. It stuns, and the track’s length makes the atmosphere almost psychedelic. Of course, this is what good dance music is meant to embody – endless expanses, endless possibilities. There is a reason so many dance-floors adhere to that sixto-seven-minute mark, even exceeding it when necessary. The band's interplay feels spirited, as if possessed, and this is what carries it all the way to the finale: a contemplative commotion. “Cure For Jealousy” shows that Dar.Ra is what music needs right now – a sound that draws and builds on the past while pointing a way forward, in a purely hedonistic, funk/dance/punk flavour."

"Francis absolutely SMASHED it at our wedding! From the very beginning, Alex was incredible to work with. The setlist was the perfect mix of floor fillers. From the first song, the dance floor was packed and stayed that way ALL NIGHT LONG."

"Oh my goodness, where do I even start? Makeda has an absolutely breathtaking voice that completely blew everyone away! We hired her for a private gathering, and she brought such beautiful, warm energy to the whole evening. She has this incredible, natural way of connecting with the crowd—she had all our guests smiling, engaged, and just having the absolute best time. Everyone kept coming up to me all night asking where I found such an amazing singer! Thank you so much, Makeda, for making our event truly unforgettable and so incredibly delightful. We could not have asked for a better performance, and we absolutely cannot wait to have you back again soon!"

"We engaged the artist for our annual partners’ dinner and the performance was pitched perfectly for the room. It was sophisticated without being stuffy, lively without overwhelming conversation. The transitions between cocktail hour and dinner service were seamless, and several of our international clients specifically commented on the quality of the entertainment in their follow-up correspondence. Highly recommended for executive-level events."

"Mr. Anthony embodied Sinatra in voice, mannerism, and even Frank’s soft interaction with his audience. How refreshing to see and hear this music played and sung live. Sinatra would have flown to the moon with pride."
