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 Allen S - Cops N Rodders Car Show
