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"
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.
Kind Regards,
Peter Bruce"
SaxoDance
"SaxoDance Was the Life of Our Cocktail Hour
We are so pleased with our decision to hire Stephan to perform for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. He is very professional and helped us craft our processional walk. He learned the songs that we wanted to mark each moment, and let us curate his broad repertoire to our liking. He is a very talented player and provided great entertainment for our cocktail hour, even playing past our designated time as our dinner got delayed. Our fiends and family enjoyed socializing with him and his wife/assistant Suzanne. They both really helped make our day so magical, and created many great photo moments. I can’t recommend SaxoDance enough :)"
Kevin & the Kitchen Sink
"Kevin & the Kitchen Sink was a pleasure to work with from the moment we contacted them. They created a perfect playlist, including a specially requested song (my parent’s first dance song from 40 years ago!) and the band was incredible! The crowd was on the dance floor the whole night. We couldn’t have been happier with this band and would highly recommend them. Thank you Kevin & the Kitchen Sink for such a great party!"
Drink-182 (Blink 182 Tribute)
"Highly impressed with the showmanship and authenticity. We've booked many tribute bands but Drink 182 stands out. Their draw was exceptional and they made our job easy from the get go"
