5/5 from 18 reviews
Photo of Raquel’s Riot Raquel’s Riot "I can't say enough great things about Raquel Riot! They performed at our veterinary hospital's 70th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser, and they completely exceeded every expectation. From the first song to the last, they had the room full of energy. People were singing along, dancing, and having an amazing time. You can truly see how much they love what they do. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to connect with the crowd made our event feel so special. We've had so many people tell us how incredible the band was and how much they enjoyed the music. Thank you, Raquel Riot, for helping us celebrate such an important milestone and making the night one we'll never forget. If you're looking for a band that will keep your guests entertained and create unforgettable memories, look no further. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!" Based in Toronto, Ontario 28th August 2026 Alexandra White - Corporate Event- Martin’s Veterinarian Hospital Photo of Colleen & The Bleeding Hearts Colleen & The Bleeding Hearts "Colleen & The Bleeding Hearts are always a hit. Their setlist is full of songs people know and love, and they connect with the audience in a way that makes everyone feel part of the show. We’ve had them playing here regularly for over 10 years." Based in Toronto, Ontario 14th April 2026 Bill Pachis, Owner - Black Swan Tavern, Toronto ON Photo of Sugar Sugar "This band rocked! Loved the interaction between band members & the audience! Great mix of music! Everyone was up & dancing, from the youngest to the oldest! There ere even teenagers, you heard me, TEENAGERS, rocking out to this band. Wide appeal! Loved them!" Based in Toronto, Ontario Tory Ryk - Outdoors at Blue Mountain! Photo of the Pepper Shakers the Pepper Shakers "My go-to 3-piece cover band in the Toronto area. I have had the pleasure of working with Hank and the guys on several occasions dating back to 2014 - the Pepper Shakers never disappoint." Based in Toronto, Ontario Richard Cheeseman - event planner 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 Concert - Mark St. John Photo of Saxman Saxman "We booked Vadym for a family reunion celebration and would highly reccomend him. His playlist was perfect, the sound quality was excellent and he was totally flexible in catering for our requirements. Very professional. Thank you, Vadym. You were absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for making the event so perfect for everyone." Based in Mississauga, Ontario (15 miles from Toronto) Irene - Family reunion
