Photo of Dead Man Bordeaux Dead Man Bordeaux "A true performer. Delivers with such passion the audience was captivated" Based in Antigo, Wisconsin, United States (496 miles from Winnipeg) Bruce Malitz Photo of D'AYCH and The Next Level Band D'AYCH and The Next Level Band "Used these guys for my event in September of 2023. I can always tell things are going to go well when the communication is clear. We were able to get exactly what we needed for both days of our two day event. The first day we wanted classic rock and/or light rap for the festivities to get the crowd amped up. People were walking around the fest jamming while shopping/eating, which is what we wanted. The second day we needed something far more subtle while dinner was served to our sponsors and guests. D'aych and The Next Level Band brought the old school JAZZ BAND sound. Wow! We were originally going to go with 2 different bands but D'aych assured me that they could handle it all. THEY ABSOLUTELY DID. The best parts: 1. On both days they dressed for the theme of our event!! 2. They arrived EARLY and I always say EARLY is on time! 3. They were professional 4. They did exactly what they were hired to do on both days... seamlessly Definitely my go to band now and will use them at our event in 2024 as well. Thanks guys!" Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States (645 miles from Winnipeg) Bob Anderson - September 2023 Photo of Lady A Lady A "Just went to see Lady A for the first time. WOW what a show. Soulful voice for all kind of great songs. She had the place dancing and interacting with the crowd. Just a great time. Will look for information to see where she is playing next. The band wirh her is also fantastic as they played some songs b4 she came out. Great voices there too." Based in Waukegan, Illinois, United States (683 miles from Winnipeg) Valerie Zaffaro Photo of BackForward / Adam Cartwright BackForward / Adam Cartwright "Talented across the board! We were blown away by Adam’s professionalism, attention to detail, musical talent and fun factor at our recent party! The cherry on top was his ability to take great quality professional photos! Adam was a great MC who took my DJ playlist inspiration and ran with it to create the perfect playlist for our party. And we can’t forget the Taylor Swift meets Coachella rendition of Happy Birthday which flowed into Jack & Diane. Such a fantastic addition to the event!" Based in Naperville, Illinois, United States (707 miles from Winnipeg) Derek - Private Party Photo of Michael Charles and His Band Michael Charles and His Band "...With Michael's raw, yet controlled guitar performances, his instrument is always kept forefront and the focal point of his shows as he gives out every ounce of energy deserved..."
