Reviews of Rock Bands based near Buffalo

4.9/5 from 9 reviews
Photo of Rock Garden Rock Garden "I went to see this band at Doc MacGilligans recently and was enjoying the music until the end of the first set. The band is quite good but the lead singer seems to think that he can impose his will on others. I went to the washroom and discovered, when I returned to my seat at the bar, that he had moved my drink and jacket to another location so his family/friends could be together. Had he simply asked, I would have agreed but to make that unilateral decision really told me something about him and turned me off the band." Based in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada (18 miles from Buffalo) 16th November 2025 Derek Photo of Jr Hardy Music Jr Hardy Music "They played our corporate event for 350 people. They were fun, respectful, and sounded amazing! They were on time, professional, and the audience enjoyed their choice of music. The volume level was perfect. We had unsolicited positive feedback from everyone at the event. I will definitely book them again for future events at our venue!"

Photo of Ryan Thomas Smelle Ryan Thomas Smelle "Ryan and the guys were amazing! Easy to work with leading up to the event (answered my many questions), professional and very talented too. Our attendees raved about them!" Based in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada (27 miles from Buffalo) 5th February 2026 Nina - Corporate Cocktail Reception Photo of The Enablers/ Hammer Tones 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, Canada (55 miles from Buffalo) Allen S - Cops N Rodders Car Show Photo of Cheap Thrills Cheap Thrills "Amazing Band! We hired Cheap Thrills to perform at my dads 70th surprise party. Booking them was easy and they answered all my questions in a timely manner. They were professional and very talented. The put on an amazing show and had everyone up dancing all night. Received so many compliments about them after the show. Will definitely use then again for future events." Based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada (59 miles from Buffalo) Amanda T - 70th Birthday party 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!"
