Photo of Sally & The Melo Hearts Sally & The Melo Hearts "I have seen this band several times at Kenney's Pub and they are awesome. Great dancing music, amazing sound and Sally has an incredible voice. I highly recommend." Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (37 miles from Nanaimo) Darlis - Pub setting Photo of Buddy and the scarecrow Buddy and the scarecrow "From the very first time I saw/heard this band at the FAIRVIEW PUB I knew they were something special, what sets this band apart from most is the way they play as a seamless unit, great jams that can get you moving on the dance floor and every member of the band is a really nice person that will engage in a conversation with any fan. I have seen them play many many times and each time I leave I am left wanting more and awaiting the next show. If you have not seen this band I suggest you take the time to seek them out and hear what you have been missing" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (37 miles from Nanaimo) TED COPELAND - just a fan of good music Photo of Alessandro Votta Alessandro Votta "We would look at have elvis , entertain us again in the future.

Awesome show! These guys truly sound and look like the real band. Favorite songs were many but loved Simple Man, That Smell, and of course Freebird. Sent chills up my spine. Their backup girl singers were outstanding too. Their voices came thru beautifully. I definitely recommend this band. I hope to see and hear them again in the future."
