We had a great time at your concert at Eastpointe City Hall! You are all very talented and gifted performers. Thank you for a wonderful evening!" Based in Detroit, Michigan Annette Wernert Photo of PAYING CASH PAYING CASH "March 26, 2017 Last night (March 25, 2017) the legendary Presley & Cash Highway Road Show pulled into Windsor for a night of fun, frolics and fundraising through the experience and dedication of two skilled local tribute artists. Paying Cash – The Johnny Cash Show and a Elvis brought the music of Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley to the Olde Walkerville Theatre for a fundraising event for the Miracle League of Amherstburg. The show began with Harrow, Ontario tribute artist who brought the post-war Elvis to life in a vibrant and highly entertaining set. The music selection was unique, as was his leg-shaking performance. This was a true tribute and not really an over-the-top impersonation as we so often see. There were no jumpsuits, no giant belts and no overweight wig-wearing phonies – this was the cool suit-jacket wearing Elvis that the world loved in 1956 and 1957. He had enough looks and moves to pull it off and present a believable reproduction of the way Elvis moved, sang and even interacted at the peak of his musical return. The song selection resembled the King’s 1957 performance at the PNE in Vancouver with such non-traditional tracks like Blueberry Hill, That’s When Your Heartaches Begin and Peace in the Valley. In many ways the lead singer reminded me of an early Michael Buble, with just enough Elvis in the mix to make it plausible and entertaining, but also enough of himself to keep it fresh and lively. He nailed Elvis’ voice from the early years, as well as the swagger and personality we would expect in an early Elvis tribute. The Silvertones mastered the musical presentation and were the perfect band to backup the energetic Elvis show. After a lengthy set, I couldn’t help but wonder what kind of incredible music could bring to the table if he decided to record some original music. It took a leap of faith to bring Buble his first recording contract, let’s hope someone does the same for him. Headliners Paying Cash captured the essence of 1968 Johnny Cash in both attitude and skill, pairing perfectly with 57-58 Elvis – these were the “attitude” years for both superstars, and although a decade apart, they seemed musically aligned at these specific intervals. The lead singers 12-year old daughter joined him on stage for three June Carter duets, and later when he acoustically took on Cash’s death-bed hit Hurt with guitar and piano accompaniment. The singer looked exactly like Cash at various times when he was at the mic, but he was always perfect when it came to the movements and nuances that Cash had on stage. You could actually see the fire in his eyes during such attitude anthems as Cocaine Blues, Folsom Prison Blues and Cry, Cry, Cry. That fire and his voice were right on par with Joaquin Phoenix’s movie adaptation of Cash, The band itself was so close to the original backup band that they should change their name to The Windsor Three. The guitarist handled the lead guitar as if he invented those licks himself, bassist injected some humour when he wasn’t playing his stand-up bass and drummer provided a solid drum beat throughout. The only thing missing was that they weren’t dressed in full black suits like The Tennesee Three probably would have been.The superstar of the show was his daughter, who charmed the audience with her stunning voice and light-hearted personality – a combination that played out in a fun and charming take on June Carter Cash for three songs, including the infamous relationship-song Jackson. Her personality and voice matched well with her fathers and the duets were a standout moment, much as they were in the movie Walk The Line. Paying Cash is a well put together band that captures the young and rebellious Johnny Cash like none other. This was the era of Johnny Cash that fans love the most and rarely get to see on its own in a tribute show. Should The lead singer and Paying Cash ever decide to hit the studio, I wouldn’t be surprised if the results sounded much like early Blue Rodeo, mixed with some good old Johnny Cash.If these two bands do play together again, the Presley-Cash combination is a sure fire knock-out not to be missed."

He worked with me on crafting the perfect surprise and paid attention to all of the details. I couldn’t be happier! I can’t recommend him highly enough in a review that would paint an accurate picture of the professionalism, showmanship, and talent Greg brought. I hope to see him perform again in the future! Thank you, Greg. Thank you, VERY much!" Based in Allen Park, Michigan (10 miles from Detroit) Zack Photo of Rumours Rumours "This was my first time to check out Rumours but certainly not my last.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring tribute bands typically costs between $230 and $4,050+, with an average of $1,350. Pricing depends on the number of performers, show duration and the production elements included. Tribute bands cover a wide range of artists and eras, so the scale and complexity of the show is the main factor in cost.

The tribute bands for hire cover tributes to a huge range of artists and bands spanning every genre and era, from classic rock legends to current pop stars. Gig Heaven has tribute acts for hundreds of different artists, so browsing the category is the best way to find the right act.

Many clients book tribute bands for themed parties, corporate events, birthday celebrations, weddings, festivals and pub or club nights. A tribute band delivers the experience of seeing a well-known artist live, making them a crowd-pleasing and memorable entertainment choice.

The best tribute bands invest heavily in recreating the sound, look and stage presence of the original artist, including costumes, instruments and vocal accuracy. It is advisable to watch videos on each tribute act's profile to judge the quality and authenticity of their performance.

Most tribute bands are self-contained and provide their own PA system, instruments, costumes and staging. For larger venues or outdoor events, additional equipment may be required. Gig Heaven recommends confirming technical requirements before booking.

Many tribute acts build a main set around the artist they cover and add a second set of wider hits from the same era or genre. Others stay with the original artist throughout. Asking what a full evening looks like is the quickest way to know whether one act can cover the whole night.

Costume is central to most tribute shows, and many acts change outfits between sets to follow the artist's career. A smaller number perform in plain stage dress and focus on the music. Photographs and video on each act's profile show which approach they take.

Tribute shows tend to work well across age groups because the material is already familiar to most of the room. Acts covering artists with a long career usually have the widest span of recognisable songs. Set lists can normally be adjusted if the audience skews older or younger.
