ONE WILD NIGHT
Canada's premiere tribute to Bon Jovi
Are you ready for an entertaining night of Bon Jovi that's sure to please the senses? If so, you're in for ONE WILD NIGHT. Serving up the best of Bon Jovi and some unique fan favourites, ONE WILD NIGHT assume the very essence of the band that has kept the pop/rock formula viable for the last 20 years.

Stemming from the success of Durham region's rock trio BANG, vocalist Baz Little Rock decided to form a tribute act. To cover Bon Jovi was not a hard decision to make as Little Rock's vocals are eerily similar to Jon Bon Jovi's.

Fellow BANG member Shamus was first to sign on along with his signature bass playing. Brian rolls with the punches on drums, and John E. Keys, a classically trained pianist fills the void superbly. The search for a Ritchie Sambora on guitar ended admirably with Tyson. Together, this unit is simply amazing.

If you want to hear the songs as they were originally recorded, and want to see a band play the part as well as Bon Jovi does, then you're in for ONE WILD NIGHT.

Big Hair (80's Tribute)
Formed originally in the summer of 2000 by lead vocalist “Molly Carrington”, BIG HAIR endured many line up changes until the perfect mix was found in the spring of 2002. Since then, this energized ensemble has delivered the music that defined a decade with pain-staking accuracy — from classic rock, to alternative, to bubblegum pop.
BIG HAIR combines the best (and tackiest) of 80s finery, a stage filled with remnants of the Atari age and fun audience participation, to present a show that transports listeners back to the days of K-Cars and K-ways.

Krista Blondin (Janis Joplin Tribute)
Standing ovations, sold out performances, audiences cheering and even crying is what happens when Krista Blondin steps onstage to impersonate Janis Joplin in concert. This theatrical performance let's audiences experience the sound, voice, mannerisms, clothing and open-hearted messages Janis brought to her live performances. Within months of launching the show at the 2003 Port Credit Southside Shuffle, Krista was slated as a headliner for The Canadian National Exhibition's Midway Stage and Niagara Falls Blues in The Park Concert Series. Krista is available to perform with her own band or as an addition to another act showcasing celebrity impersonators.


Terry Lee Goffee (Johnny Cash Tribute)
This is what radio is saying
If there's one song that has struck a long-sleeping response chord in our audience, it's Terry Lee Goffee's "The Man In Black Is Gone." We introduced the song on our "Showdown at the K-Great Corral." Terry Lee sent the challenging artist to meet the necktie party five solid nights in a row! Once the song was retired into regular rotation, the phones have been quite active with requests to hear and buy the song.
Terry Lee found a topical niche as the nation so freshly mourns Johnny Cash. The voice and production are wonderful, and it definitely seems as though country fans in Las Cruces want Terry Lee to have a timely hit.

Bob Gill (Waylon Jennings Tribute)
Bob maintains an up to date repertoire of Waylon's music and currently performs most songs ever released by him. Since Waylon's untimely death in February 2002, Bob has had an inner desire (and destiny) to focus exclusively on preserving to eternity the music of his idol. He has concentrated on following the recommendations of his many fans by perfecting a Legends Waylon Jennings tribute show; and, has done so with his usual success. When you look at Bob on stage, you think immediately of Waylon. When you hear Bob sing Waylon’s music and close your eyes, you are immediately positioned in the midst of fans at any one of the late and great performer's concerts. Bob, like Waylon, sings with a style that seems to come from the soul and reflects both the joy and the pain of a man who has experienced each. The keen understanding of the moods and sounds of the common people, of which he considers himself a part, shines through on stage and off.

FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK

“FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK” was formed in Toronto in the Fall of 2003 with the intention of taking the AC/DC tribute scene to a new level.  Stunningly powerful vocals that emulate the styles of both Brian Johnson and Bon Scott in the way they were meant to be heard, a brilliant execution of Angus young’s explosive guitar wizardry, and a rhythm section that builds the intensity of every tune with pounding drum beats and thundering chords together make up what can be considered the “Ultimate tribute to AC/DC”.
