REGARDING AN UPCOMING T.O. GIG:
"My favorite Toronto dance band plays across the GTA and I have attended often, but the best time that I ever had dancing to the Pepper Shakers was at the clubroom of RCL Branch 10 Toronto in 2016. Suitable for East and West Coast Swing, Cha Cha, Salsa and more, they really mix it up and will get you up off your chair no matter what your style of dance." JRY
"Hi Hank! You guys were amazing last night! Thank you so much for coming. The music selection was perfect. I hope you guys have a great Christmas and Happy New Years! I will definitely recommend you to all my friends and family who are looking for a band."
"Hi Hank; just wanted to say thank you so much for last night - you guys were awesome. I had many comments throughout the night saying you're one of the favorites that the park has had. We would love to book you for next year if you're taking bookings now or if you want to let me know when your schedule opens up we'd love to book you... Again, thank you...and thank you for staying later than scheduled!"
"The best party band in Ontario... Really know how to keep people happy and on the dance floor... If you have never seen them play you owe it to yourself to check them out... They play music from the 1950’s to the 2000’s... Playing everywhere... Great band... Great music... A must see..." PJ, Toronto
"Last night was excellent, we could not be more thrilled. You and your band were a huge part of the overall success of the event. We were so happy to see people up and dancing. We will of course have you guys back.
...I will be scheduling shows for September/ October shortly..."
"Great little place. Good food, we had nachos and poppers. Fabulous three piece band, The Pepper Shakers, played a great mix of early rock right up through the 80s. Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, would like to see them on a Friday or Saturday night there."
