The faces in the band have changed over the years, but our fun-filled approach to performing live music hasn't. We enjoy what we do, and we think you'll enjoy listening to us!

Each year the band performs special Christmas, Spring and Summer concerts to showcase our music to the public at the beautiful Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. If you're interested in hiring the band, attending one of these concerts will give you a good idea who we are and how we can make your event a special one. If you'd like, we'll even put you on our mailing list for future concerts.

Among the band's many achievements, a few stand out:

Regular performances at the Beaches International Jazz Festival, Toronto Performances at the Canadian National Exhibition Winner of Silver Award at Musicfest Canada in Ottawa, 1987 Group featured at Mississauga City Hall opening, 1988 House band for the 1995 Mississauga Arts Awards Opened the Mississauga Jazz Festival, 1996 Performances with Peter Appleyard, Don Menza, Rob McConnell and the late Moe Koffman
