So who's excited for summer and the great music it brings? I know there are many bands who are touring with their ticket prices being either too expensive or impossible to get.

Do I have a solution for you? Of course I do.



I know there is a certain band who is playing in Toronto July 16th. Their tickets were hard to get. It's a band I personally have never seen live. I won't mention them by name.

Then I found out I could see one of my favorite local cover band's live!

It's a band I can guarantee that you will have a great time at their show. I can guarantee you will get your money's worth. I can guarantee that you will be singing along to every song with them.

How much is it? I'm sure you must be asking yourself. Well that's the beauty of it. It is only around  $13 (with taxes and fees). The show will be at the Phoenix in Toronto.

Now who's the band at such a great cost?

It's Sandman!!! They're the only Metallica sanctioned tribute band!

The band members are:

Rickferd Van Dyk - on lead guitar and vocals.

Brent Niemi - on drums

Paul Fonseca - Bass

Joe Di Taranto - Lead Guitar.

I've seen these guys play, they leave you wanting more every single time.

94.9 is hosting this event and when you go to the event page you'll see it says “You'll never know who might show up.” It is the same night as another show close by.

So I'm inviting you to check out the best tribute band I've seen! You never know who might show up to rock with you. You can Thank me or the band latter.

Hey, are you ready for a CD release party? I sure am!

This is this bands first of many albums to come. They put on a great rock show with loads of ENERGY! You can tell this band is made up of a group of guys who are friends on and off stage. Ohh and they are Canadian. They will be playing this Saturday June 24th in Cambridge, Ontario.

Now how much will this once in a lifetime experience cost you? Because really how often do you get to go to a band's first CD release party? This experience will only cost you  $10 dollars.

Now before I forget two other bands will be playing this Saturday.

One band is Punishment and the other band is Abandoned Souls.

So that's three band's for $10 dollars.  

Yes I said three band's and it's a CD release party!!! Three rock bands for a great price!!! What more could you ask for?

I personally can't wait. They're a great band who are passionate about their music.

With band members:   

Jeff Freitas - Guitar/Vocals
Paul Charlebois - Guitar/Vocals
Jordan Malcolm - Drums
Jeremy Grischow - Bass

I hope to see everyone at this great event. Below will be link's to the event, tickets and a map to the event.
