Description
The official website of singer and songwriter, Keath Barrie.
Keath Barrie's music is for those who remember the "good ol' days", when music spoke differently to people's hearts, emotionally and spiritually. His music is from a time when you could turn on the radio and just sit back and relax to songs that touched listerners in so many personal ways.
Keath in concert at Massey Hall
Keath's song style has been harder and harder to find on the radio today. Only a few dedicated stations out there still keep the ballad style alive, and play the crooners who sang them in decades past.
Keath has entertained people all across North America in his concerts, and has toured with top artists such as Anne Murray. He employed only the best musicians in the music business for his recordings, such as Jimmy Dale, Bobby Edwards, Rob McConnell, Peter Appleyard and Hagood Hardy, to name just a few. He recorded in the top studios across the continent producing special music that can be cherished and remembered today. His rich barotone voice has often been compared to Perry Como or Roger Whittaker.
Born in Athabasca Alberta in 1932, Keath spent much of his youth growing up in Germany, but later returned to live in Calgary, Alberta. He eventually moved to Toronto to persue his creative endeavors, working in the film industry as he gradually developed his songwriting and singing skills.
Sadly, Keath passed away in 2004, but his music still lives on and continues to touch his many fans.

Blue Moon Special:
Winnie says: ‘In 1992 Ritch and me started Blue Moon Special with Huub Urlings on double bass with the concept we still have today: Rock 'n' Roll with two saxophones, tenor and baritone. To name a few horns we had in the band: Onno van Swighem and Erwin van der Does, Paul Berding and Floor Massee, Sebastian Ohm, Wouter Kiers and Ruud de Vries. For the last couple of years we have on baritone Erwin van der Does and Quinten Kray on tenor, and hopefully for years to come! Hans van der Velde is a steady factor on double bass since 1997.
We are inspired by Big Band- and combo Swing, Rhythm & Blues, Eddie Cochran, Django Reinhardt, Gene Krupa, Big Jay McNeely, Johnny Otis, Benny Goodman and more.
We are vintage freaks in our own way and old enough to be called experts. I mean the stuff we play and the stuff we play on. And all for one reason, play our brand of Rock 'n' Roll.
Swing, jump blues and rock and roll band from Amsterdam. Contains a band profile, an audio sample, and contact information.

Bob Morrison Orchestra:
Formed in 1997 in Victoria, B.C., the BOB MORRISON ORCHESTRA comprises ten musicians featuring our vocalist, recording artist Sue Doman. The orchestra specializes in music from the Swing Era of the 1930's and 1940's, but our extensive music library contains many songs from the 1950's and later. All the standard dances, waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango, rhumba, samba, cha-cha-cha, rock and jive are in our repertoire. Requesting that favourite songs be included in the performance, planning your event around a theme, or taking the opportunity to sing a ballad in front of the orchestra, are just a few of the possibilities to make your occasion memorable.
The configuration of vocalist, 3 rhythm, 3 brass and 3 reeds, emulates the composition of many Swing Era dance bands. This allows for a comfortable fit into most venues. The orchestra is completely self-contained, including a microphone which is available for use by your party.
Victoria, British Columbia based 9-piece band with female vocalist playing music of the Swing Era. Includes profile, bandleader biography, repertoire and testimonials.

Take two parts big band swing and one part rock-and-roll, add a jigger of Sinatra and a pony of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and what do you get?

the nation's top party band!
Whether you’re planning a wedding, reception, corporate party, trade show, or concert, Big-T will transform your function into a night at the Sands!

King with the swagger of Tony Soprano and the vocal chops of Ol’ Blue Eyes. Listed by the top meeting planners, event planners and talent agent, he’s Dean Martin, Bobby Darrin and Buster Poindexter rolled into one, backed by a smokin’ band that’ll knock your socks off. Add a whiff of cigar smoke and a fifth of bourbon, and Bada-FREAKIN-Bing, you’ve got yourself a party!
Craig Thompson, better known as “Big-T,” has a reputation for doing things in a mighty big way. The former sumo wrestler who used to tip the scales at 400 pounds has since reinvented himself as a singer and bandleader, performing to packed houses across the country and overseas.
Born to be Wild, the band’s first CD, showcases Thompson’s amazing vocal range, as he covers genres ranging from swingin’ Vegas jazz to classic rock, blues, ’60s soul and romantic ballads. The critically acclaimed album has proven a hit with his fans, and has been nominated for Best Album of the Year by the Swing Awards.
