The Pepper Shakers, Toronto, Live Music & Bands

The Pepper Shakers are the premier 3-piece Party Dance Event band in the Toronto area.

 

Our testimonials tell the story best: www.torontopartyband.ca

 

There's some fantastic bands on this site! Sometimes though, you just won't be able to fit a 4, 5, 6 or 7+ piece band in your space (and their price point, $2000 to $4500 or more).... but you want great live musical entertainment. Right?

 

You've found it. For under $1000 in most cases.

 

The Pepper Shakers:

 

High energy, versatile musical variety in a rock'n'roll party vein, any size function, including small gatherings - small set-up space is not a problem, as little and 6 feet by 8 feet will do, to get the huge sound of the Pepper Shakers. At any volume you desire, from whisper soft background/mood music to full throttle rock-the-dancefloor level.

 

Event Planner: Looking for a great alternative to recorded music or DJ? Look no further.

 

The Pepper Shakers provide affordable pro-quality, lively live music for any size function - at ANY volume, from background/dinner music to full blast dance-floor loud... and in almost any space requirement from small to large, we 've done them all, since 2013. 

 

700+ paid engagements later, we are road tested, the premier 3-piece party dance event band in the Toronto area. Worried about space restrictions? Worry no more... We have the tightest set-up possible for a live band and your guests will be astounded at the full sound. NO NEED for a 4, 5, 6-piece band, requiring a big stage/huge PA and set up space (and the expense!).

 

We provide full Bose PA system and lights as required! Or can work with any sound engineer/stage set-up.
