Steve Prentice | Singer-Guitarist

I play upbeat tunes from the 1970s and 1980s – songs you can’t help but sing along with. I play parties, anniversaries, and other celebrations, using backing tracks and vocal harmony pedals to deliver a variety of tunes and textures. Each session is customized to your needs. The thing I love the most is when people’s faces light up and they say “Oh, I LOVE that song!” I wanted to put together an act that was not as loud or complicated as a band, and that would allow me to play the tunes people love. Now, thanks to foot controlled effects like backing tracks and harmonizers, it’s possible for a solo act to sound a little bigger and to deliver a catchy package of tunes that include rhythm and wider vocals.

Of course, I treat each gig as a serious business engagement, meaning I will meet with you in person, or by phone or video chat to learn more about your needs and favourite tunes. I will then build an event around you. I show up prepared, ready and properly dressed, and will make sure that the performance reflects the theme of your evening.

Based in Toronto, I am available to play anywhere in the Greater Toronto area.

I bring a small PA, microphones, a stool, three guitars with stands, my pedal board and some extension cables. All I need from you is a space about 6′ by 6′.
