The Music
News & Events
The music is always the most important aspect of our performance. We take timeless classics and put our flavor into it. We have a wide range of music ranging from Classic Rock, Reggae, Blues, Funk, Pop, and Country to cater to any venue. Our music is easy to listen to and fun to watch. We are professional entertainers with a silly band name!
The Band Name
Quite frankly the band name makes us and others laugh. We care about the music and the performance of that music. Our goal is to entertain your audience. The name we feel is funny and something you and your clients will remember for years to come.
There are a few other bands around the globe using this name too and for us it is all in fun.
The Rubber Band delivers an authentic, polished classic rock sound. The rhythm section comprised of Jean Chiquette (bass), and Colin Graham (drums) have been bringing music to people across Canada and the United States in various different iterations for over 40 years.
We have recently added a
phenomenal new band member, Brett Truter (Lead Guitar & Vocals) who are world class players you must see!
Our shows are truly a concert experience you do not want to miss!
The Rubber Band, Featuring The Music of The Tragically Hip
On August 20th, 2016 the band got together to watch the last Tragically Hip concert. Our band members like the rest of Canada watched emotionally as the final song rang out, Ahead By a Century. Someone said "You guys need to play more Hip".
From there the idea snowballed into a tribute to Gord Downie who passed away October 17th, 2017.
Wait! There are still 4 remaining members in The Tragically Hip. Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, Johnny Fay &, Paul Langlois. Therefore our band is actually "Featuring The Music of The Tragically Hip" and we do this for Rob Baker, Gord Sinclair, Johnny Fay, Paul Langlois, and of course Gord Downie. This is for ALL OF YOU!
THE DRUM SOLO IS BACK!
This part of our larger Rock & Roll show and will not be performed nor is considered suitable or appropriate for small low volume venues.
We cater and customize our show specifically to your needs.
