That Boy Running

That Boy Dancing is a high-energy rock and pop band inspired by the sounds of the ’60s and ’70s, with a heavy dose of funk thrown into the mix. Built on groovy rhythms, big melodies, and an obsession with having a good time, their music is all about movement, connection, and letting loose. More than anything, they just want to dance, and get everyone else dancing with them too.

Follow That Boy Running on.



Fat Mob

Fat Mob was spawned by the late, great, Chris Reed. He has left this world to bring his creative brilliance to The Great Gig in the Sky. However, His spirit and music live on here. The new line up of 'Fat Mob' will continue to perform Chris's songs. This incarnation consists of members from 3 of Chris's former bands:

- Exitseekers

- The Reed Effect (With his brother, Kirk)

And of course...

- Fat Mob

'Fat Mob has your back. So take a drink of the cool aid. Sit back and indulge yourself in exceptional Rock n Roll. Half the stuff said by Fat Mob, you can write it off. The other half......write it down!!!!!'

Willie James

Willie James blends musicianship, creativity & tradition to achieve a sound that's a whimsical flavour to nostalgic blues-folk-rock spirit.

Berner Trail

Berner Trail are a Scarborough-born, Toronto-based rock trio. The group was started in 2015 by guitarist/singer/songwriter Spencer Desilva and drummer Aaron Lusch. The line-up was solidified in 2020 with the addition of bassist/vocalist Nate Murray. Berner Trail are a rock band that writes and plays with passion. The true goal of art is not to be boastful or self-important, but to be something that others can relate to on a real level.
