Partners in music and in life for nearly three decades, Joanna and Rob are truly seasoned performers. Their extensive experience spans countless venues, and includes everything from high-energy Salsa bands and big bands to intimate jazz and lively wedding gigs.

Joanna, originally from Toronto, found her musical calling when she picked up the saxophone in middle school. Her journey continued through a music degree from UWO, and further jazz studies at Humber College. As your engaging host, Joanna brings a joyful energy to every event.

Born in Saskatchewan, Rob began studying the piano at just five years old. His passion led him to pursue a career in music, culminating in a master's degree in jazz performance from the prestigious Eastman School of Music in New York state. In addition to his dynamic performances with Centre Stage Sessions, Rob currently shares his expertise as a pianist at Canada’s National Ballet School.

What we need will depend on the size of band you decide to hire. As a duo we require very little. We'll provide speakers to cover the size of your event space.
