The Crossroads Band provided excellent entertainment for our Grand Opening at the Sweet Market Esso in Red Deer on July 31st! We wanted to shop local for a band, and Crossroads fit the bill! The crowd really enjoyed the music and interaction the band provided throughout the day. Kathy kept in touch with us prior to the event, offering a few ideas, promoting the event etc. Very helpful. Over-all, a very successful day, and we would highly recommend the Crossroads Band.

Response from Crossroads Band:
Working with the team from Sweet Market Esso was a delight from beginning to end. From the time we quoted the event, played the gig and wrapped up the day it was a total 5 Gold Star star rating from our end too. Barry initially booked us and then Glen, the owner of Sweet Market Esso, along with employees Leah and Tim came onboard to help make it all happen. They asked us regularly throughout the day of the event if we needed food, water, beverages, or anything at all. It was 30 degrees outside and in Canada that is one hot, hot day! They brought in a 48 foot curtain van for us as well, to use as a stage, so we had protection from the hot sun and a great platform to rock on. Any requests we had were met enthusiastically. This business provided an outdoor patio for all their guests, a delicious catered barbecue lunch, a clown to entertain the kids and sweet treats and random draws throughout the day. Everything was free for the public and amazing. Local radio was onsite and the crowd came and stayed or dropped in for as long as they could throughout the day. Some people arrived early in the morning to ensure they got a front row seat! Sweet Market Esso has a long line of gas pumps out front. It was awesome to watch people drive in for fuel, start dancing and videoing the band from the gas pumps, and then realize what was going on and come grab some lunch and stay for the music. We were treated like rockstars throughout the day. We were appreciated in a way that warmed our hearts and we will carry this gig in our hearts in the years ahead. Thank You to Sweet Market Esso! You rock!!!

What to Expect
The client and audience can expect a high energy, fun for all professional show that rocks the room and ensures a great time for all. We arrive on time, set up and tear down efficiently, provide all lights, PA and sound production in a timely and professional manner. We are clean and well groomed and get into the spirit of the event: Halloween we all appear in costumes, black tie we all dress the part and jeans and boots and cowboy hats come out for those events that need that look. If it is a family event we can decrease our volume accordingly so everyone can visit and yet still get the little ones and the older folks out on the dance floor participating and having a great time. Whatever the event, we are the real deal to make it happen and let it be a time to remember.
About
Our band is fronted by female vocalist Kathy Carter. Kathy also plays rhythm guitar and keys. Ray Olson is lead guitarist and also covers lead vocals and beautiful harmonies. Roy James is our bass player and also adds lead vocals and sweet harmonies. Steve Keevill is the group's drummer/percussionist and also adds lead vocals and harmony. Steve also does all the band's sound and production. The band members are mature, seasoned and professional musicians. We bring a solid, polished and professional show to the stage but most importantly, we have fun and it is absolutely contagious with all of those folks in attendance!
Additional Booking Notes
For regular, everyday events we provide all our own lighting and sound production. For very large events all PA, lights and production would become a negotiable piece. Depending on distance from home, rooms, meals and travel may be another piece to negotiate. A non-refundable deposit, as per the Gig Salad Booking Agreement is required at the time of booking to secure your date. For outdoor events a covered stage is required to protect gear in case of inclement weather.
