July 21, 2024Outstanding!!!
We had FTB play in our backyard for a private event last night and they were amazing!! Super talented, funny and interactive with the crowd. Everyone was raving about the band - we highly recommend them for your next event. We’ll be keeping them in mind for future too!! Thank you Shiraz, David & Carlos for an outstanding evening!!

June 25, 2024Amazing Musicians
I don’t normally write reviews.
After our original band cancelled for my husband’s 50th birthday less than 2 weeks before the big day I was completely stressed out.
But after lots of googling and research we came across Fat Tony Band, so I hired them and was very skeptical, but I guess things happen for a reason as these guys deserve a huge shout out, Shiraz/Carlos and the guys were amazing to deal with, so professional, had the guests dancing all night. All our guests kept coming up to me saying these guys are great where did you find them.
You will not be disappointed if you hire them.

September 1, 2024Best Night Ever!
The Fat Tony Band performed at my husband’s 40th this past weekend and made our party! Shiraz and the band members were part of the party and went above and beyond what we could have imagined. They allowed my husband to sing with them and let our 5 year old son help out on the drums! Would definitely book them again for another event! Don’t think twice when considering who to book! This is the band you want! We love the Fat Tony Band!❤️

What to expect
Great Live Music MAKES the Party!
FTB is a powerhouse trio/quartet that performs nearly 50 private events each year. Each of us sing, so we offer you a lot of variety from Pop-Rock-R&B-Country-Disco-Jazz and you're not stuck listening to one style or one singer all night long. We even have a Pro DJ in the band, guaranteed to spin great tunes before and in between sets to keep the party going all night long. The best of both worlds: Awesome Live Band, Great DJ Tunes! We specialize in private events and festivals and some of our more recent clients include: NFL, The Grey Cup, Hockey Canada, CNE, Unilever, PWC, CPA, Nestle, Toyota, Hockey Hall of Fame, Square, Slalom, Buffalo Bills, Armed Forces ++
Work with a band that hears you and "gets it".
A great event is not merely an opportunity for clients and guests to gather. You have worked hard and spent months planning your event and the live music element must be flawless with attention to every last detail so everything runs smoothly. Initial planning, site visit, sound and lighting requirements, song choices and guest demographics are absolutely crucial with so many eyes and ears engaged during an event you have staked your reputation on.
A perfectly run event featuring a solid, professional band that plays at perfect sound levels allows your guests to mingle, network, dance and make the positive impact you desire. “How was the food?” and “How was the band?” are among the most common guest takeaways from 90% of all private events.
We specialize in ensuring that all moving parts of the live music component of your event run smoothly and in perfect harmony, with NO surprises because we understand that even one flaw can prove to be catastrophic. Pub/bar bands are often unable to properly represent your brand and frankly does anyone have the patience to deal with that kind of stress?
Our mission is to serve as your ambassador and put on a show that your team will be proud of, creating memories for your guests to share for many years to come. Great music creates an atmosphere that also encourages content sharing and increases your event and company’s visibility through social media (ie. video/picture sharing through digital channels).
GUARANTEED to keep your crowd cheering, dancing and smiling all night long!
