December 23, 2025Amazing Performance
We've had the pleasure of them performing at our Canadian Tire for the last several years and they are always amazing. Very professional and prepared. Their music is great and they interact with the crowd even in an unusual event space like our retail store. Can't wait to have them back again next year.

March 26, 2025Wonderful Performance at the Spoke!
We had the pleasure of hosting The Amores at The Spoke for our St. Patrick’s Day festivities, and they were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, they were professional, well-prepared, and an absolute joy to work with. Their daytime set was lively and engaging, featuring an impressive variety of genres that kept the energy high and the crowd entertained throughout.
If you're looking for a band that delivers an outstanding live performance with seamless musicianship, The Amores are an excellent choice. Highly recommend!

August 16, 2024Experience and professionalism cannot be beat!
We couldn’t be happier with our gig. The Amores’ communication before the event was always prompt, professional, and kind. At our wedding they got right to it and played an awesome set with a great mix of tunes that delighted our guests and kept the mood right where we had discussed. They accommodated our requested first dance song and produced a delightful rendition of a song that played at my parents wedding which was very touching for me. Going to recommend them to friends and family!

About
The Amores (acoustic duo) consists of full-time members Celina DiCecca on vocals and fiddle, as well as Tony Nesbitt-Larking on vocals, guitar. These musical masterminds create new music and recreate old music. Celina brings experience from the traditional world. She builds her fiddle sound from old time, celtic and country elements, with of course a bit classical touch at times. Tony's extensive jazz background extends from playing behind the drum kit, to playing on his left handed acoustic guitar, to pushing a pencil on manuscript paper composing. Take Tony's technical chops and genius musical mind combined them with Celina's sweet voice and dynamic fiddling and you've got the ingredients for an acoustic Amores experience.
The Amores (full band) consists of 5 core pro musicians; female and male lead vocals, guitar, keyboard, bass, fiddle and drums. Covering a range of styles from Celtic to Motown to Classic Rock and more. Our audiences always enjoy our energetic performances. If you are looking for a full band to entertain your guests and guarantee great time, request The Amores Full Band.
