August 2, 2021Really Great Show
The band arrived in great time and were very communicative before hand. They set up and did a great show for our campers. The campers were aged between 7 and 17 and all of them loved the experience. The guys were really friendly and interacted with the campers who wanted to speak to them after. Highly recommended and we will be looking to make it an annual thing at camp.

June 17, 2024Always a hit
We had the Dilemma perform at our end-of-year celebration for about 800 people for the second year in a row and as before, they were a hit! We had them perform 90s music last year and 70s music this year. They created the perfect soundscape for our event. Can't wait to have them back again!

What to expect
An audience member should expect to see an act with true power, passion, and presence on a performance stage. The music stylistically ranges from heavy electric rock and roll power, all the way to quiet and intimate acoustic music, to anything in between. Expect to feel as though you are part of the band thanks to the connection and interaction the Band has with the Audience. There is no compromise between musical ability and performance skill, satisfying the desires of both musicians and fans alike.
