Theatre of Pain (Motley Crue tribute) – Friday 5:00-7:00 PM

Theatre of Pain (Motley Crue tribute)
Theatre of Pain (Motley Crue tribute)
These guys look and play the part and sound just like the Crüe. The singer’s vocals are so close to the real Vince Neil that if you closed your eyes for a moment you can envision him standing in front. Between songs he would interact with the crowd in his well known flamboyant way which was actually very entertaining.

The guitarist, as Mick Mars, plays fast with his fingers and has perfect tone delivering those guitar riffs that make you want to bring out the air guitar right then and there. The bass player – what can I say about the bass player other than “is this the real Nikki”? Everything mirrors Nikki Sixx in so many ways, from the way he holds and plays the bass to how he stands and does backup vocals. Behind the guys, the drummer fit right in as Tommy Lee – wild and entertaining.

Rayzor’s Edge – Friday 9:00 PM – 11:00 PM

Rayzor’s Edge
Rayzor’s Edge started out around a campfire somewhere in North Ontario. Ray and Jake have been playing in the Warkworth area for the last few years. They are inspired by music, yet face the challenges of raising a family and paying the bills. They love to play classic rock, rockin’ country and Ray’s originals as well.

At the age of 14, Ray decided he would like to play guitar, so he picked up his brother’s and taught himself “Heart of Gold” by Neil Young. It took him six weeks and he has been playing ever since. In his early twenties, Ray made a living playing the bars in Toronto, but left that life for his family. Ray writes and has a large collection of his own material.

Jake has been singing in his car since he was 16, but only in recent years has decided to take it to the stage. Jake has taken to karaoke at the local legion and continues on with Rayzor’s Edge.
