Streetheart & Honeymoon Suite
December 27 @ 9:00 pm
STREETHEART
2019 saw the return of Streetheart to playing live shows after a two year hiatus to mark and honour the passing of lead vocalist Kenny Shields in 2017.
Original founding members Daryl Gutheil and Ken “Spider” Sinnaeve along with long time Streetheart alumnus Jeff Neill are joined by Paul McNair on lead vocals and Chris Sutherland on drums to reignite the songs and legacy of one of Canada’s most respected R&R bands.
Since the band’s inception in 1977, Streetheart has always prided itself in presenting their music with the highest level of skill, energy and execution and the current lineup has delivered on their promise to continue that long tradition of musical excellence.
The band received rave reviews show after show throughout 2019 and is as strong musically as it ever has been. With a list of chart topping hits that include Action, Under My Thumb, Here Comes The Night, Hollywood, Tin Soldier, What Kind Of Love Is This, One More Time, Snow White and Look In Your Eyes, along with the most requested tracks from their catalogue of platinum albums, Streetheart’s ability to deliver top quality shows to their audiences night after night is guaranteed.
With the events of 2020 putting the entire music industry on hold, Streetheart has taken that setback and turned it into opportunity. With more than 60 songs written and recorded over the past calendar year, the band is looking forward to the release of new Streetheart material as they move forward into 2021.
The band has once again taken its place amongst the very best in the country and you can expect great things ahead for Streetheart as they continue their musical journey.
Honeymoon Suite
Johnnie Dee and Derry Grehan, the principal and founding members of Honeymoon Suite, met when introduced by manager Stephen Prendergast in 1982. Deciding to work together, they formed Honeymoon Suite with Grehan’s former Steve Blimkie And The Reason’ band-mate Dave Betts on drums, plus an anonymous keyboard player and bassist.
In 1983 they decided to enter the Homegrown Contest put on yearly by Toronto’s Q107-FM radio station so Prendergast approached his friend and producer Tom Treumuth to produce a song for them. Based on the buying public’s response, “New Girl Now” won the contest and Bob Roper at WEA Canada was so impressed with the song and response that he signed the band right away.
Honeymoon Suite’s second album was released on Valentine’s Day 1986. ‘The Big Prize’ featured a rare appearance by Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson. It went platinum in Canada almost immediately and started selling steadily in the US. Tours in the States that year included opening stints for Heart, .38 Special, ZZ Top, Journey, Starship, and Saga. The band also headlined a sold-out show at the Kingswood Music Theatre just north of Toronto. Ray Coburn left and was replaced by Toronto whiz-kid keyboardist Rob Preuss (formerly of the Spoons). 1986 also saw the band win a gold award for ‘Best Live Act’ at the World Popular Song Festival in Tokyo, the ‘Group Of The Year’ Juno and headline more dates in both Canada and some northern States.
