THE BAND

We are Three Best Friends—all four of us—and are a new, exciting, and potent rock band. We offer a repertoire of rock and pop hits, pulled from the last forty years of old-school FM radio, professionally delivered and subtly reinvented. Hatched at the end of 2019, but with a schedule interrupted by the global pause button, we are a recent medley of experienced musicians built around veteran frontman and well-toured Toronto native Mark McDougall whose former credits include The Jets, Designer, Uexist, Legend, and Q107 Homegrown winners, Earth Machine. While Mark’s nimble vocals and multi-instrumentality blaze the way, the band’s backline is filled out by Bill Charney (Quasihands), Gregg Oliver—both alumni of Admit One and the 1984 Sound of Music Festival—Steve Nicholson and Cary Marks, all of whom have shared the stage with some of Canada’s biggest names. As long as you have electricity, secure paint, and a fridge, we are confident we can transform your event, bar, or special occasion from laid-back to libertine.
