EVENT DETAILS

Launch Party/Bowie Karaoke/Bowie Bazaar

Grab some swag from the Bazaar then chat up the organizers, sponsors, the Bowie fans, and celebrities in attendance. All this, followed by a couple hours of Bowie Karaoke. There will be prizes and surprises.

I Will Be King

With his death, I WILL BE KING has taken very special measures to present the best Bowie tribute possible, recognizing that there are few or no female-centric bands that would dare to undertake this. I WILL BE KING is a dynamic 6-piece band with impressive harmonies, playing everything from Bowie’s hits to the more obscure creations that will satisfy even the most die-hard Bowie fan.

Lady Grinning Soul

A courageous take on the music of David Bowie performed acoustically by the trio of Elana Harte, Janet Whiteway & Suzie Burmester.

The Bowie Lives

5 stars! “Unbelievable” from Richard Crouse of CTV’s PopLife. “By far the coolest Bowie tribute I’ve ever seen,” says promoter Sam Grosso. They’re talking about the “The Bowie Lives” Canada’s most sensational Bowie Spectacular!

Michael Bell is an award-winning vocalist who channels the sound and styles of David Bowie, and with the help of an all-star band, theater and costumes, captures the imagination of fans young and old. www.thebowielives.com
