FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Amaizing show at a great location.

Amazing show.! Every performer was fantastic. Love the music and the humour. Really felt like a big party ! You felt like they were singing to you personally. Would see them again! Thanks for a great night of entertainment!

The show was amazing. Brett is very entertaining and enjoyed learning about his journey.

Brett's performance was spot-on; energetic and lively and best of all, down to earth. His interaction with the audience was great. The acoustic coverage of his latest album is a must hear. Thanks Brett and team for a great night; thank you to First Ontario PAC in St. Catharines, ON for hosting this event.

The performance by Marcus Miller and his band on March 15, 2025 was fantastic.....absolutely fantastic. The band delivered 90 minutes of scintillating music and followed by an additional 23 minutes of an encore. Also, Marcus' speaking to the audience and telling the stories and background to some of the songs was highly informative. Personally, the highlight of the show was Marcus' rendition of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"......an obvious tribute to the recently departed Roberta Flack, in whose band Marcus previously played. The rendition was made that much more impactful by the fact that it involved only two instruments....bass clarinet and piano. The event was sold out and I have no doubt that if the concert venue was double the size, it would still have been sold out. Kudos to the organizers for arranging this concert. I was hoping for a "Meet and Greet" or an Autograph Session after the show but that did not happen. That was my only disappointment. All in all, an immensely satisfying experience.

The show was absolutely amazing loved every bit of it. The guys actually reminded me from around 20 years ago when I saw them at Front54 now Moose and goose. When they decide to come back I'll be there for sure.

Don’t forget me when I’m gone ! Love to you all

Tom Cochrane was so good! He had another guitarist Billy Bell join him for several songs and they were awesome together. I enjoyed the stories of how songs were written. The venue was perfect!

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre was first class - no complaints! Tommy Emmanuel was spellbinding! Never seen anything like this! A must show for any guitar player. Warning - yo may experience an urge to sell your guitars, but don't worry - it will pass - keep practicing!

Absolutely wonderful! His musicality, his passion for preserving indigenous language and culture, his energy, everything about him is amazing.

We travelled from Guelph to watch the Jeromy Dutcher performance. It was our first visit to the Performance Centre, very nice facility. The evening was filled with superior performances right from the women's drum group thru to the standing ovation. The musicians assembled were highly skilled and very well suited to the energy and meaning of the evening. Thank you hosting such a gifted group and supporting a vital entertainer to our culture.

Another haunting and beautiful performance by matt Good

I really enjoyed this show. The participants really tried to take on the singer they were portraying. They sounded exceptionally good and interacted with the audience. Definately would recommend this show to my family and friends...I'm actually thinking of going to their performance in Brantford this November. I came away feeling good after seeing this show. Would definately recommend this to others

Fantastic concert put on by justin. This is a must see . He is one of the best musicians ,music writers and lyricists of today.

Primarily I was there for Justin Hayward, so having Mike as the opener was a really great bonus. It's difficult to find complimentary words for what Mike does since they've all been used so many times before, so all I would say is just go see him and experience the amazing playing and great fun interaction with the audience for yourself and find your own words. Given a choice, I would have loved a longer set from both Mike and Justin, but that just means I'm going to have to see them both again the next time they're here - either together or on their own

Justine was amazing. The opening guitarist was exceptional on his own. It was also great to see this guitarist in action supporting Justin during the second park of the concert. I highly recommend this concert.

Really nice venue. Friendly people. And what a treat to see Justin Hayward. Still sounds fantastic and his band members are quite talented. So glad I went.

Excellent showman, and a great guitarist for the great Justin Hayward. An incredible show. This is a must see.

Great venue, seeing kid koala is always a great time. This turntable orchestra is phenomenal and the interaction keeps you in the moment and is great for all ages. Would do it agAin..

Amazing experience. I took my 7 year old son and neither of us will forget the experience. Thank you!
