Reviews

Marion and her band have appeared on Rogers TV York Region, FM 102.7 WhiStle Radio Stouffville Ontario, FM 100.9 Canoe Radio Haliburton Ontario and TheHAZEFM Mississauga Ontario.

I cannot say enough good things about this band... they sure know how to please a crowd! They are total professionals who go about the business of delivering great music well-suited to their talents without the 'navel-gazing' so much in evidence amongst other musical groups. Even their patter is light and brief. I will certainly book them again and I think they'd provide great entertainment at any event.

Thanks guys. You made my job easy for your set.

I just wanted to send a note of thanks for letting me sit in for a couple of tunes last night. It was fun. It was a very enjoyable evening. The band sounds great. I'll keep in touch with Sonny to see when and where you're playing, and see if I can get people to come out. Live music is a blast, and you and your group make it relaxed and fun.

I spent six months planning a very special surprise 50th birthday party for my dear wife. Everything had to be perfect. The Marion Drexler Band went beyond the call to help me prepare a special song list and even learned a couple of new songs specific to the party. The sound was great all night and the band kept our guests singing and dancing to the last minute! Thanks to Marion for everything the band did to make the big party a smashing success.

The delirium of the music brought me back to the 70's...one step from being a hippie again. One great band!

We had a great time at the Stouffville gig last night. The band really rocked! Great new, original tunes too. We danced our little feet off. Let us know when there is another gig in our area.

An article on The Stars of Stouffville concert in support of Whistle Radio referred to "... the amazing, funky Marion Drexler Band, featuring the singer with the inimitable voice."

Thanks for turning me on to a genre I didn't know existed... White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

It always touches my heart when I meet people, such as you, who are so committed to helping out in their community.

You guys are the best! My gosh, there you are in the pouring rain, singing your little hearts out for a handful of people! I know you like to perform and I also know you were doing your best to honour your commitment, but I gotta tell you, this was above and beyond any reasonable expectation. No one, especially MVMF, would have been upset if you had bailed. Most bands did... They weren't as innovative as you at protecting themselves from the elements so it made the lengths you went to mean just that much more. Thanks for going the extra mile... My estimation of you has gone to the stars! Thanks to you... for being somewhat of a 'mainstay' to our Village... there's good reason for that!

It was our true pleasure to have The Marion Drexler Band in the studio – We all had a blast. We will definitely keep in touch – you guys ROCK!!!!

Thank you Marion, Don, Jonathan and Brian! You guys "ROCKED!" the festival. I had such great feedback from AM740 stage audience. You are a fabulous band and one that I would most definitely like to work with again...plus you are so good for a girl's ego. :) Cheers!

It was a real treat to finally see you live - you were all excellent! I already knew your talents from hearing snippets at your office; Don and Brian really rocked, Paul bangs those drums great, and Richard really blows.... Excellent! KEEP ON GROOVIN' AND CROONIN'!

I just wanted to pass along my appreciation for your gig the other day for Pathways. I was telling Sonny how impressed I was with your versatility. The playing and vocal interpretation was outstanding. Great stuff!
RogerPathways to Wine Benefit
The band was absolutely fantastic! They played to the crowd and kept the music upbeat and lively, just what the event needed. Our guests were most impressed and a few of them spontaneously started dancing. A wonderful addition to our event and we have already pre-booked for next year! Thank you for your professionalism and courteous service.

I just wanted to send out a thank you for your help in supporting our Ladybug Fundraising Dance for Cancer...Just thought you might like to know that it was very successful!...Taking the time out of your busy schedules was VERY much appreciated and will not be forgotten. Everyone at the dance was so pleased with your performance and talent. You are a great band!!!!!!! I don't think our dance would have been half of what it was without your band hyping up the atmosphere! We, the Ladybugs, would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

...you guys and gal have a great dynamic going on in your group, that guitar player (*Brian*) is one of the best I have ever seen, you (*Marion*) have a beautiful voice, the drummer (*Jonathan*) looks like a bare-naked lady guy and Donnie is the strong silent type... please let us know where you are playing next.

The Pig Roast was a hit. Marion Drexler band was the main feature band and they rocked the whole night away with the crowd yelling for more! I raised $200 and the party hosts had their own fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Great Facebook Page!! You guys always put on a GREAT show. You've got such a wide range in your bag of tricks, and you are all so committed to making an event memorable. As Lindsay said, "They are all so nice. They all are having a good time performing together. They just seem so happy and were so willing do so whatever was necessary to make the night work!
