For those of you that may not know "The Directors" so well,
Here's a brief history.....
30 Years ago, two young boys just wanted to Rock n' Roll, 30 years later, the band has gorwn to ten and has gained quite a large amount of recognition throughout the montreal and Toronto areas.
Time doesn't stop this musical machine!
With credits such as appearing in Montreal's first run of "Tony and Tina's wedding" at the Centaur Theatre , playing for the former Prime Minister of Canada, Paul Martin, you might even find them giving back at a charity event, or if you're lucky, you might even catch them at a local bistro or restaurant. The Directors could show up almost anywhere! Sometimes even unannounced.
For the most part, The Directors is a 10-piece variety band . The Directors provide a wide
variety of top 40, R&B, dance, jazz, Pop, Rock, Disco, standards, Rock n Roll,
tangos, cha-chas, captivating duets and classic ballads.
A thrill ride for any musical appetite.
With supercharged energy, versatility and crowd interaction The Directors
are Montreal’s most sought after showband.

Enough with the history lesson, here are some current happenings in the lives of "The Directors"
The Band played a "small band" gig over at Bistro Westminister
Nice menu, great wine selection, the owner, Ed Smith,
was friendly and took very good care of us as he did all of his regular and newly established clientele.
The joint was jumping! And the band played on as many chose even to get up and dance.
With the Directors,it ain't easy to stay in your seat.
More info. to come on the gig set for May 4th at the Queen Elizabeth....
Until then, Stay happy, and stay humble....
The Directors.
