Woodbridge Jazz, Blues, R&B, Latin Singer a TOM's TOP 10 G.T.A. Booking

I first caught whiff of songbird Lori Viola's husky vocals while sitting at the piano bar lounge at Villa Risi Ristorante ( Envision me speaking ala Humphrey Bogart ). I'd been sitting with Peter, one of the owners of Villa Risi, when suddenly this sultry voice wrapped in velvet enveloped my limited attention span - a feat in itself. I was enamored. This dame had class. Something, I, unfortunately, was born without. LORI VIOLA - Jazz, Blues, R&B, Latin, Swing, Italiano, Pop Singer
Lori Viola is also fluent in Italian and available alone, as a duo, or with her band.

Accompanied by her Pianoman, the steamy, bluesy,  jazzy, rythm and blues numbers Lori Viola belted out, added an ambiance so missing in today's G.T.A. entertainment scene - let alone dining and entertainment.

Performances in fine dining restaurants - even ones offering a fine cuisine and decor at affordable prices and a beautiful piano bar - are far and few between, and finding a gem Lady Singer with the range in both vocal abilities with the sheer number of songs that she is able to warble, was a definite bonus for me on this night, setting mood as such I'd not had in some time. A walk back in time if you will, like an old movie sound track, and certainly a pleasure worthy of any special occasion, wedding, reception, anniversary, birthday, swank theme night, fundraiser, or suitable film / tv / video / audio production.


Lori's R&B version of a "Georgia" so touched a local radio station owner as to inquire as to who the singer of the beautiful recording he was listening too was, unaware whilst dining in another room, that the sultry voice was no recording at all but a live performance of Ms. Viola, prompting him to request a copy to play on their station - which they did much to her delight...and that of the listeners!


Don't take my word for it, glimpse Lori Viola's video performance captured at a recent show!  You can be a listener now as Lori is now available across York Region, The G.T.A. and The Golden Horseshoe for a limited number of private bookings. Make your special event remembered for all the right reasons. Visit the website for booking contacts and more detailed information.

Singer Lori Viola is a TPE Productions Top 10 Booking

Highway 11 Cruisers Newmarket Car Club Not The Newmarket Car Club -

When is the Newmarket car club not The Newmarket Car Club? When the Newmarket car club you are referring to is one based in Newmarket and not actually called "The Newmarket Car Club", but called the Highway 11 Cruisers Car Club, which often is confused with the smaller, actually named, Newmarket Car Club. Confused yet? Okay I'll simplify it all.The Highway 11 Cruisers, sometimes referred to, mistakenly, as The Newmarket Car Club - which The Newmarket Car Club in name does actually exist - but is not the Highway 11 Cruisers Car Club which hosts the big shows in the area such as the Upper Canada Mall car show as well as the big Mega Speed show in the International Centre in March where in 2014 this Newmarket car club, called the Highway 11 Cruisers C.C., are being featured as a top club. Not The Newmarket Car Club!

Pres Danny middle wishes happy birthday to member
I recently got to spend a little time with some group members at a birthday and over the sold out New Year's Eve at their annual gala with proceeds to Sick Kids, and they are a really down to earth bunch that all share an enthusiasm for cars which was apparent as we all viewed some cool footage of a funny car take off that one of the members had videoed having been lucky enough to get close access. Or unlucky! Ha.

Besides the bigger exciting events, the Highway 11 Cruisers also has weekly fun get togethers such as Tuesday car runs starting from Harveys Restaurant on highway 11 in Newmarket, and does a run along its namesake highway - sometimes to Aurora, Richmond hill, Thornhill , Markham, Vaughn or beyond York Region other times maybe towards Bradford, Georgina or Barrie. Have this Newmarket car club cruise through your "Hood!"

Door Prizes
The C.C. is also active in the community with fundraisers and involved in awareness campaigns such as the Friendly Neighbourhood Youth Road hockey Challenge (Car!) and H11 Cruisers host events such as the Annual Family Glow Bowling night which the club will be hosting on February 15th at Stellar Lanes Bowl, 1220 Stellar dr Newmarket. Everyone is welcome. Glo-Bowling Entry is $22/person includes 2 hours of glow bowling, shoe rental, pizza and soft drink. There will also be tons of door prizes and raffles.
DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 3RD, 2014 For more details visit the Highway 11 Cruisers FB events page 


Sound like a group you'd be interested in checking out? Attend an exciting 2014 show coming to a community near you! Or give President Danny Fachino a call and he'll welcome you on board!

Happy New Year ! TP Out!
