It would be hard to put up a link page on our site without a direct link to the main
page of the band, Chicago (to the left). Our band members have played their
tunes since their band started in 1969. We’ve met the guys and taken our own
Chicago Transit show -- a show given ‘thunbs up’ from the Chicago band,
themselves -- as far west as Chicago, Illinois itself.
A good friend and still the best Ray Charles tribute
artist around. We've worked with Frank may times
over the last few years, on both sides of the
Atlantic. The above link is to one of the many
places that Frank can be found on the internet.
Above is a link to our multi-
talented Rod Stewart Tribute
artist, Doug Varty, and his
three-piece rock band.

We've worked with
Suzanne (to the
left, front centre) a
number of tiimes
when she's filled in
with the band.
She's both an
excellent singer,
keyboard player
and floutist. The

the site of her
band Up Front, a
high-energy local
cover band.

Powerhouse has been supporting
Hamilton Tiger Cat Football for years --
whether attending games, calling practice
early because 'the Argos' are coming to
town or the horn players playing the
Canadian anthem before the annual
Labour Day Hamilton/Toronto clash.
On November 2009, eight Juno Award winning Canadian
musicians recorded a song for our Armed Forces, with all
funds going to The Canadian Heroes Initiative, a charity
formed to help and create awareness and support for our
Canadian troops and their families.
The Powerhouse Band's Carlo DiBattista (trumpet, backing
vocals) and former member, Steve Negus (percussion),
were pleased to be part of this recording.

A link to our friends at Attic
Digital. Debi has been a
tremendous help to us with
the design and
maintainance of this
website. If we've had a
problem, it was Debi who
got the first phonecall.
... and, of course, this page would
hardly be complete without a link to
Rod Stewart’s personal website.
