a few words from our audience:

  • "After scouring the internet for weeks looking for a wedding band for our big day last summer, we found Garrett Barbuto & The Hot Pursuit right in our backyard in Calgary! And boy, did we find not only a gem of a band but also a group of some of the nicest, most respectful, and talented beauties in all of Alberta. Everyone says they think their wedding was 'the best,' and we're here to tell you they're all wrong—because Garrett and the boys weren't their band. Our *entire* guest list, made up of multiple age groups and backgrounds, did not leave the dance floor for four straight hours and three encores. The energy the band brought was contagious—so contagious, in fact, that the whole dance floor physically shifted two feet (true story)! It's a true testament to the band's style, talent, and good nature that over half a dozen of our wedding guests have asked us for their contact info since our wedding. We couldn’t be happier to recommend this band to anyone for any occasion—you won’t regret it."

  • Garrett Barbuto & The Hot Pursuit have been part of The Trop’s music lineup since 2024, and they’re always a crowd-pleaser. They bring a great mix of songs, tons of energy, and always deliver a solid show. Garrett keeps everything easy and professional on the booking side. I would highly recommend The Hot Pursuit to anyone looking to add live entertainment to their event.
