Ed and the Stingrays have probably logged 1,000,000 miles, and with it, entertaining a "gazillion" adoring fans who love being taken through decades (not just 2-3 years) of powerful life changing songs we all listened to in the early days. Either in our car's as teens, as younger kids on our parents stereo or live if you were fortunate enough in ... Read Morethe day.
Always enjoy their gigs, noticing, they haven't lost steam over the years, much like the very songs they entertain us with, each and every show.
Love to see them up here in Lindsay for a return trip some day soon.
Rock and Roll it!!

My husband and I have never attended a performance at the Aylmer Marina before last Saturday evening. My sister-in-law had invited us to go with them to listen to '50's music'. We are so glad that we had gone. We only stayed for the 1st set - which in itself was great since my husband usually cannot sit for long because of his back. As we walked home we heard you begin your second set and we both wished we could have stayed longer. We did purchase a tee-shirt for our youngest son and also a CD which we plan to play often.
That aside - What a great performance you do! Thank you so very much for such an entertaining and enjoyable evening. We definitely will watch for and attend any other performance you might have within the Outaouais area.
Thank you again.

"This rock ‘n roll band is one of the Ottawa area’s most popular and most enduring show bands,
known for their classic songs and their musicianship which allows them to pay tribute to
the great beach bands and all-time great songs".

"Fun, Fun, Fun" is the best way to describe Eddy & The Stingrays.
After 29 years as a working and touring band, Eddy Fontana, Buddy Love,
Frankie California and Romeo Smooth can still get audiences to laugh, sing,
dance and jump on board with the good time music of Eddy & The Stingrays.
A joy to watch and a great bunch of guys to work and just hang out with.

You and the boys entertained at the ORVDA Convention in Ottawa last weekend (Oct.27, 2007).
My Father was there and is still raving about how much he enjoyed your band.
He is 72 so you no doubt brought back some great memories for him and he said he actually stayed
until you were finished which is pretty rare for him as he often doesn't feel well enough to stay up too late,
especially listening to a band.

I would like to thank you again for the fabulous job you did at our Friday night gala.
Everyone was having such a great time and literally dancing their socks off!!!
Thank you so much for reading the crowd and playing for so long. I don't know how you do it.
Again, please thank all the guys for the fabulous job.
I just love you guys and I'll be on the lookout for more jobs for you!
Thanks,
