Come enjoy the explosive entertainment, great food and cool people. 7-11 Dave Statham-vocals/hilarity Robert Horvath-Keys Ron Johnston-bass... Frank Botos-drums Don't forget our very special guest Tippy the tip jar. I wonder what crazy stories he'll have for us. This band is so hot it isn't even funny. I'll make up the difference. See more

Back by popular demand. (Well, they didn't say don't come back.) I'll be singing my fool head off at The Thornhill Pub this Friday and Saturday nights. Different bass and keys both nights but all involved are killer players. Steve Farugia on drums both nights. He's really good, too.

David Statham 08.10.2020

I have a couple gigs this weekend you may or may not want to check out. Friday - Thornhill Pub with Dale Scaife on keys, Ron Johnston on bass and the fabulous Steve Farrugia on drums. 8-12 or so. We had a great time there a couple weeks ago. Really cool room. Saturday - I'm singing with Swing Shift at The Rex with...lots of people on various instruments. It's an 18 piece band and I don't feel like listing them all. 3:30-6:30

David Statham 28.09.2020

It's tonight! The weather is currently pleasant. I'm very much looking forward to this. The pipes are working like never before in my life. Come out and feel the good feelings. 7-9

David Statham 11.09.2020

Last Saturday at the Rex was a total gas. I could barely move in there. Swing Shift is thrilled to be performing an evening Sinatra and Basie classics for your dining and dancing pleasure at The Old Mill this Saturday night. Doors open at 6:30 for dinner and the band kicks it into high gear at 8:00.

David Statham 28.08.2020

It's that time of year again. That time of year when I make several attempts to invite people to my birthday spectacular and fail persistently until a few days before the show. Once again I will be playing and slaying the Rex in Toronto with Swing Shift Big Band this Saturday AFTERNOON 3:30-6:30. So don't see the word Saturday and assume you can't make it.... This band is a spicy 18 piece bucket of entertainment power so roll up those sleeves and get greasy with us. We'll be playing all your favourite swingin' classics with some great holiday favourites while you relax with some incredible food and drink. Get there as early as you can if you want to sit. It's always full of groovy people having a super time.

David Statham 25.08.2020

Hello there. I had a super time playing Saturday night at the 60th birthday party of Sue-Ann Levy. Congratulations on your special day and your new book! Lots of groovy people there including Mayor John Tory. A big gold star goes to Paul Grecco for playing the heck out of a real live piano. Even more special thanks to Emina for keeping us fed and beveraged. So, who's playing your birthday?

David Statham 20.08.2020

Good evening, friends. Wow. it's been one heck of a while. I've spent most of this year singing on cruise ships and I am now back. I thought I'd let you know about a great gig I've got coming up. Not only is Saturday, Dec. 5th the anniversary of my glorious birth. It's also the day I sing with Swing Shift at The Rex. It is sure to be a fantastic afternoon of great music and buying me drinks. 3:30-6:30 Sat, Dec. 5th, The Rex.

David Statham 07.08.2020

Hello friends. I'm very excited to let you know about next Friday at the Robert Mclaughlin Gallery in Oshawa. I'll be letting it all hang out with the incredible Swing Shift Little Big Band as part of the gallery's First Friday event that takes place each month. Not only will this be an exciting show but it's also day 1 of my birthday weekend. The next day I'll be at The Rex hotel with the full Swing Shift Big Band and then I'm spending the first half of 2015 singing on a cruise ship. So, come have a drink with me and say bon voyage. https://www.facebook.com/events/321060398096812/

David Statham 19.07.2020

Time for an update. Last Saturday at The Rex was fantastic. We played some new stuff and I didn't screw it up. We also raised a pile of money for Head For A Cure. The one stop jazz safari Thursday night at Lula Lounge was crazy nuts. I know it's always going to be great but I'm surprised every time. Met David Clayton Thomas. What a voice. Big thanks to Jaymz Bee, JazzFM plus the band and Howard on sound for making it easy.

David Statham 15.07.2020

It's been a quiet spring but now it's time to make some sweet noise with Swing Shift Big Band tomorrow at The Rex. We'll be a part of the TD Jazz Fest from 3:30 - 6:30. Come join us as the band powers through big band classics. It'll be a gas.

David Statham 01.07.2020

Can't wait to see all you fine folks at The Rex this afternoon. Swing Shift and I are going to melt away the snow with our musical heat! 3:30-6:30. Right on!

David Statham 29.06.2020

Hello everyone. It's time we started digging ourselves out and hitting the town again. A good way to lose the winter blues once and for all is to come out to The Rex this Saturday, March 8th. I'll be singing with the incredible Swing Shift Big Band. 3:30-6:30. One of the city's best bands in one of the city's best clubs. Lots of swingin' favourites, tasty food and some solid folks. Be one of them.

David Statham 09.06.2020

It's Xmas and I bet you could use a fun night out. Come join me at The Homesmith Bar and Grill at The Old Mill Friday night with Joe Sealy on keys and Paul Novotny on bass. We'll be performing tunes you know and love plus a few holiday favourites. 7:30-10:30. It'll be like an Andy Williams Christmas special. Kind of.

David Statham 19.05.2020

I may have had the best gig of my life on Sunday night. My throat was shredded from the night before and I felt panic when I noticed we were doing FOUR sets. That's a lot even on a good night. With the help of the incredible Kimberly Wetmore and Nathan Whitley we kept them on the dance floor to the last note. But don't take my word for it. Dig this Gigmasters review. Corporate Function in Minett, ON on 09/29/2013 Overall Satisfaction:... "EXCELLLENT is the best word to describe the Brian Rose Band. The quality of the musicians was excellent, the showmanship wonderful and the ability to work with the crowd was fantastic. They engaged our group and filled the dance floor all night. Everyone raved that it was the best band we have ever hired! Kim was great to work as well. Well done and highly recommended." - Tanya P. See more

David Statham 14.05.2020

Hello, friends. I'm assuming most of you are here because of Jazz Dave but, like most musicians, I'll use any excuse to get on stage and make a spectacle of myself. So, I thought I'd let you know that tomorrow night I'm sing with The Bomb in Ajax at The Edge. We'll be belting out all the biggest hits from the 80's and it's going to be a gas. The place will be packed and the dance floor will get tore up. If you're looking to party there's no other place you want to be.

David Statham 05.05.2020

Another busy weekend. The Beaches Jazz Fest is on this weekend and I'll be singing with The Brian Rose Band at the northwest corner of Kew Gardens Thursday and Friday nights starting at 7.
