reviews

"McGuire's voice is every bit as good as on the records, if not better. But more than anything, you can tell these guys have fun playing."

The Suburban - Montreal

"Musically, Trooper was the best band ... Plus, I'm a Trooper fan from way back, and those guys have the best chops, sense of narrative structure and attitude..."

Edmonton Sun

"Ra McGuire was in fine form... gyrating across the stage like a Tai Chi dancer on speed. Brian Smith on lead guitar was brilliant, laying down enough frenetic riffs to keep hard rock aficionados in a hypnotic bliss."

Grande Prairie Daily Herald

Trooper often receives emails from fans requesting the band play a particular show or city. Those fans should know that, in the vast majority of cases, the band plays no role in the choice of their tour stops. Most Trooper's shows are contracted as a direct result of a request made by an event promoter or venue manager.

The efforts of fans do help to bring the band to town and emails requesting a Trooper performance are better directed to the local people responsible for booking the entertainment for the event or venue in question.

Bob Mersereau, in 'Canada's Top 100 albums' says: "There are clubs and festivals across the country where the annual Trooper show is practically an official holiday." Indeed, virtually all of their shows are sold out. Their audience ranges from the enthusiastic teens, singing along in the front rows at their all-ages shows, to the twenty-somethings for whom Trooper has become 'Canada's #1 Party Band', to the legions of baby-boomers who grew up with the band and still come out to Raise a Little Hell.

Beyond their popularity in traditional rock venues, Trooper has become an extremely successful draw at casinos, corporate events, city and municipal fairs and festivals, and, to the delight of many non-rock fans, Canada's largest country music festivals. With a repertoire of over a dozen instantly recognizable hits in their action-packed and entertaining set, it's no surprise that Trooper can successfully perform anywhere, any time.
