Tribute Bands and Events in the Lower Mainland
It’s so much fun seeing your favourite artist live in concert. However, some of the most famous musicians no longer tour, or, when they do, getting tickets can be ridiculously challenging and expensive. This is where tribute bands come in. They are talented groups of singers and musicians that put on shows and sing popular songs by popular artists. The events are a blast to go to. You can sing and dance to your favourite tunes with friends and family, and all for a very reasonable price.
Moon Coin Productions is a local company dedicated to providing high quality shows and entertainment to audiences in Canada and internationally. The organization helps artists share their music with the world by hosting events throughout the year. While the company signs original artists, many of their concerts are also headlined by tribute bands.

We saw this show in 2023 and it was so much fun! Ryan Langevin was amazing. There were ten artists in the show including eight musicians and a couple of dancers.

One of Billy Joel’s most famous songs is The Piano Man.
