“This is a high energy group with incredible audience interaction”
“Any event they have done with us has resulted in extremely positive guest reactions and our dance floor is packed from the minute they start right through to their very last song”
“Hearing the chants from our crowds of ‘encore’ ‘encore’ at the end of the evening is a wonderfully gratifying reaction to our selection of entertainment”
Paul A. Doucette, General Manager Sawmill Banquet & Catering Centre
They are awesome! It’s so great to see people from eighteen to eighty up on the dance floor when they're playing. The Band are so involved with the dancers throughout the evening, it’s wonderful.

On Dec 5th 2015, we had 5 On The Side play our staff Christmas party. I've seen many local bands over the years but I don't think I've seen one of this caliber ever! The band is incredibly tight and Sarah (lead singer) is world class. This lady can sing Alicia Keys and Whitney and if you close your eyes, you wouldn't know it wasn't the original artists!! She's THAT good! I found myself standing and recording in awe!!
Congrads and thank you for playing our party. If you're looking for a quality band playing a huge verity of dance songs and fantastic interaction with the audience, you just found them in this band! Outstanding!!
Steve Russell - Arctic Spas,
Wow...our wedding was amazing and "Five on the Side" put it over the top!!! Even people who told us they never dance were up on the floor all night long dancing. We were extremely impressed by the Band's ability to sing a variety of songs and to impress and engage a crowd. The Band has a wonderful sense of humor and a strong relationship amongst all the band members. We would hire them all over again. It truly was a night to remember!! Thanks Sarah and all the guys!!!
Iveta and Cliff McMillan,
Five on the Side did a magnificent job of connecting with everybody! I watched as little kids happily shook their booties
in the middle of the dance floor with the lead singer ... and everybody else two-stepped around the outside.
It was a rollicking good time! We will be back.

"I just wanted to let you know (although, I’m sure we’ve already told Dawson several times) that we absolutely LOVED having you all be a part of our wedding. Five on the Side made the atmosphere energetic, upbeat and so, so much fun! I don’t think there was a song that you played that didn’t have a crowd of dancers on the floor. Your performance was impressive to say the least.
Thank you again!"

"The event we attended last fall for the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees was a great success thanks to your band. You played a great selection of music that got everyone up and dancing. The dance floor was packed (this is unheard of) and everyone was getting into the beat. Your lead singer has a very talented voice and I predict that she will be on the charts some day. By the way, did I also mention that she was smoking hot!
Thanks again."
Erik Larson, Edmonton, AB

"A live act that is both refined and fun! Five on the Side take the songs we know and love and perform them with skill and real verve. This is a great act!"
Phil Greet Axis Cafe, Edmonton, AB
“Had the pleasure of being in the audience and experiencing this energetic, charismatic, entertaining group! Variety of songs were vastly different from other bands, their energy and interaction with the crowd was infectious! (Loved the Beach Boys, Heart, ABBA….and you nailed the Vince Gill songs) just a highly enjoyable night, thanks to all 5 of you!”
Keith Kinloch, Edmonton, AB
