Canadian Beauty's first ever Grateful Dead tribute show was in 2005 at Logan's Pub. Over the years tributes to Neil Young, Bob Dylan, The Band, The Allman Brothers Band and Gram Parsons have surfaced under a pile of different band names. The band endeavour to make the music they play their own. As skilled improvisors, they'd rather put their personal stamp on the songs than perform note-for-note renditions.
And the band's history goes even farther back to 1997 when Chris, Lucky, Paul, Dan & Brent (and Pharis) were doing original tunes and some covers in the band Lift. They then started branching out to doing Neil (1999), Bob (2000) & Dead (2005) tributes on special occasions. Marc joined the band in 2005 providing the core of Canadian Beauty. Damian and Esme have rounded out the band and they are better than ever.
Members of the band have performed with: Jon and Roy, Jesse Roper, Pharis and Jason Romero, Paul Pigat, Aidan Knight, The Best Guys In Town, and many more.
