As for Mariposa 2018, it was amazing. Beautiful weather, astonishing venue and incredible talent of all ages joining the band for Saturday + Sunday afternoon sets on the FolkPlay Stage and Saturday night in the Mariposa Pub.
SUMMER IS HERE AND THAT MEANS MORE KARAOKE MADNESS!
This past weekend the year tipped over the halfway mark at 183 days and remarkably Good Enough Live Karaoke logged its 110th show of 2018! It's been an epic year and there's no stopping the band from spreading the live band karaoke love far and wide.
This weekend Good Enough will be at the storied Mariposa Festival playing Saturday and Sunday afternoon sets on the Folkplay family stage as well as a pub set Saturday night. But before that they'll be popping by the Rec Room Roundhouse Thursday and stopping into Queen's Bar in Port Elgin on Friday night. The following weekend the band is going to be at two epic events in Toronto. At 8pm they'll be opening the Air Guitar Canada National Championship at the Mod Club before heading to Scadding Court to play the Fringe Festival's FREE Postscript 80s Prom Party.
And keeping with summer and outdoor fun, Good Enough Live Karaoke is thrilled to be playing Nuit Blanche North in Huntsville on Saturday July 28. Plus there will be another amazing festival announcement in the coming days!!!
Good Enough was also super amped to be invited to play the #anythinggoes media launch of Old Navy's super fun summer collection at the Island Yacht Club the night before the solstice.

HEY IT'S MARCH AND WE HAVE NEWS!
Tonight marks our 42nd show of 2018! And since 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything, by default that means Good Enough Live Karaoke is the answer to all your questions! All you have to do is show up, pick a song, join the band on stage and give 'er! Plus our bass player Michael Small (who may or may note be related to Derek Smalls) made this cool promo video he likes to call GELKER-things! |

We are also super excited to have been invited to play the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival in Orillia on July 7 + 8. You'll find the band in the family-friendly Folkplay area. And we couldn't be more excited! We'll be sharing the stage with some other stellar talent - puppets! And if you know our intrepid band leader Tim McCready, you know this is very, very happy news! And not to be competitive about it, but we noticed that unlike Spinal Tap, we were billed above the puppets.

HELLO 2018! THIS YEAR IS ALREADY EPIC!
Last year was absolutely awesome with the band playing 178 shows and clocking in almost 600 hours on stage making people happy! A lot of people!
If you do the math - and we have - that means Good Enough played for 36,000 minutes, and say we consider the average song 4 minutes, we're looking at about... 9000 songs!
And since people don't always sing solo - and sometimes come up in large groups - that could mean over 10,000 people sang on stage with us!
So this year we have a resolution, to make the live band karaoke revolution even more epic! We Play, You Sing and we couldn't be more grateful! xox

GOOD ENOUGH LIVE KARAOKE IS NOW!
This week our intrepid band master Tim McCready was interviewed by Now Weekly's Carla Gillis about the band and taking the mic to sing karaoke. You can read the interview here!
BIG NEWS!
Last week for the first time ever, Good Enough Live Karaoke split into two line ups to ensure people could get on stage and sing at Doogie's in Guelph as well as at The Garrison for a special Bowieaoke tribute marking the death of David Bowie. The band is super excited about some upcoming gigs which include a PhD graduation, a wedding, a retirement party and a corporate event proving Good Enough Live Karaoke is one of the few musical experiences with no age barriers. And in the next few days we'll be announcing some AWESOME news about a special summer event.
Amazingly a few mere months ago Ruhee Dewji was a guest at a corporate holiday event and struck up a conversation with Tim about her music! Now she's been added to the band roster playing sax - and as of the recent Bowieaoke tribute - keys too! We're so excited for her energy and musical contributions!
We're also excited to have a new band logo designed by Viv Kosy.

Mark Anthony Wine & Spirits slamming!
Huge props to the amazing regional teams from Mark Anthony Wine & Spirits who gathered at Gladstone Ballroom, on the last night of February, with costumes and choreography for one of the greatest nights in GELK memory. Monumental moments included performances by Cher, Stevie Nicks, Kid Rock and Gord Downie lookalikes plus completely outrageous interpretations of Like a Surgeon, Cadillac Ranch and a mildly disturbing rendition of Pony. Thanks for the enthusiasm and awesome images!

Owen Sound <3 Good Enough Live Karaoke
On a snowy night in February, the band made their way to the Heartwood Concert Hall in Owen Sound to rage for five hours. This was their third visit and the show was sold out before they hit the stage! Thank you for the love and watch the site for deets on a return engagement. They followed up with a private event at the Sarnia Golf and Curling Club on Saturday night proving they don't only want to rock Toronto audiences but ensure that people across Ontario get to sing their faces off with a live band.
An epic year for Good Enough Live Karaoke
As 2016 careens to a close, it's a great time to reflect on an amazing year of music and making people happy. The band recently celebrated its 3rd anniversary and Tim added up the gigs. It may seem bonkers, but #GoodEnoughLiveKaraoke will have played a total of 80 shows this year! And given the band is known for epic sets that often clock in at 4 hours or more, that adds up to a potentially record-breaking 300 hours of letting you take the mic and sing your faces off.
THANK YOU to everyone who has supported Good Enough Live Karaoke and we look forward to rocking your world in 2017!
