August 11 – Elevation 6:30 – 8:30pm Sponsored by Lake Shore Savings Bank
U2 are certainly the biggest band on the planet. So if you’re going to put a U2 tribute together, you’d better be sure the tribute lives up to the reputation of the real thing. Introducing Elevation, the world’s leading U2 tribute.
Based in Toronto, Canada, Elevation have been together since 2002. The early days saw Elevation playing local shows in smaller venues, but promoters and audiences alike soon realized that, with their raw passion for the music combined with an academic attention to musical detail, Elevation was something really special and within a year the band was playing major shows across Canada and the USA. Their growing reputation took them to Europe in 2004, and in 2006 the band visited Japan for the first time. Since 2002 Elevation has performed literally hundreds of times to thousands of people all over the world, including shows in Vancouver, Regina, Montreal, Halifax, New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, Orlando, Bermuda, Malta, Sarajevo, Venecia, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tokyo, to namecheck only a few of their destinations, as well as their home city of Toronto. Elevation has headlined at major music festivals, put on special shows for fanfests, and performed at numerous high-level events for some of the biggest corporations in North America, as well as for Canadian and American government agencies. Significantly, the band is invariably booked back.
