The Blushing Brides - Press Release

The World's Most Dangerous Tribute To The Music Of The Rolling Stones!

As the auditorium lights fade to black and the house music is silenced, a palpable sense of eagerness and excitement is evident in the audience. A unique assortment of inquisitive stares and inaudible murmurs are routinely the norm. An astounding event is about to take place that will not soon be forgotten. Maurice Raymond and the renowned Blushing Brides have taken the stage! Blinding lights and fever pitch sounds burst upon the crowd with ear-splitting hysteria. The sudden impact of the graceful and high intensity stage presence of the front-man, Raymond, instantly mesmerizes the entire assembly. That swagger, the pout, the vibrancy….it seems all too familiar! As the charismatic Raymond struts and prances towards the centre stage microphone, he pauses to taunt the audience in the same unpredictable mannerism as his predecessor.

By now, with all ages completely riveted on Raymond, he eloquently delivers a startling rendition of Honky Tonk Woman. With his powerful robust vocals that are alarmingly identifiable, there leaves no doubt to even the first-time skeptics in the crowd….Raymond is undeniably the second coming!

Seemingly breathless several songs into the performance, the crowd continues to sit completely spellbound from what they are experiencing. A wicked assault of songs persists one after the next, each song as convincingly similar to the original versions, yet with something more, something more violent, sexual. It is apparent that these live renditions delivered by the Brides have more impact, vigor and intensity than the original recordings.

As the evening progresses, the audience realizes that they are experiencing something extraordinary. A "complete performance" in every sense of the term and a phenomenon in the making.

Obviously, this is no ordinary bar band. The Brides generate interest and expand their already extensive following every time they step onto the stage! The performance is always honest, true, high intensity Rolling Stones, R&B and original music. The Brides perpetually leave it all on the stage and never disappoint. The Brides consistently give the people what they came to experience. They are simply the essence of true musical professionalism….the audience is never cheated or disappointed.
