“What a delightful evening in Quesnel! Dock Side Drive was highly entertaining… with the variety of music and their polished performance. They were having a good time and so were we.”

“Our audience loved the high energy, engaging performances by Dock Side Drive’s three lead singers, tight rhythm and horn sections, and their selection of favourites from the 40’s to the 60’s. They were enjoyed equally by the enthusiastic dancers and those who just wanted to listen to the great tunes.”
