  • Talented musicians, great chops, and beautiful vocals. The audience, ranging from college students, to senior citizens, all enjoyed the performance and left impressed!

  • Kanola Band kicked off the 15th year of GRAM on The Green in style! I truly can't think of a better act to play the first concert of this year's series...A treat for all in attendance!

  • ...very professional, very entertaining, and the audience was tapping and clapping along...It felt like a summer celebration in New Orleans. Would recommend the Kanola Band 100%!
