The Pearl Motel Rocks Grossman's Tavern, All Set for Relish
(December 2018) If you didn't make it out to Grossman's on December 8th, you sure missed a good one. The joint was packed with a generation-spanning crowd that absolutely wore out the dance floor. Joined onstage by our pal, Windsor-based sax ace David Belch, the Motels ripped through our repertoire with even more gusto than usual (if that's even possible). Old faves like Ball and Chain and Burnin' Up For You kept the bodies sweating, while the dancers didn't miss a beat during newer material like You Say You Will But You Won't and The Shadows of Love. Oh and - almost forgot - we also debuted our newest song. The crowd's reaction to Bamboozled by the Flim Flam Man was enthusiastic and we think this one's gonna become a Pearl Motel staple. But don't take our word for it. Come find out for yourself. We'll give the Flim Flam Man (and a bunch of other faves) another workout when we hit Relish Bar & Grill on March 7th. We sure hope to see you there. It's gonna be a great year. Check in to the Pearl and stay awhile! You won't regret it.

Weddings, Parties, Anything...
(May 2017) Some of you may be working under the misguided impression that the Pearl Motel only likes to hang out and play in bars. Well, perish the thought. Of course we love bars (they're awesome), but we just love to play our patented brand of swingin' jazzabilly anywhere and everywhere. In fact, we love to play private events and can entertain your people in a variety of configurations. The Pearl Motel can strip down to leaner combinations of musicians and can still deliver a couple of fun and eclectic sets. And that's the point of this blurb. We can go big (full band) or small to meet the needs of your venue or event. So why not consider the Pearl Motel... We're more fun than a bunch of sailors on shore leave (except, unlike them, we clean up our mess when we leave).
Our Commitment to Original Music Requires a Lot of Friends
(January 2018) As anyone who has seen or heard us knows, the Pearl Motel plays an eclectic mix of material. From Irving Berlin to Frank Sinatra to the Everly Brothers to Lucinda Williams to Johnny Cash, we offer something familiar for almost every taste. But our main stock in trade is our commitment to writing and performing original songs. It is an honour to be able to share these songs with you and we are grateful to everyone who supports local musicians making original music. And no one supports live and local music more than our local entrepreneurs who lend players like us their stages. Bar and restaurant owners are the lifeblood of any local music scene. No one is getting rich, but we all share in the joy of making and presenting fantastic music. None of it would work without you. So thanks for coming out and supporting both artist and venue with your open ears and, frankly, your wallets. Music lovers like you keep all of us in business (If you need a quick hit of the Pearl Motel, just click the links directly below)
Listen... Right here... Right now!(June 2017) It's between gigs and you haven't yet got your copy of our mini album, The Storm Sessions. How do you scratch that itch? Easy. Just stream a few songs from the record right here at thepearlmotel.com.
Whenever you need a fix of our swingin’ and genre-defying tuneage, just click on these links or check out our “Songs” tab, where you’ll find set list staples Beautiful Disaster, I Wanna Know and Behind Your Eyes. Stream away. The boss won’t mind. Heck, she’ll probably dig ‘em too. She might even ask how come you have such amazing taste in music and then, perhaps, she’ll offer you a big time promotion because, well, someone with such classy and refined preferences in music is probably the next corporate high-flyer… Who knows? Anything can happen when you check in at the Pearl Motel… Give us a listen. And pick up at copy of the Storm Sessions at one of our gigs... only $10. Can't beat that!

Next up:
Relish Bar & Grill (2152 Danforth Ave.) Thursday March 7th 7-9pm OK, we'll admit it. We don't like the cold, so we've been hunkering down in the (relative) warmth of the Pearl Motel's secret hideout and waiting for spring. But, dagnabit, we've been getting a bit of cabin fever lately and can't wait to come out to play again. We'll be doing just that on Thursday March 7th at our favourite east end joint, Relish Bar & Grill. This is an awesome time slot. Come for dinner, come for drinks and best of all, come for the Pearl Motel. We'll satisfy your soul while chef Joanne Clayton satisfies the rest with her fantastic tapas menu and beautifully stocked bar. Best of all, you can be home and tucked in at a reasonable hour - if that's your bag. So come out and swing the night away with us. You'll be glad you did.
