By now, with all eyes 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 The Blushing Brides are no average bar band or mediocre clone act of posers. The Brides generate interest, and expand their already extensive following, every time they step on stage! The performance is always honest, true, high intensity Rolling Stones, R&B & original music. The Brides perpetually leave it all on 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!

It becomes abundantly clear, early in the performance, that the Blushing Brides are something exceedingly special and excessively unique in an industry of rampant mediocrity, permeated with bands aspiring to harness the excitement only the Rolling Stones could previously deliver…The Brides are able to generate an intensity where all others have failed miserably.
The phenomenon and mystique - that are "the Brides," is solely attributable to Maurice Raymond perseverance and longevity. In a business where showmanship should be paramount, Raymond has no rivals and is in a class all his own! The potency of his stage presence, persona, and musical interpretations, transform each performance into a memorable concert spectacle. The sensual and provocative stage prancing conducted tirelessly by Raymond, combined with the bands brilliance and energy, overwhelms the audience and creates an intensely electrified atmosphere!

Consummate professionals, Raymond & The Brides, propel every audience to dizzying heights. As though entirely mesmerized and under their spell even the harshest disbelievers are fascinated and consumed by their phenomenal talent.

Although the comparisons are undeniable, the seemingly prototyped Brides have distinguished themselves from the originals ( The Rolling Stones), with a very distinctive sound and delivery. All cover versions clearly have the Brides improvisational signature stamped on them, and are performed at an energy level that is immeasurable. Coupled with a repertoire of original material that is chiselled from the same stone as their predecessors, the stage is set for a powerhouse live experience. The spontaneity and passion of the music, allows the audience to participate, and in effect create the entire event. The Brides have played to sold out major entertainment venues since 1979. From royalty in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai ), and all across North America… the Brides are recognized as the pre-eminent concert entertainers available today! There is good reason why the Brides set the standard, as the "highest grossing revenue" non-recording artists in Canadian Rock n' Roll history. That reason… TALENT !
