Speed Control
In the heady atmosphere of the University of Toronto’s Jazz Performance Program, Graeme Peters joined forces with Spencer Cole combining their love of rhythm and energy to create the fundamental chemistry that is Speed Control. With the added solid power of Jody Peters on bass, the group uses their knowledge of music, stemming from their childhood to the present, to rock so hard with such determination that their songs will inevitably make you jump up and dance.
Speed Control’s school and community performance, From Rags to Rock, showcases the evolution of rock music from 1898 to the present in a romp through the history of popular music. From the Mills Brothers and Johnny Cash to ACDC and Graeme Peters originals, Speed Control delivers all tunes with vibrant onstage energy filled with humour, emotion, and spirit.
Speed Control offers 3-5 day rock camps that include public performance opportunities for all participants. The focus is skill building, on stage and in rehearsal, with sessions for beginners (Rock on Stage) to coaching for existing bands (Rock Harder, Rock Smarter). There is also a session for adults (Release Your Inner Rocker).
“Everyone involved agreed that it was a great event! So great that we want to do it again next summer.”
