Calgary's Award-Winning Live Event Band
Wake Up Starlight is not your average cover band. We are Calgary’s premier live entertainment group — a powerhouse trio of career musicians who have spent over 15 years perfecting the art of packing dance floors and creating unforgettable event experiences across Western Canada.
Founded in Calgary, the band has grown from local pub shows into one of the most sought-after live acts in the Canadian event entertainment industry. With a GMA (Gospel Music Association) Award, Billboard Top 40 chart success, and a client list that includes some of the most prestigious venues and corporations in the country, Wake Up Starlight brings a level of musicianship and professionalism that sets us apart from every other band for hire in the market.
While most cover bands are weekend hobbyists, Wake Up Starlight is made up of full-time musicians who have dedicated their lives to performing. That difference shows up in every note we play, every crowd we read, and every event we elevate. Our chemistry on stage has been forged through thousands of performances — from intimate backyard gatherings to main-stage festival sets for thousands of fans.
We have performed at corporate galas for Fortune 500 companies, high-energy Stampede afterparties, packed house parties, community festivals, holiday celebrations, and everything in between. Notable clients include the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel, Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Grey Eagle Casino, Monsanto, Visions Electronics, and Engineered Air.
Wake Up Starlight covers an enormous range of genres — from classic rock and country to modern pop, R&B, funk, and dance hits spanning every decade from the 1960s to today. Every setlist is fully customizable to your event, and we pride ourselves on reading the room and adapting our energy to match the moment. Whether you need a sophisticated background set during cocktail hour or a high-octane dance party that keeps the floor packed until the lights come on, we deliver.
In partnership with Fermi Audio Visual, we provide concert-quality sound and lighting scaled to any venue size — from a backyard for 40 guests to the BMO Centre for 500+.
The frontman and driving force behind Wake Up Starlight, Caleb brings infectious energy, powerful vocals, and a natural ability to connect with any audience. With post-secondary music education and years of touring across North America, Caleb has performed in every setting imaginable — from stadium stages to living rooms — and brings the same passion to every single show.
A multi-instrumentalist with exceptional versatility, Chris anchors the band’s sound with everything from driving drum grooves to elegant piano arrangements. His ability to switch between instruments mid-set gives Wake Up Starlight a sonic range that belies its three-piece format. Chris’s studio and touring background brings a polished, professional edge to every performance.
David’s rich vocals and rock-solid bass lines form the backbone of the Wake Up Starlight sound. A gifted singer and accomplished bassist, David brings warmth, depth, and musical intelligence to every arrangement. His harmonies with Caleb create a vocal blend that audiences consistently praise as one of the band’s most distinctive qualities.
Wake Up Starlight has earned recognition at the highest levels of the music industry, including a GMA Award and a Billboard Top 40 chart placement. Beyond industry accolades, the band has built its reputation on thousands of five-star client reviews and word-of-mouth referrals from event planners, corporate coordinators, and private clients across Alberta and British Columbia.
