• For locations outside the City of Toronto, Pete may reach out about an additional travel fee

1. Do you perform outside of the GTA? Yes, and I charge an additional travel fee based on distance.

2. Do you take song requests? Yes, I'm happy to take on one song I don't know, and if I already know it I'm happy to take on more!

3. Do your performances include Pete Moss originals? Depending on the group and age, I usually do some original songs that are adapted to be fun and engaging for first time (or veteran!) listeners.

4. What are some classic children's songs you typically perform? After almost 15 years of working professionally with kids and recently becoming a parent, I have learned a lot of children's songs! Song choices depend on the age group, ranging from infant and toddler favourites ("Zoom, Zoom, Zoom", "The Wheels on the Bus", "Roly Poly", "Sleeping Bunnies") to school aged favourites ("Down by the Bay", "The Green Grass Grows All Around") and so many more!

5. How do I determine if my space requires amplification? Check out the “Package” section for a general guide and if you want to chat it out feel free to e-mail Pete at pdemakos [at] gmail.com

6. Do you require a power source to perform an amplified show? A power source is great if it exists, but a portable generator can be brought if it doesn’t.
