About Us

Keeping Music Alive Across Atlantic Canada

For more than 52 years, I’ve lived and breathed music. I’ve been a band manager, tour manager, concert promoter, bassist, vocalist, and audio engineer.

Every step shaped my understanding of what musicians truly need on stage, and out front. South Shore Backline was created more than 15 years ago to simplify the lives of touring bands, festival operators, and theatre houses across Atlantic Canada and beyond.

We rent pro audio FOH gear, instruments, and full backline equipment to keep shows running without compromise. Whether you pick up from my shop in Milton, have it delivered, or need me to travel with you in my truck and trailer, I make it happen.

With over two decades of experience in electronics, I repair and modify a wide range of tube amplifiers, including Fender, Marshall, VOX, Gibson, Yorkville, Traynor, Yamaha, and more. My repair shop has most resistors, capacitors, and tubes in stock to ensure the sound remains authentic with failure nowhere in sight.
