FRONT PAIGE ARMSTRONG
Other Projects
This page is dedicated to the incredible bands and artists I’m proud to perform with, including Legends of Motown, Shakura S'Aida, Blackburn Brothers, Newworldson, and The Thuds. Outside of performing solo shows and with my trio band Front Paige, these projects allow me to explore a wide range of musical styles and collaborate with some truly inspiring musicians. Each band brings its own unique energy, sound, and experience, and I’m grateful to share the stage with such talented artists and friends.
Since 2014, I’ve had the privilege of performing as the guitarist for Shakura S'aida, sharing stages across festivals, theatres, and venues with one of Canada’s most powerful blues voices. Over the years, our musical connection has grown through countless live performances, bringing together soulful grooves, blues energy, and a deep love of live music.
Thuds
The Thuds is a brand new musical project bringing together different generations of musicians from Niagara Falls to create a fresh analogue funk sound rooted in groove, soul, and live energy. Featuring Nichole Cerminara, Myles Rogers, Mark Rogers, and myself, the band blends vintage influences with a modern feel, focused on authentic musicianship, deep rhythms, and the spirit of classic live recordings.
Since 2017, I’ve been the guitarist for Toronto’s Legends of Motown, bringing the timeless music of Motown to audiences across Canada and beyond. Performing the classic hits of artists like The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and The Supremes, the show captures the energy, soul, and unforgettable sound of one of music’s greatest eras. It has been an incredible experience sharing the stage with talented musicians while helping keep this legendary music alive for new generations.
Since 2024, I’ve been performing as the second guitarist with the Blackburn Brothers, contributing to their powerful blend of blues, soul, and roots music. I was also featured on their latest album, playing lead guitar on the track “Let the Devil Play,” an exciting opportunity to be part of the band’s continuing musical legacy.
In 2025, I joined Newworldson as the band’s guitarist, stepping into a group known for its powerful blend of gospel, funk, soul, and rock. It’s been an exciting new chapter, performing alongside incredible musicians and becoming part of a band with such a strong musical legacy and uplifting live energy.
