Cuts Like A Knife are a high‑energy rock tribute band from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, delivering the timeless music of Bryan Adams with passion, precision, and raw excitement. From early ’80s anthems to career‑spanning mega‑hits, the band recreates the soundtrack of generations—featuring classics like “Summer of ’69” and many more fan favorites.

Fronted by lead singer and rhythm guitarist Dennis Wardle, Cuts Like A Knife brings an authentic voice to the music. Dennis has been performing Bryan Adams songs since the mid‑1980s and has met Bryan Adams twice over the years, most recently in 2023. A defining moment came back in 1996 when Bryan himself told Dennis,“Never stop singing.” He took that to heart—and never has.

On lead guitar and backing vocals is Kevin Strom, whose playing instantly turns heads. From the first note, Kevin’s guitar wizardry shines through, capturing the unmistakable sound and style of Keith Scott. His tone, phrasing, and note‑for‑note accuracy bring the music to life with stunning authenticity.

Grant Strom handles bass and vocals, proving that great rock starts from the ground up. His driving bass lines and powerful stage presence keep the foundation rock‑solid and the energy surging throughout every performance.

Behind the kit is John Johnstone, delivering thunderous, locked‑in drums with deep respect for the playing and legacy of Mickey Curry. His precision and power keep the band tight, dynamic, and unstoppable.

Cuts Like A Knife bring the sound, the energy, and the spirit of Bryan Adams to the stage—faithful to the original, yet alive with the fire of a great live rock band.
