Brought to you by the same musicians from Canada's premier Rolling Stones Tribute - STICKY FINGERS ... "Posing Til Closing" delivers Vancouver's most entertaining live show.
Together since 2008, STICKY FINGERS / Posing Til Closing is a professional touring band, performing at corporate events, festivals and parties with audiences from 40 - 4,000. We've spent literally hundreds of studio hours creating material that engages the audience... getting everyone dancing, singing and simply having an awesome time. We can rock your event as a cover/party band, as STICKY FINGERS, or start as PTC and headline as SF. You choose!
80% of our shows are repeat gigs & referrals.

The band was very professional. The performance was amazing. It made the event came alive. The music was well suited for the event.
Posing til Closing played in our backyard for a special event to a diverse group ranging in age 40 to 75 years old. Everyone commented on how great they were including one guest who played in his own band. They were very considerate and easy to work with in advance planning and arrived early for set up. From a technical standpoint the volume and clarity was perfect, in fact we got a text from a neighbour saying how much they enjoyed the music. Stuart is a very engaging singer and his band mates were also great! They made the evening very special and had everyone dancing almost from the beginning, lots of fun!
We hired Posing Til Closing to perform a 'Summer Social' Member event at the Squamish Valley Golf Club after hearing them play at a private event at the Club a few weeks earlier. They were awesome and were a perfect fit for the event with a lively and interactive performance. Stuart was really easy to deal with and setup, sound check and tear down went very smoothly. Money well spent ! Would recommend to anyone looking to hire an engaging and fun band for their wedding, party etc.
Response from The Posing Til Closing Party Band:
Hi Scott, thanks for bringing us back to your club... what a beautiful setting to be outside this time! We're delighted to hear the members enjoyed the music. It was also great to catch up with the family who'd booked us to play their anniversary party previously. Thanks for being so easy to work with. Best wishes Stuart, Allan, Brian, Matt.
Thank you guys so much, my family and myself especially had an amazing time...you fellas absolutely helped create a fantastic evening...everyone raved about your performance. Love the audience participation aswell.
I'm super pumped that you guys will be at the golf club again...my parents will be there and i will definitely come down for the show.
Thanks again to all of you!
P.S Your playlist was awsome!
Response from The Posing Til Closing Party Band:
Hi Jason - thanks for booking us to help you all celebrate... we had a blast!! Audience participation is our specialty!! Referrals account for the majority of our engagements, so a big thank you from us to you for referring us to Scott and the executive team at SVGC. Much appreciated! Over 15 years our play-list is approaching 100 hits... so very pleasing to hear we hit the bullseye for all your different generations! Best regards, Stuart, Allan, Brian & Matt
Excellent band! Made our party! Super easy to coordinate with, very flexible.
Response from The Posing Til Closing Party Band:
Hi Amy, we were honored to help you celebrate your parents anniversary. You have a great fun family! It was great to see everyone dancing, young and old! Warmest wishes, Stuart, Allan, Brian, Matt
We're so grateful that these guys played our party. Their energy was contagious, their sets were packed with well-loved songs, and planning was easy because they thought of all the details. I was especially impressed with the technical skill of the guitarist and hand percussion. It's not every band that can pull off Santana, Dire Straits and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Rock on, guys!
Response from The Posing Til Closing Party Band:
Jamie, On behalf of PTC, thanks for being such a great organizer and for your kind comments. We're delighted you and your guests had such a great time and I hope your parents enjoyed their anniversary as much as we enjoyed playing. We loved to see so many people dancing (note for anyone reading this - they were all "Covid distanced" in groups)! Also, thanks for the shout-out to our players... please keep an eye on FB for our upcoming Rolling Stones and Santana Tribute shows ("Sticky Fingers" and "Amigos Vancouver") where we'll be showcasing even more of Brian's guitar wizardry! :-)

With Posing Til Closing you can expect a professional experience from start to finish - as you'd expect from a band that has been playing together for 14+ years.
We start by spending time with you well in advance to understand your event; your venue, your audience and any logistics required to make the event a smooth-running success that everyone raves about afterwards. If you don't have Stage lights or a PA don't worry! We are equipped to bring everything required for your show - whether it is an intimate house party or a large outdoor event.
With Posing Til Closing - the live show is one less thing to worry about!
Brian (Guitars) and Stuart (Vocals and Percussion) met in 2004 playing in a corporate band that traveled across the country and was winner of "Corporate Battle of the Bands". Together with Allan they formed "Posing Til Closing" in 2008.
Posing Til Closing and Community Giving
Giving back to our local communities is integral to our band’s philosophy. Every year we donate our time and energy to support six fundraising events for major charities and not-for-profits. Over the years we have supported many great causes including Canadian Cancer Society, Delta School Board, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Easter Seals, Canadian Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue, Downtown East Side Food-Bank and the BMO Vancouver Marathon - with audiences from a few hundred to several thousand. Our Movember fundraiser, sponsored each year by Davidson & Co Chartered Accountants ,is now in it's 6th year.
Who's in the band?
Stuart Turnbull - Vocals and Percussion
Stuart started drumming at age 9 and was performing by age 12. He switched to hand percussion and vocals in the early 90's, training with the late Boying Geronimo, founder of Vancouver's top latin band Rumba Calzada. Career highlights include playing with the Juno award winning Powder Blues Band at the 2002 PNE, opening for the Great Big Sea and winning the Corporate Battle of the Bands as a member of the TELUS WebTones. Stuart plays Roland RD88 Keyboard, Gon-Bop Conga's, LP Timbales, LP Bongo's and Zildjan cymbals.
Brian Meadows - Electric, Acoustic, Spanish guitars. Banjo.
Brian and Stuart met and played together for 5 years in the TELUS WebTones prior to forming PTC. When he's not playing with PTC you'll find Brian lighting up the stage with the popular Led Zeppelin tribute band "The Ocean". He has a collection of guitars - Stratocaster(s), Telecaster, Gibson Les Paul, Martin acoustic...
Matt Paven - Drums
A former touring professional and currently one of the most sought after drummers in Vancouver, Matt brings energy and stage presence to every show. Matt owns 8 drum kits from Ayotte, Gretch and Ludwig.
Allan Nakatsu - Bass Guitar
Allan helped form the band in 2008 and hasn't looked back since! Rock solid on bass and tightly locked-in with Matt, the duo form the perfect rhythm section foundation for the band.
For most smaller gigs (250 attendees or less) we are self-sufficient. Our state-of-the-art PA provides exceptionally clear sound reinforcement.
For larger gigs, and those with unique sound or visual requirements we can provide your operations team a comprehensive stage plot which details our requirements. We've played gigs from 100 to 2,000+, indoors and outdoors (including an atmospheric river at an event in Stanley Park), and so we have the experience to navigate through any unexpected wrinkles that may arise.
