Donnie & The Monarchs
Donnie and The Monarchs is a Saint John, New Brunswick based band that has delivered a constant stream of classic Rock ‘n Roll across Eastern Canada and into the US for the past four decades.
The Monarchs have worked with legendary performers that include opening for The Beach Boys, performing with Tiny Tim, Freddy Cannon, Dr. Hook, Bobby Day, Tommy Roe, The Coasters, Michelle Wright, Tommy Hunter, John Allen Cameron, and the Rankin Family, to name a few.
