Toronto-based trio Now In Service is making a dynamic return to the music scene with their latest single, “Let’s Go.” The band, comprising keyboardist and vocalist Paul Kako, bassist Indrek Kanne, and drummer John Canjar, brings a fresh energy to the pop-rock genre, blending progressive rock influences with catchy pop melodies.
With a musical journey spanning 46 years, Paul Kako’s foundation in classical piano since the age of seven paved the way for his songwriting and early band performances. After a hiatus to focus on family, the pandemic reignited his passion for music, leading to the formation of Now In Service. Remarkably, the trio reunites after three decades, having previously performed together 30 years ago.
Their sound is rooted in the progressive rock traditions of bands like Genesis, Yes, Elton John, and Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Now In Service aims to create a “progressive pop vibe,” crafting lyrics with chorus hooks that linger with the audience long after the performance. Their latest release, “Let’s Go,” exemplifies this essence, combining lyrics penned 25 years ago with new instrumentation unique to their trio.
The song narrates a light-hearted tale of a protagonist who, upon winning the lottery, invites his beloved on a journey to Spain, symbolizing an ideal voyage through life together.
Now In Service has graced notable stages, including a performance at The Beaches Jazz Festival, a prominent Toronto street festival, and a recent show at the El Mocambo, a venue famed for hosting The Rolling Stones in 1979.
Their high-energy performances feature original compositions and well-known covers spanning from the 1960s to today, appealing to a wide audience across various ages. Audiences are often amazed by their rich sound, achieved without a guitar.
