Don Campbell Music

Bio:

Don Campbell is a full-time musician who has firmly established himself in the Toronto music scene. Whether fronting his high-energy band, Revolution Rock Revue, or captivating an audience with an intimate acoustic solo set, Don brings the same unwavering passion and charisma to every performance. His dynamic stage presence, soulful voice, and genre-spanning guitar work make him a standout entertainer with an undeniable ability to connect with any crowd.

A highly skilled jazz guitarist, Don is a graduate of the Humber College Jazz Guitar Program, where he had the honour of receiving his diploma from none other than the legendary Oscar Peterson. His training and versatility have allowed him to fluidly move between rock, jazz, folk, soul, and pop, and he’s just as comfortable leading a 10-piece tribute act as he is performing a solo ballad in a candlelit room.

Don is also a prolific songwriter and arranger. From his home studio, he continues to create original music, both independently and in collaboration with other artists. His creative work includes composing and arranging music for the feature film Shark City, which was showcased at the Toronto International Film Festival. His original material blends honest, reflective storytelling with sharp musicality, and he regularly releases songs that highlight his range as both a writer and performer.

In addition to his original work, Don is known for his wide-ranging repertoire of classic rock, 90s hits, R&B, Americana, and jazz standards — making him a sought-after performer for festivals, weddings, corporate events, cruise ships, and venues across Canada and beyond.

Don is the founder of Campbell Entertainment Inc., a family-run company he started with his father in 2009. The company specializes in full-service entertainment booking across the Greater Toronto Area, Canada, and beyond. From programming weekly lineups at top venues like The Pilot to coordinating North American tribute acts, DJ services, live sound, wedding entertainment, and private event bookings, Campbell Entertainment has earned a reputation for being professional, flexible, and always delivering with a warm, personal touch.

The company is also proud to support causes that matter. Don and his team have helped organize and run major fundraisers for the Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada, raising over $100,000 to date — and continuing.

Don’s flagship project, Revolution Rock Revue, performs a variety of themed shows that span decades and styles — from 50s & 60s rock ’n’ roll to 80s throwbacks, all Canadian Rock shows, 90s vs 2000s rock anthems, and even high-energy Irish rock nights. His ability to adapt the show to any crowd or event has made the group a favourite across venues and festivals.

In addition to his solo and band work, Don also leads the tribute project Unraveling the Wilburys, a heartfelt homage to the legendary supergroup The Traveling Wilburys, featuring music by George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne. With a deep love for timeless songwriting and collaborative spirit, Don brings this music to life with authenticity, fun and reverence with 7 of Toronto’s top performing musicians.

Sound and Influences:

With his extensive Jazz background and training, Don has incorporated the likes of John Scofield and Wes Montgomery into his new creative rock style that also capitalizes on the rock and blues influences of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Eric Clapton.

Don's singer/songwriter style has a Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson feel and much like Bob Dylan and Bob Marley, he has a passion for uplifting and meaningful lyrics.

All of his musical knowledge and experience, coupled with his raw talent, brings a whole new dimension to Don's feel good, laid back, progressive, CREATIVE ROCK STYLE.

The Fight Against Eating Disorders: 

Eating disorders, in its many forms, affects both men and women of all ages. Adapting an unhealthy eating pattern, as a way to deal with life's stressors, carries with it a host of mental and physical problems that unfortunately have a high mortality rate. 

I recognize through friends, family a fellow performers that the pursuit of dancing, modelling, film, music and even sports interests can contribute to the formation of body image disturbances that are not well understood, but are at the root of eating disorders.
