I've been the "warm-up" act and traveled with a a handful of national artists sharing the big stage with thousands in the audience (ie, Grammy Award winner Bob Carlisle of "Butterfly Kisses" fame. But on a more personal note, I've had the pleasure of performing for several 90-year-old birthday celebrations with family members flying in from all over the country. Seeing the joy and love from family members are very special days and events.
My shows seem ideal for after dinner banquet shows and performance venues.
I've been performing professionally for over 20 years. I started, as most, singing with my family in church. I've had the fun of performing all across the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and even Cuba.
Like so many others, I'm a huge Sinatra fan. Michael Bublé is a big influence today.
90 minutes are typically needed for setup.
Typical shows run 60 to 90 minutes.
I perform often outside typically with cover and for evening engagements so the audience can enjoy the videos on the screen(s).
Most are more than pleased with my selections, but I'm happy to have requests.
Most describe my shows as "wonderfully entertaining, enjoyable, professional, nostalgic and fun."
Most of my shows are with my "Virtual Big Band." As I sing and entertain live, playing behind me on a big video screen(s) are terrific videos for every song. For example, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dancing, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin cameos, or scenes from favorite movies. Each video helps the music come alive and is part of the show. It's all great fun and very entertaining.
