Overview
Singing the standards, creating moods - Frank, Dean, Sammy, Bobby, Perry, Andy - with an occasional reach into the contemporary - Neil Diamond, Jim Croce, Michael Buble, etc. Smooth and classy, swinging and hip, always adding calm swagger to your event. Using a repertoire of over 450 songs, I design each set to match your needs - soft romantic background music or upbeat swinging danceable selections to get the crowd on the floor. Let me create a wine and caviar mood to compliment your next event.

Chad is an exceptional performer! He performed at my rehearsal dinner which was a James Bond themed event. I let him know that everyone would be dressing the part and he showed up early and even dressed the part! His talent is unmatched and truly made the experience a night to remember! I will definitely be booking him again for future events! We had a few speeches given and he so kindly let us use his equipment. He really interacted with my guest and just made it a beautiful experience. Can’t thank him enough!!

Chad's voice was magical as he sang the hits of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin for our Italian Dinner. We had standing room only as folks poured to hear him sing!! He's a real crowd pleaser and everyone experienced time travel as he brought theses famous voices back to life.
He was very accommodating and patient with us as we worked at the details of our venue and our event date. Thanks Chad!

Chad was the perfect professional performer for our ladies event.
He charmed all present, and gave us a polished set with all the stops pulled out.
Many of the attendees gave me excellent feedback, and were so complimentary of Chad and his music.
Thank you Chad for really delivering a smooth groove.

He was the best! Everyone talked about how good he was and that if they didn't know he was singing they would have thought it was the radio. Highly recommend!!!

Chad was not only an amazing singer and entertainer, he was a world-class professional. Wonderful communications beforehand and great planning made the whole event easy and so fun!! He’s SO good that you forget he’s actually singing and not DJing the real artists.

You are so kind, Vickie. Your event was wonderfully planned and executed. Great sound system, awesome people - I’d happily come back anytime.
Chad has been the entertainer for several corporate events I have attended at Eli Lilly and his music perfectly compliments the mood in the room. His sophisticated style and class bring an upscale ambiance to the evening and puts elegance in the air.

What to Expect
My goal is always to satisfy my client and make the audience happy. I make every attempt to cater my musical selections and create a mood to fit the event. I can be the main event or I can be the subtle feeling in the air while people mingle. I always dress the part, act the part, and try to leave a positive feeling in anyone who hears me.
About
I'm a lifelong central Indiana resident living my dream of making people happy with music. I spent 10 years in the company chorus, sang with the Hendricks County Symphonic Chorus, and have been singing solo shows for many years.
Additional Booking Notes
My setup has a small footprint and doesn't require much space. I can set up in a corner and stay out of the way, take the stage and own it, or walk through the crowd and make connections.

Set List
My repertoire is over 450 songs and I can go from soft romantic background music to upbeat swinging dance-able selections when it’s time for the party to kick. A majority of my music is from Sinatra, Dean Martin, and the like, but I also reach into more contemporary artists like Neil Diamond, Jim Croce, Michael Buble, etc. I encourage you to check my website for a full listing of my repertoire as it expands over time.
Some examples are below.
Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon, Theme From "New York, New York", My Way, My Funny Valentine, I'll Be Seeing You, I've Got You Under My Skin, I've Got The World On The String
Dean Martin - Everybody Love Somebody, You're Nobody 'Till Somebody Loves You, That's Amore, Sway, Volare
Sammy Davis Jr - I Gotta Be Me, Something's Gotta Give
Bobby Darrin - Mack The Knife, Somewhere Beyond The Sea, The Party's Over
Contemporary songs - Daughters (John Mayer), All Of Me (John Leggend), Sweet Caroline, Forever in Blue Jeans (Neil Diamond), I Got A Name (Jim Croce), Isn't She Lovely? (Stevie Wonder), Just The Way You Are, She's Got A Way (Billy Joel)
Influences & Inspiration
I study Frank Sinatra in every aspect - voice, phrasing, passion, tone, stage presence - and do my best to honor his immeasurable legacy. I'm also inspired by other standards singers like Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr, Perry Como, Bobby Darin, as well as contemporary artists like Michael Buble, Neil Diamond, and others.
