Thank you Chris!
They played at our Gatsby themed holiday party and totally rocked it in every way. We will definitely be reaching out to them to play again for us. We started the evening with smooth jazz during our dining and then ended the eve with Rock and Roll dance music. LOVED THEM! If you are looking for a band that has diversity, these guys are it! We even begged them to stay a little longer than we had asked for.

Craig Singleton was a great choice for our St Paddy's street dance. Not only did he play a repertoire of the '60s and up, but he also had some great Irish and line-dancing music that kept everyone on their feet. We'll definitely look him up again!

99% of our crowd really liked Craig. Unfortunately for us we had to deal with the Coronavirus hype! This event was the last permitted in the park therefore our numbers were down a bit. On the up side we will see Craig back in our park next season for another event. It was a two man band that was provided for our event.
One Man Band
Music was good; however, it took him 2 hours and 15 minutes to pack up his equipment and leave. Our other bands took 20 to 30 minutes. I will specify a different band on our next trip to Tampa.

They were very flexible and accommodating to our group

From what I am hearing, Larry was a very nice person and he did play his music. The only negative was he did not interact with the crowd.

1920s Era Entertainment
Craig did a great job playing softer music during dinner and then getting people up and dancing later. We may ask him to entertain us at our annual Christmas party, as he was so popular. Our community is mostly "mature," and he played to our audience but I'm sure he is versatile and would be excellent for younger audiences as well.The acoustics in our club house are challenging and bands can be too loud but he was just right.As a true professional , he judged the sound level correctly.

Craig performed for my mother"s 90th birthday party and was great. He picked music age appropriate and sounded fabulous. His songs sounded like the oiginal artists songs, I could not tell the difference. He was prompt and played even after the guests had left. His price was very competitive and I would not hesitate to rebook him for a special event anhd I highly reccommend him!

The National Convention of the National Convention of the Blind is an annual event, which has taken place in American cities in many states. The event draws from two to three thousand or more blind people from all over the world, as well as many sighted people interested in improving the lives of the blind.
The 2014 NFB Convention was scheduled to take place in July, in Orlando. As president of the Florida Affiliate, it was my responsibility to arrange entertainment for convention's Opening Ceremonies, which took place on July 4, at about 9:50 AM. I wanted to do something which would be different from what had been done in the past. I also wanted to do something that would reference the State of Florida. And, most important of all, I wanted to do something that would be amazing -- something that would entertain and uplift the audience, to set the tone of the convention.
After reading reviews and talking to knowledgeable friends, I decided to see if we could book Craig Singleton and the Big City Band.
I was able to talk to Craig the same day. I told him that I needed a band to perform for about 20 minutes. I asked him if they could perform covers of four Florida-associated bands and musicians: Matchbox 20, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, K C and the Sunshine Band, and Jimmy Buffett. He assured me it would be no problem. In a subsequent conversation, he suggested we add a Gloria Estafan tune. I said, as long as it would not go over the time limit, that would be great. He later suggested adding "Key Largo," a one-hit-wonder by Tampa performer Bertie Higgins. Again, I said that would be ideal, as long as the time limit would be met. He said they could do it.
The band arrived up nearly two before this morning performance. They set up and did multiple sound- and equipment-checks, and were ready to go by the time the convention started.
The performance was everything we could have hoped for. Craig and the band rocked the house! The audience members were dancing in the aisles and singing and clapping along!
My only regret was that we had to hold Craig and the band to that 20-minute time limit. I think they could have kept the audience revved up and partying for hours. We definitely left them wanting more.
Regardless of your situation or whatever you might need a band for, I urge you to give careful consideration to Craig Singleton and the Big City Band! They were just what we had in mind and so much more!

Craig and his female vocalist entertained our group with a great mix of classic oldies, Latino, and country music. In response to their engaging personalities and musical talents the audience thoroughly enjoyed the event.
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music, Country Band, Singing Pianist
Craig was full of energy from the moment he got to our club. Very professional, yet at ease enough to get the crowd going. The best enter train meant we have ever had at the F.O.E.. We WILL have him back.
1960s Era Entertainment, 1970s Era Entertainment, 1980s Era Entertainment, Beach Music, Oldies Music, Singing Pianist, Top 40 Band
Craig was early, set up quietly and professional.
I had an excellent experience and will highly recommend him.
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music
Craig played a show for a resident's birthday party at the Skilled Nursing Facility in which I am the Activities Director. The party was a grand as the word can be....but Craig Singleton MADE THE PARTY! Residents had nothing but the best things to say about his music choice, performance, personality....the list goes on and on!
If you are looking for a performance that will really "make an impression", I would VERY MUCH suggest seeking Craig Singleton. HIs agent, Phoebe, is just as diligent in organizing his performance, and, again, his show will MORE than impress anyone.
Beach Music, Country Band, Oldies Music
Craig stepped in at the last minute to provide "island" music for our luau. He was personable and very entertaining. His piano skills are fantastic. Our patrons really enjoyed the show.
Beach Music, Caribbean/Island Music
Craig was fantastic. He got the crowd moving and was enjoyed by all. His incredible assortment of music definitely makes him worth it.

Additional Booking Notes
My gear is state of the art, and it does matter. Quality of gear, musical instruments, microphones, cables etc., does effect your sound on stage and the impact it has on the audience. I use the state of the art Tyros 4 keyboard by Yamaha as my primary sound source and I perform live. No mp3 tracks sounding like an AM radio at my show. No radio shack players or stolen music either. Only legal high quality professionally composed midi files perfected for my show! No kidding, the quality is unsurpassed. If you don't believe me, listen to my demos. That's my 'One Man Show' you're listening to. Just me and my keyboard in most cases! It's amazing the sound I can get today with this gear, and I love it.
Services Offered
Set List
I create my set list while performing live. I have extensive experience choosing just the right song for the moment, as I read the audience. I also take request. This process keeps my show connected to my audience as the show progresses. And even if I play the same venue night after night, I will perform different songs in a different order, depending on the audience. I keep it fresh at all times, perfect for repeat performances. And because I have thousands of songs to choose from it never gets old!
However, if a venue or client has a particular theme for the show, that's great! I do a lot of theme shows ranging from the Flapper days of the 1920's to Disco, Blues, Country, Jazz, Rat Pack, Hawaiian, Halloween, Christmas, you name it, I can do it!
For an extensive song list, please go to my web site
Influences & Inspiration
Many great musicians and composers have influenced me from the Renaissance to today's Top 40. Great music comes in all styles, genres and sounds! I work to learn from all of them.
Setup Requirements
I only require electricity. No other additional items are reqired. I am fully self contained.
