CroonerEd

My "Crooner Hits" shows are filled with chart-topping hits made famous by greats like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, and today’s Michael Bublé. They feature songs most everyone knows - the ones that bring smiles to faces and get toes to tapping.

My solo shows feature my "Virtual Big Band" -- and incredible mix of recorded music and video by professional musicians...who haven't missed a note in 20 years. As I sing and entertain live, playing behind me in harmony with the music are terrific mixes of movie clips from favorite "old" movies, amazing dancing from the likes of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and even appearances from the original artists. The fun sing-alongs are always a huge hit and get people up and dancing and singing along. It's all great fun, creative, and very engaging.

--My typical shows go for 60 to 90 minutes, however, each show is tailor made to fit your needs. For longer shows I usually take 10 to 15 minute breaks for each hour of entertainment.
--I have several different video screens to fit different venues. I ask for 10' or more of space for the video screen, but have squeezed into smaller spaces. When possible, I'm happy to use in-house video screens.
--I bring all my required audio and visual equipment. When appropriate, I'm happy to use quality in-house equipment. For my equipment, I require electrical power to the performance stage/area.
--I like to arrive at least 90 minutes prior to start time to get set up. Break-down is usually faster.
--A changing room is much appreciated as I am often my own roadie.

Your payment to GigSalad makes everything official, including my required 30% deposit. GigSalad holds your payment balance in an escrow account until after your event. GigSalad takes care of all the financial details providing you a level of comfort and protection for your entertainment investment. I typically do not send official quotes until after we have communicated and I can learn more about your plans and how I would fit in.

I love to entertain and hope I'm a great fit for your event. I look forward to hearing from you.
