When you hire Les Marple to sing at your next event or function, one of the first things you'll notice is that he is a true professional in the all important areas of appearance, audience rapport, and, of course, vocal "chops". He has years of performance experience, and is comfortable in ANY performance situation. For example, if your event calls for making a smooth transition from dinner and cocktail music, to more upbeat dance music, he'll make that transition seamlessly and effortlessly, and you'll be amazed at the "top notch" vocal quality that Les possesses with ANY style of music.
Because Les normally sings to computer based, fully orchestrated, professional music tracks, he can keep the cost to you very affordable. However, if the occasion calls for a live band, he also performs with a three or four piece combo, specializing in Jazz, Standards, Beach, R&B and Love Songs. He has a vast repertoire of over 1000 songs, allowing him to take audience requests from from virtually ANY musical genre!
The day of the engagement, Les will arrive EARLY to set up, will start the performance ON TIME, and will take his cue from you, regarding desired musical style and theme, as well as the volume level of the music.
Les Marple is going to work VERY hard to make sure you are VERY glad you hired him to perform at your next event or function. That's a promise!
