Physical Characteristics

Meet the Act

Hello!
Thank you for your interest in having me perform for your next event. I have been entertaining professionally since 2005 and offer a first-class show of fun variety from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond! Performing is my biggest passion, and I would love to help make your next event a memorable one! I got into singing at a young age. My dad was a radio announcer all of his life, and I spent a lot of time listening to him. He also was my booking agent when I first started out. My grandparents were always playing music in the house, and I quickly got into listening to all the grea ... t singers and bands of the 50s and 60s. When I'm not traveling and performing, I enjoy spending time hiking in nature, visiting family and friends, bowling, cooking, visting a museum, or watching a good movie. Read More
