Chris Weeks

Description

My act consists of classic swing songs, both Rat Pack songs and more recent artists such as Michael Buble, as well as pop tunes rearranged into the swing style, such as those by Paul Anka on 'Rock Swings' and many Postmodern Jukebox songs.
I sing and sell these songs, interact with the audience in a light, entertaining way (flirting with the ladies, teasing the men) and try to bring the feeling of those classic Vegas Rat Pack shows to every event - a relaxed and informal feel but with the absolute quality that comes from a tight, well-rehearsed show.
