MARSHA LAWSON

Description

If you’re looking for a new act with polished shows and amazing, well-rounded talent, then look no further! My name is Marsha Lawson and I am a headline vocalist and entertainer based in West Palm Beach, Florida! With 20 years of experience under my belt as a vocalist and entertainer I know that I can bring audiences to their feet with my knockout shows! Here’s a look at what I bring to the table:
MY OVERVIEW
I am a vocal entertainer with 45-minute shows/sets that cover an incredible variety of styles and genres. I also have two 15-20 minute teaser shows. All of my shows are tailor ... ed for audiences that are highly diverse, much like you would find on a cruise ship or town festival, so they include music from almost every decade of the the 20th century to today. Each show has charts for an 8-piece orchestra, but they can be done with less if necessary.
NEED A SINGER FOR YOUR PARTY?
When it comes to special events, I've got your COVERED! I am available as a solo vocalist with backing tracks, or can put together a duo, trio, small rhythm band of keys, bass, drums and guitar or even a full band with horns! You want your party to rock? I'll get the party going with all of the songs your guests enjoy! Need a smooth, lightly energetic vibe for your cocktail hour? I'll croon the best hits of yesterday and today. I am able to tailor my talents to whatever you need.
WHAT’S IN MY HEADLINE SHOWS?
My first show caters to the Luxury demographic (pre-retirement to post-post retirement), so they include a variety from the Sinatra Standards to Classic Rock, Country, Disco, and R&B. I throw in a bit of 80’s Pop too!
My next two shows cater to the Contemporary demographic (young adults, families, workaholics and pre-retirement / retired guests) who enjoy more modern music, so I start with Motown and get down with Disco, Pop, Rock and current Top 40’s Hits! I’m excited even just writing this!

Biography

With 20 years of professional performance experience I’ve covered the most magnetic music from the Great American Songbook to current Top 40 Hits. Starting out as a Musical Theater major at the University of the Arts, I studied Broadway shows from classic to contemporary. Once I grabbed my newly minted Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, I started working on cruise ships as a production vocalist with Disney, Cunard, Azamara, Celebrity, and Carnival. In between cruise contracts I worked on land doing several musicals in theaters across the U.S., the most notable being the 1st National Tour of Li ... ttle Shop of Horrors.
I also spent four years as a Lead Vocalist in a corporate wedding band called ‘The Jerry Bruno Orchestra.’ This experience gave me an incredible repertoire to draw from including Top 40’s hits, 80’s, Pop, Rock, Motown, Country and Jazz Standards. Working with bands also gave me experience in speaking to live audiences with confidence and clarity. Unlike theater, where everything is scripted, I’ve gotten used to interacting with my audiences with candor, comedy and creativity.
Now as an international performer and powerhouse vocalist, I bring a fantastic array of your all-time favorite hits! My shows will lift you up and put you in a sentimental mood. Rocking you with hits from Motown, Rhythm & Blues, Disco, you'll be bouncing in your seats with high energy entertainment. Get ready for a knockout show! Read More
