When you book Almost Manilow!, you can expect a professional re-creation of the Barry Manilow concert experience. Charlie dresses, emulates and resembles Barry, with custom made costumes and professional head dressing - but the show is more than just an impersonation. A lot of what makes a Manilow concert so special is his rapport with his audience, his interesting stories and his classic showmanship. Charlie taps into that feeling; he talks about Barry's life, sets up the songs with interesting trivia, plays obscure tapes/video, and of course sings all the hit songs that we all know and love!
The Almost Manilow! show features Charlie with a white baby grand piano shell and several costume changes every show.
Almost Manilow! features a fully rehearsed band of top musicians with professional dancers, enhanced with prerecorded orchestrations so the lush arrangements of the songs come through in true form. It is a full Vegas style show. But this show is also scalable....you can have different versions ....a duo, quartet or any configuration that works for your budget.
Barry Manilow is the leading adult contemporary artist of all time and his appeal transcends age and gender. Currently, there is no one doing a tribute full time, and as professionally as this show. This act is absolutely unique!
Book today for a professional and unique Barry Manilow experience!
Almost Manilow! performs throughout the state of Florida at all the best "tribute" venues, county clubs, peforming arts centers, vacation destinations, etc. The band is scalable - we recommend the full 7 peice band including professional dancers and the top musicians in the south, for the true Manilow concert experience. If your budget is limited he can also perform the show solo with an accompanyist.
This is his passion, he does not perform as anyone other than Manilow. This is as close as it gets to a real Manilow show.
About Charlie Vee…
Vee is a talented vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who has been performing throughout his entire life. Born in New York, his musical career began singing in dinner theaters throughout the tri-state area. As the group's popularity grew, he took the act out on the road and toured the U.S. with the Vegas show band called The Hitts for over five consecutive years, including a three week engagement in Saudi Arabia.
Relocating once again to New York, he joined the acclaimed cover band Fullhouse for over 12 years, building his reputation as a powerful and versatile vocalist/drummer. Charlie later led his own group for several years before joining the legendary Alice Cooper on drums for several television appearances in London, including Top of the Pops.
Charlie moved to South Florida in 2002 and has been performing regularly in the casinos as a freelance vocalist. He also performed throughout the Southeastern U.S. with some of the top tribute bands in the area.
Performing the music of Barry Manilow is a lifelong dream realized. Charlie is honored and feels privileged to be able to recreate the beautiful music of his hero for the legions of Barry Manilow fans across the U.S.
