About Vaughn Suponatime:
No other Frank Sinatra impersonator pays tribute to the legend of "the chairman of the board" like Vaughn Suponatime. From the Big Band days through the Rat Pack nights, Sinatra tribute artist Vaughn Suponatime has provided corporate entertainment at special events, private parties, casinos and symphony orchestras from New York, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Beverly Hills. The only performer chosen to appear at The Sinatra Estate since Mr. S. left. Singing with his own seventeen piece band, with a smaller group or to CD tracks, as soon as Vaughn steps on stage and begins a song the audience is taken back to the days when the Sinatra songbook inspired their lives.

Vaughn has performed at corporate events across the country and at every major hotel in Las Vegas, as well as multiple appearance on “The Tonight Show”.
After successful appearances at The Frank Sinatra “Twin Palms” Estate in Palm Springs, Vaughn has been selected to sing at The Frank Sinatra Compound in Rancho Mirage – the only singer to appear there since Mr. S. left.
What makes Vaughn the most requested Sinatra singer in the country?
Not only does Vaughn bear a striking resemblance to a young Sinatra, but he brings his own brand of humor and showmanship to every performance.
This Brooklyn born performer studied acting at The New York Academy of Theatrical Arts and The Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute. While studying his craft, Vaughn developed his unique stand-up comedy act and began appearing at comedy clubs around the country. Vaughn then moved to Los Angeles and was welcomed into the improvisational comedy inner-circle as a member of “The Goundlings” and “Off The Wall”, where he worked with such notables as Phil Hartman, John Ritter and Robin Williams.
In addition to multiple “Tonight Show” appearances, “Jimmy Kimmel Show” and N.B.C.’s “Las Vegas”, Vaughn acted on many popular sitcoms, wrote for the hit series “The Golden Girls” and co-wrote several of Gallagher’s Comedy Specials for Showtime.
With a strong visual and vocal resemblance to a young Frank Sinatra, when Vaughn would improvise a love song on stage, the audience would swoon and yell out, “Frankie!” Although Vaughn was making a name for himself in comedy, one night, on a dare, Vaughn entered a singing contest at a local night club…and won! The grand Prize was a singing appearance at The Hollywood Palladium. The response was overwhelming. Soon word of the “young Sinatraesque” character spread quickly and Vaughn was suddenly in demand to perform at prestigious private parties, corporate events and for such entertainment luminaries as Danny DiVito, Hugh Hefner, Jerry Vale, Ernest Borgnine and the honorable Senator Robert Dole.
Live Performance Overview:
My Frank Sinatra Tribute is comprised of many of the "hit" songs of this iconic singer's career. Including big band hits, famous Rat Pack era tunes and the swingingest musical numbers and soleful ballads ever performed. Throughout the show there are lots of jokes because the party should still continue between the songs. My seventeen piece band can scale down to seven or eight players and will travel throughout California, Las Vegas and Arizona.
