Matt Snow, "The Cincinnati Sinatra"

About

Matt Snow is a full-time professional Entertainer and Vocalist: The longest consecutively-performing Frank Sinatra Tribute Artist around, doing his shows Live every month since June of 1971, in which he portrays a Sinatra-style character with a voice eerily similar to the Chairman of the Board himself. Who else does over 300 Sinatra Songs?!? Matt will make over 200 appearances this year, but still has a few dates available, and can perform with his Professional Sound System and Orchestral Tracks, or with a Pianist as accompaniment or with a small or large Orchestra. Matt also does songs in the sound and style of other artists such as Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Bobby Darin, Andy Williams, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Wayne Newton, etc. He has performed for Millions of people on Television, in Film, and on Radio, but mostly Live, In Person, all around the country and overseas, including a recent 5 show stint in Las Vegas Nevada at the Golden Nugget, the Tap House and the Fremont Street Experience. He was honored there by being asked to portray a Mr. Las Vegas-style figure, MC and sing at a major 4 hour event, introducing many of the world's top Celebrity Tribute Artists and Impersonators to a crowd of thousands. Matt was awarded a rating of 22.37 out of a possible 25 by a select panel of talent and promotion experts, who made these comments:
1. Medley of top 3 was great! Good solid performance!
2. His enthusiasm and energy really is quite refreshing - he really sold the last song!
3. Great movement on stage! Wonderful performance.
4. You have lots of talent. Good solid performance.
5. Sings well! Sounds like and looks like Wayne Newton.
Matt loves to entertain, has done many thousands of live events, including charitable appearances where untold thousands of dollars were raised for good causes, and he is sincere in his efforts to keep the Great American Songbook alive and well for the next generations. He can also provide valuable insight into the planning of any type of function if needed.
Please give him your consideration for your next event. Thank you.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 300 minutes

Matt Snow has been performing to live audiences since 1971 in the style and manner of Frank Sinatra. He is adept at getting audience participation and interaction with people from all age groups and demographics, and has a very high repeat among his regular customers for that reason. When he sings a happy song there is elation in the room, and if he does a love song the couples in the room are stirred to hold hands. When he does a big number folks are stirred with inspiration, and when he does his sad saloon, or drunk, songs, man, you are gloomy too. In short, Matt can move people with his phrasing, bending of the notes, and his impeccable dynamics, so you feel the emotion behind the song. Matt does what he can to keep the Great American Songbook of Standards alive and well for the next generation, and he does it with class, finesse and good taste.
