Stellar Performance!

I has the pleasure of working with Michael and his band at our annual charity gala last week. The performance was incredible! I couldn't be happier with their service from start to finish. I highly recommend their service!

Matone Delivers!

"Nobody delivered a song like Frank Sinatra, and Las Vegas-style entertainer Michael Matone delivered them all with pizazz and style backed by a smoking hot live Jazz Ensemble! If you love the great crooners of Las Vegas and the wild cool and swingin' sounds of Frank Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin and more - this is a show you won't want to miss!" - Mark Curran, L. A.

Michael Matone Jazz Man

" At the Fountainebleau Hotel in Miami Bch on Dec. 12, Frank Sinatra’s birthday, the Brown-Forman Corp. held a special VIP event honoring both Frank Sinatra and its premier product, Jack Daniels. Michael sang to the crowd’s delight and was obviously just the right Sinatra tribute artist for the occasion. Well over 20 songs and standing ovations, everyone was thrilled by the honor he paid to both Sinatra and Jack Daniels. Quality singing, humorous banter and well-chosen words from a most professional entertainer made this the most memorable of evenings. A class act."

An honor to be chosen by the Brown-Forman Corp. at the original site of many a Sinatra and 'Rat Pack' event; and to tribute Jack Daniels too ! It was delizioso !

Michael Matone was wonderful!

We booked Michael Matone for our one big event of the year honoring our senior (55+) volunteers. Michael was wonderful! He crooned all their old favorites, Sinatra, Dean Martin, etc. He was so engaging as he serenaded our guests and inspired people to get out on the dance floor. In his tux, with his cigar prop and warm, professional performance, Michael brought style and a bit of Vegas to South Florida. The enthusiasm for his show was universal we received many requests to “Please bring Michael back next year!”

A Truly Great Pallie!!!

Michael and I (as Dino!) recently collaborated on a couple of great events in the Jacksonville, FL area. His tremendous experience as "Frank" made our work together truly a fun-filled evening. The audience adored him!!! You can really get that "rat pack" feel, when taking the stage with Michael, which spreads the fun to every corner of the room! Don't hesitate to consider Michael Matone, as he is a class act!!!

Testimonials

The Mizner Park Amphitheater in Boca Raton was filled to capacity with Matone's Rat Pack the feature. This was a show to be remembered with standing ovations and a requested encore. The musicians excellent and Michael clearly the crowd favorite as he mesmorized them with smooth yet lively tunes. Terrific overall performances by all and lots of fun to say the least!

– Eduardo Macadar - Boca Raton, FL

Michael did a fantastic job impersonating Frank Sinatra and got us all up and dancing to tunes we haven't heard sung so well as "Old Blue Eyes" himself. If you closed your eyes while you were dancing, you thought Frank was up on stage. What a wonderful event we all had at the magnificent Trump Mar-A-Lago Resort in Palm Bch.

– Bart Caso, Save-a-Pet

Mr. Matone worked with us in elaborating the mood we wanted to create for our wedding. It turned out to be elegant, classy, with an air of old fashion grandeur. Our worry was the younger guests at our wedding, but Mr. Matone balanced the repertoire in a way that everyone enjoyed dancing all night long, no matter what age. We are still hearing friends and family saying they had never expected such excellent music.We are very grateful and pleased!

– Mercedes Carvajal, Diplomat CC

“Michael Matone was nothing short of spectacular!!! His performance was second to none, he took my breath away. My grandmother cried and said it was the best birthday she had in her 88 years. Even my recommendation does not do his performance justice. Thanks again.” -Brita McGrath

– Brita McGrath

You and your band were nothing short of perfect! Combined with your voice an stage presence, the music was terrific, evening fun and you kept the crowd moving ! From the musical interludes to the electric slide [and wow -can you dance!] we had so much fun and loved every minute of your performance. And so many compliments on your 'Sinatra'! We'll always remember you and be appreciative of your hard work. We were so pleased with our wedding music, we only wish we could get married all over again, just to have Michael Matone and his band play at another event.

– Ian and Monica Broff

Michael's voice is fantastic. It felt like Sinatra and Martin were in my living room. My mother and family absolutely loved his performance. He was very professional and I was completely satisfied with everything.

– Cindy Bonanno - Homestead, FL

"I wanted to tell you that all our guests LOVED you! I really loved how personal you were to us and the guests and I really loved 'My Funny Valentine'. You made our wedding soooooooo memorable! Please thank your wife for coming and looking stunning. We will never forget you guys. Keep me posted in all upcoming gigs. I will always recommend you for future events."

– Dawn Petrone Roi, Boca Raton

Michael was a pure delight. His music and personality charmed my guests, making them part of the act. He was an intrinsic part of a terrific evening, and we consider him to be a top-flight entertainer in every sense of the word.

– Larry Bishop, Casa Del Sol - Merritt Is., FL

Michael has been awarded its special award of "Best Tribute Artist" on TalentGold. It was his versatility and professionalism that led to the award. Michael is a true professional. He doesn't just go out and sing - he really entertains. That's the difference.

– P. Abrahams

Michael was featured vocalist for 26 shows at our nightly variety show 'Spotlight' at the Bourbon St. Hotel/Casino. He is one of the most professional entertainers I have ever worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone who requires the highest quality talent.

– Will Roya, Producer

Michael, you are a genius! You will be our regular entertainer at our Palm Beach society events and for our Save-a-Pet foundation. How marvelous they all say!

– GiGi Maxwell

Fantastic ! Better than Sinatra! This was the overwhelming response from the audience at our political fundraiser in Colorado. Michael's performance was a stylish and classy presentation of all those great standards made popular by Sinatra, Bobby Darin and Michael Buble. Jazz, swing, Latin, ballads, even patriotic songs. This was combined with the most excellent singing voice we've heard and stage presence we've seen in years. Ever in need of a reference, have them call me - honored. We're having you back in Colorado for our next event!

– Rich Mancuso, Congressional Candidate

A real class act and great singing voice. I recommend Michael's Rat Pack Christmas to anyone

– Roy Buckman, AARP

I would just like to commend and thank Mike Matone for doing such a wonderful job on Sunday, Oct. 15th, 2006 at Calder Race Course's annual Italianfest. Michael was a real crowd pleaser and a wonderful talent to work with. I would definitely recommend Frank Sina.....oops! Mike, to entertain and WOW any event! I hope to work with him again soon! Carolyne Gordon

– Carolyne Gordon, Calder Race Course ItaliaFest

My husband and I hired a band to play at his large 50th birthday party...I wanted to surprise him with a Frank Sinatra/Rat Pack singer/performer ...Michael was everything (and more) that I imagined!! He was perfect!! I did not want a Frank Sinatra look alike, just someone who could really sing like the Rat Pack! He's got all the moves, the attitude, the sophistication and especially the voice...what a great voice!! He set the mood for an elegant yet really fun night!! I highly reccommend him!! --Ann Doggett Houston, TX

– Ann Doggett

Fantastic from start to finish. Michael is a real winner. I cant wait to book him again for another event. Well Done!
