Brad Normandeau
Overview
Brad will arrive at your engagement dressed to impress, poised to croon with his signature 50's microphone.

“ Brad, it was spectacular. First off, thank you for being the first to respond and absolutely perfect for what my daughter dreamed of. Second, you have amazing talent. Every song you performed was spot on. I looked up at the stage at each song, it seemed, to see if that was you singing. It was quite impressive. Every moment was magical and very remarkable. To put it bluntly, I could not believe it was happening. I’ve planned things with great energy and much time to not have 50% of what you pulled off last minute. I may regret saying this (joking) because I have wedding in January 2024: you deserved more than you asked. Again, thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart. This was beyond anything I could have planned or asked for. I’m deeply humbled. Lastly, I want to keep in touch to have you perform in January for my son’s wedding at the same venue. This final thing will never be forgotten: once I was seated to eat, you started singing a song I didn’t know, but my wife’s elderly aunt and uncle who were seated by me got excited. It was their song and they looked at each other and sang along with you until the end. It was another magical and memorable moment. Thank you.”

Very kind words Ken, thanks very much for taking the time to write them. You were a pleasure to work with throughout this whole process; and your daughter and son-in-law were a joy to sing for. I wish you all all the best of health and happiness, and I look forward to working with you for the next wedding 😃

Hey guys, thanks very much for the stellar review! Melissa, you were stunning on your wedding day! Such a pleasure to work with you and Stephen over these many months. The Hotel Emma was such a beautiful backdrop for your big day. All the best to you both, in the many years to come! :)

October 16, 2024You'll be Left Pining to Hire Him Again and Again!
We hired Brad for an annual fundraising gala this past weekend and days later I am still receiving positive feedback about his performance. This crowd is generally accustomed to seeing a country band to two-step outside. It was quite a treat to change things up for an elevated, indoors jazzy/swanky vibe. Brad was PERFECT - excellent communication, showed up earlier than expected, and went above and beyond to be flexible with our needs and last minute requests. All he needs is access to power, ample space and he takes care of the rest! Easy! My only regret is that I was working and could not thoroughly enjoy his set!! Ugh! Until next time!

I thoroughly enjoyed singing for The Old Black County Courthouse gala, what a beautiful spot, steeped in Texas history. Thanks very much Claudia, you and your team were a fantastic group to work with!

What to expect
I am a vocalist/entertainer who performs with professional audio tracks (of exceptional quality...true to the original). I am fully self contained and provide all that is necessary to ensure a classy fun-filled engagement. In that vein, I provide a professional-grade sound system, complete with: a monitor, a nostalgic 1950s microphone for just the right sound and style, speakers of varying sizes (dependent upon the size of the venue, but capable of entertaining large groups of up to 3,500 people), up-lighting controlled by a DMX controller with numerous lighting options. In addition, have the ability to provide on-the-fly (capable of accepting requests) DJ music to offset the vocal performance if desired. Over the course of these many years, I have performed for just about every type of venue one could imagine to include a recent performance at the new state-of-the art Tobin Center for the performing arts. I pride myself on my professionalism and flexibility. Always at the forefront of my thoughts is the idea that a satisfied customer is an opportunity to win over a potential repeat customer. All this, while at the same time giving you a fantastic show sure to delight all attendees.
About
An accomplished vocalist/entertainer Brad began his musical career as a member of the highly acclaimed United States Air Forces Europe Entertainment (USAFE) Showcase some 20 years ago where he served as a Lead Vocalist for 3 distinct European Tours entertaining Military members and their families overseas. Since that time, he has performed tirelessly as a freelance entertainer. Brad has entertained for both intimate showings and large scale performances throughout the world. In addition, he has performed locally here in San Antonio and surrounding South Central Texas for countless conventions, parties, cocktail socials, weddings, and just about any other type of venue you could imagine. Brad has been the featured entertainer at many local restaurants to include three of the Luciano's brand restaurants, Boccone's Italian Restaurant, Copelands restaurant and countless others. Throughout his career, he has even been dubbed "The velvet crooner", wowing audiences the world over with his silky smooth vocals. His musical tastes are diverse (standards, pop, jazz, rock, oldies, motown and country), and he seamlessly transitions from one genre of music to another. Simply put, Brad's singing brings you to a happy place, a nostalgic glimpse back to a simpler time in our musical history, a time filled with the gentle caress of a well sung ballad and the raw unfiltered sound of a talented singer. Brad is not just a singer, but an entertainer whose sole purpose is to ensure you have a fun filled engagement. In this vein, Brad has the ability to incorporate D.J. music to offset the live vocal performance, providing the best of both worlds and an even more diverse musical spectrum to suit audiences of all kinds.
Additional booking notes
If requested, I will provide ambient up-lighting controlled by a DMX controller which enhances the visual aspect of the performance. The up-lighting comes in many different colors and varying combinations.

Influences and inspiration
I grew up with what many would call an "old soul". At a time when my peers were listening to the likes of Bon Jovi, Aerosmith and Journey, I was fully immersed in the sultry sounds of old. My earliest musical influences were Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Neil Diamond, The Platters, and of course Frank Sinatra...just to name a few. I have always been a big fan of the well sung ballad, hence my connection to the crooners of old who, in my estimation, set the bar very high. I consider it both an honor and a privilege to share my love of this music with you.
