Beyond expectation

I read all of Ed's wonderful reviews and was expecting him to be great, but he somehow exceeded that expectation. I wish we could have Ed at every party. He was a wonderful performer and engaged an otherwise shy crowd. I would absolutely hire again and recommend highly!

Response from CroonerEd:

Thanks so much, Cheir. You and your guests were terrific and fun to entertain. Your outside patio area worked out great, too. Not only did I get to dance with a lovely lady and get your folks to sing along, but I enjoyed talking to many after the show and heard first hand how much they enjoyed the music and stories. Thank you again for the opportunity to be with you all and for your great review.

Absolutely Amazing!

Ed was outstanding! Not only did he show up early with all equipment needed, he set everything up and did not require any assistance (a huge relief in setting up parties!). He was friendly, always had a smile and the performance was top-notch. Dressed to the nines and professional. What amazing asset to our party, we could not have asked for more!

Thanks Kimberly! You sure know how to throw a party! And talk about being dressed to the nines, you out sparkled everyone. You’re group was super friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with you. Glad we got that “sing-a-long” in and I’m grateful you invited me to be a part of your celebration. Hope we get to do this again in the days ahead.

Interactive Performance

CroonerEd is an excellent, professional performer and we would love to have him return for future performances. He was accommodating to our company's scheduling needs, showed up early, and provided our senior audience with an interactive & fun show. They loved his choice of songs and enjoyed his vocal style. Our community has been on lockdown due to the covid pandemic so this was the first live concert we have had in months! What a treat! Would definitely recommend!

You and the staff were all great and helpful and made being their with you all very easy. Thank you for the opportunity and I really appreciate your recommendation. See you all again in the days ahead.

Crooner Ed was absolutely amazing!!!

Crooner Ed customized and delivered the most wonderful show for my mother’s 90th birthday! The song choices were perfect and his voice is amazing! I requested songs from the Rat Pack, and was extremely impressed with his choices and execution. A wonderful addition to any special event. Thanks Crooner Ed for playing a part in making my mom’s birthday such a memorable one.

What to Expect

I offer happy, uplifting, romantic, and classy entertainment featuring hit songs from the "Great American Songbook." There are the wonderful hit songs made famous by great entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Andy Williams, and today's Michael Bublé. Songs like "Fly Me to the Moon," "The Way You Look Tonight," "You Make Me Feel So Young,” “It Had To Be You,” and "Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime."

Based on your plans and budget, I perform live as (1) a solo act with terrific videos playing behind me for every song; (2) a duet with a piano/keyboard player, (3) a small ensemble with piano, guitar and bass or (4) a exciting six to 10 piece jazz band that will absolutely thrill your group.

Add some great story telling about the original singers and songwriters, a smooth and easy-to-listen-to "crooner" voice, clean humor and a professional nightclub styled performance, and you have a wonderful night of entertainment. See what you’ll get by visiting YouTube.com/@CroonerEd to see over 100 videos and join over 30,000 followers on Instagram @InstaCroonerEd.

Typically, I/we work via agreed upon flat fees covering performance and travel expenses. So go ahead — make me an offer I can’t refuse! A 10% deposit secures your date.

It would be great to talk things over to see if I'm a good fit for your event.
