When they wanted a singer worthy of Mrs. Frank Sinatra, they insisted on someone who naturally mirrored the sound and essence of her late husband. For Barbara Sinatra, there was only one option: Dave Halston.
Halston's brilliant Tribute to Sinatra and his audacious Rat Pack shows are top-rated in the nation! Not only has Dave delivered command performances for Mrs. Sinatra, he has also entertained Jeanne Martin (Dean's widow) and Mr. Las Vegas himself, Wayne Newton.
Dave's shows are exciting and unforgettable. More than an “impersonation”, Dave delivers a stunning “interpretation” of that familiar style and swagger. The resemblance is so remarkable that some insist he's lip-syncing.
We had Dave Halston and his band at our college casino night event. Working to book Dave was stress-free and flexibile. The band arrived early, and were super professional throughout the entire evening. Dave was able to provide personality and humor to the performance, and the students loved it! Some students stated they were in their rooms and thought they heard us blasting Frank Sinatra music and were so impressed to come out and see it was an actual live band. We will definitely be looking to use Dave again in the future!
