Lou gives you what you want to hear and see. Performs the Anka tribute show as if you are watching Paul Anka himself by having a similar look and style. He gives you the feel that Paul Anka is talking to you and performing his greatest hits. I highly recommend seeing the Paul Anka tribute show which I’ve seen twice and have also seen him perform old time crooner style shows and his versatility shines through every time. He is the consummate entertainer and you leave with a smile knowing you were completely entertained.

Lou Villano is the consummate entertainer. His rapport with the audience, great singing voice, knowledge of the material, and passion for what he is doing left an indelible impression on my wife and I. When Lou performed his Paul Anka tribute show, he truly transformed himself into the role and became the legendary singer. Before singing the many hit songs associated with Paul Anka throughout his career, Lou provided many interesting anecdotes and background about them. Lou Villano, as seen in his final set of the evening, is also quite versatile. His song styling interpreting the hits of other famous artists, as part of his repertoire, was enjoyable to hear.
Tribute Artist
Have seen over the years many tribute shows, but Lou Villano really nailed Paul Anka in his review. I think we have seen his show twice and it only gets better. The last show at The Black Box was the best. We are already booking for his March show.
A real genuine entertainer.

Additional Booking Notes
When necessary any show I do can be self-contained with my own sound. If using a band the band comes with their own equipment. Some venues already has in-house sound so I would need monitors for all musicians + 2 out front for myself, mics, Direct boxes so that musician can plug into the house, microphones including a wireless mic and stand for myself. Also when available video playback of special effect video's during the show. All requirements can be discussed prior to any event.
