Tonya Rekemeyer

My physical presentation is just as much a part of the package as my singing abilities: I always perform in costume, most often dressed head-to-toe in some retro, eras-themed outfit that corresponds with a season, holiday, or special event. If you have a specific character/ type of outfit or costume in mind for your event, just let me know. I can likely accommodate and come dressed for your theme!

I bring my own speaker and wireless mic, which enables me to move around and make my performance more personal and interactive. I don't just stand in one spot (if space allows.) I like to move around a bit and sing directly to members of the audience.

My speciality is music ranging from the 1920's - 1980's. During my shows, I thoughtfully transition between slow ballads & uptempo songs. To keep it interesting, I'm frequently rotating through genres of jazz, country, rock n' roll, disco, showtunes & more. For these types of shows, I sing to backing tracks. This allows me to perform a wider versatility of music categories that sound just like the originals we all know and love. I can cover all the most popular songs by both male & female artists. *** I also have a handful of well-known Spanish songs that I cover, which are familiar enough to my English audience to still enjoy.

I am not limited to the Oldies, however. I can cover music from any decade, including current hits of today. If you have a decades- themed event, I can easily tailor my set list to fit that timeline.

I can also play piano, if there is need for a more mellow, relaxing atmosphere.

I bring a lot of energy and passion to my performances. I spread joy with what I do and the way I do it. My shows invoke a sense of nostalgia and invite the listeners to travel back in time and relive old memories as they hear songs from different decades of their life.

I have performed with various bands over the past two decades, but it was my time with a DooWopp band that revitalized my love for the oldies. I began singing at retirement homes, and when I saw their faces light up with joy - it sparked a fire in me. We all connect with songs that gives us a sense of nostalgia. Music has the power to bring back lost memories and go back in time to relive past memories. I now regularly perform for over 30 senior communities in the DFW metroplex, as well as sing at private parties and special events. I truly love what I do, and I believe it's evident to all who experience the passion with which I sing.
