CroonerEd Shows
"Hardly anybody knows this, but I'm really quite famous."
1. A CroonerEd show is a highly interactive, captivating journey of music, video, and entertainment. The music starts, a video on a big screen flickers on, Ed’s velvety voice begins to croon, and audiences smile knowing they are in for a wonderful treat.
2. With a charismatic presence, charming personality, and great sense of humor, people love how Ed entertains and interacts with the audience. As he smoothly sings familiar hit songs from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and others, he’ll often wander off stage to interact with the audience inviting guests to sing along, dance, comment, take photos, and
enjoy memorable moments.
3. The musical journey and atmosphere seamlessly transition between lively swing numbers like “Fly Me to the Moon" and “You Make Me Feel So Young" to romantic love songs like “The Way You Look Tonight” and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.” Along the way, he shares personal stories and anecdotes which add a very special and intimate touch to each show.
4. Ed has been entertaining audiences for over 20 years. He’s recorded several albums, performed with Grammy Award winner Bob Carlisle (of “Butterfly Kisses” fame), and enjoys millions of views at YouTube.com/@CroonerEd, Instagram (@InstaCroonerEd) and other
music and social media sites.
5. Most all CroonerEd shows are just him — along with his wonderful background videos. However, to make your event even more special and memorable (and costly), Ed can bring along special guests which could include amazing individual musicians (i.e. pianist, acoustic guitarist), an amazing three to five piece jazz ensemble, or even some wonderful dancers.
