Description
CHRIS GARDNER IS ONE OF THE TOP DEAN MARTIN IMPERSONATORS IN THE COUNTRY! Chris STARRED as Dean in BOTH OF THE AWARD-WINNING LAS VEGAS RAT PACK SHOWS-"THE RAT PACK IS BACK" and "SANDY HACKETT'S RAT PACK SHOW".
Chris has performed as Dean in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Reno, New York, Boston and many other cities throughout the country!
Chris is a Gigmaster's 5 star rated Dean Martin Tribute Artist whose performances are consistently rated as one of the favorite entertainment acts of it's kind. Chris embodies the suave, ultra-cool persona of Dean Martin and pleases crowds with his dead-on vocal renditions.
From the moment he takes the stage, tall and tan, dressed in a classic tuxedo with drink and cigarette in hand, Chris wows the audience. Singing the songs that Dean Martin has made famous, interspersed with jokes and bits, Chris puts on a great show! Chris promises and delivers a 5 star performance.
Chris can be booked as a Dean Martin solo act with a full band or professional backing tracks. Chris also performs a one-man "Tribute to the Rat Pack" featuring the classic songs of Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr, Bobby Darin and more! A great show with either a live 7 piece "little big band", 12 piece band or full 16 piece orchestra.
HERE ARE A FEW TESTIMONIALS FROM RECENT PERFORMANCES:
"You and the show were loved by all and management is asking me about a return of Dean and the band.
Most of all, everyone mentioned what a great performer you are and how you made everyone feel like it was a big family party.
I had many members come up and say this was one of the best shows we have had in years.
Chris, thank you so much, it was fun working with you, and you made everything fall into place so easily, from our first meet, communications during, and the show. I will be calling you regarding a return performance".
Jim Spain, Mira Vista Country Club
"It was a pleasure to have Chris take the stage as Dino at our Vintage Vegas Gala. He really got the crowd in the mood and set the tone for the party. His singing, jokes and stage presence are all true Dean Martin. Chris was also very helpful in encouraging high bidding at our auction.
Sharon SomogyiDevelopment Director, Boys & Girls Clubs of Napa Valley
"I hired Chris to perform as Dean Martin for my dear friend Nancy's 50th birthday party. To everyone's delight and Nancy's surprise, Dean came waltzing out of the bar dressed in his tuxedo and began serenading us, completely emanating the beloved star. He had my friend swooning before the show was over. The crowd really enjoyed the entertainment and it made her 50th a memorable event. Chris is extremely detailed and professional, and he is a very charming Dean Martin."
Mary Kecskemeti
"Chris Gardner as Dean Martin did a fabulous job at our recent holiday party. This was a surprise to all and when Dean came out and performed, everyone was shocked and surprised. I recieved lots of compliments on the performance from the Executive Staff. Chris made sure that everything flowed well and that everyone was entertained. I would most definitely call Chris again if I am in need of a performer."
Alexandra Galvez Human Resources, Peninsula Building Materials
Chris Gardner as Dean Martin was a surprise for our wedding guests and a huge success in adding an element of fun, laughter and great songs from the Dean Martin era! He was a perfect choice of entertainment for our lounge-themed wedding. His resemblance in looks and voice was amazing and right on! Chris was a pro in every way from beginning to end! We wouldn't hesitate to have him entertain for us again and will be looking for him to help celebrate at our 1st year anniversary party!

All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed Chris. It was so much fun dancing while "Dean Martin" sang.
