Description

In John Morello's Vegas style tribute show, he not only sounds like the super stars - Dean Martin, Roy Orbison, Johnny Cash, Elvis - he is an amazing celebrity look-a-like.

John Morello's portrayal of Dean Martin delivers a charismatic performance matching Dean's mesmerizing voice and charmingly seductive character bringing his audience singing, laughing and dancing to the songs Dean made famous. As Dean Martin, the audience will be taken back in time with songs such as "Everybody Loves Somebody, You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You, Volare and That's Amore".

John Morello as Roy Orbison has the audience remembering that shy Vernon Texan with the phenomenal voice and distinctive usage of falsetto. Dark sunglasses, guitar in hand, John captures his audience as he portrays Roy not only in looks but with a voice that will have you believing Roy is once more on stage.

John Morello as Johnny Cash has brought people to their feet as he brings back to life this legendary country performer. John has trained his voice so that it bears an uncanny resemblance to that of this great performer and when he steps onto the stage and starts his performance, the audience is completely taken in.

John Morello as Elvis Presley in that famous black leather outfit from his '68 comeback special and velvet tone voice has his audience always asking for an encore. When John performs songs from "If I Can Dream, My Way, Fame and Fortune to Are You Lonesome Tonight", he quickly charms his audience and has them up dancing.

"The show was excellent!!! This guy has really done his homework - you would think that he was the star he was acting out on stage. I feel so privileged that I finally made it to see "Mr. Martin", live and on stage!" B. Neeb

We grew up on Dino music, and I swear my mom couldn't have been more pleased and excited if it were Dino himself come back to see her. She hasn't stopped talking about it. John, you are such an incredible Dino look and sound alike. I think we all had to shake ourselves to remember that you are just a Dino impersonator (and not Dino himself. J Rafferty

"Neighbours in Rochester Hills thoroughly enjoyed dancing under the stars and summer moonlight listening to John's performance of Dean Martin. They thought it was Dino himself."

"Your Roy Orbison impersonation was exceptional and we were 150% pleased with your show. We want to have another party just to use you again." Caterpillar Canada

"John has an amazing voice which he has mastered to reflect the great artists that he admires. His renditions of the classic songs from Elvis to Roy Orbison are akin to the true artists that recorded them. Our guests thought that they were listening to the original singers". Investors Group

John Morello's powerful baritone voice and wide vocal range has allowed him to master the stylings of several artists from the 1950's through to the 1980's. During his shows, John will surprise his audience with impressions of Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne, Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson, Louis Armstrong, Clark Gable, Sylvester Stallone and event Forest Gump. He has appeared throughout eastern Canada and United States.

Feedback

  • I was very pleased with his perfomance & talent. Everyone at the wedding enjoyed his show & raved at his performance. Mr. John Morello delivered his show & his agent/wife Pauline was a professional & courtious individual. If & when I need an entertainer I will always keep John in mind. -- Joseph L, Bloomingdale, IL, 9/9/2007
  • John Morello was spectacular. Him and his lovely wife made a great team and everyone enjoyed the little jokes and dialogue they made. He was so authentic I am still trying to convince people he was actually singing and not lip sinking, which is a great compliment to John's voice! -- Rico T, Woodbridge, ON, 4/21/2007
  • Having John (and his wonderful agent/wife, Pauline) at our event made for a most memorable evening! We'll never forget it...when you book something on line, sight unseen, you're a little wary but we were more than satisfied! -- Evelyn P, Utica, MI, 8/12/2006
