Eddie Russo

I am self-contained with background tracks, as well as fully arranged musical charts up to nine pieces. My supper club presentation is in the genre of Sinatra, Louis Prima and Dean Martin, within a dance and show format. I also play mandolin and can stroll in up-scale restaurants, or for weddings, and private events, as well as my dance band format. I sing, entertain, play trombone and ,as mentioned, the mandolin. My rates depend on the engagement and how many people I hire with me in the band.
