Nick has also performed at The City of Hope Annual Gala event, at The Bel Air Bay Club accompanied by The USC Orchestra, and at the Feast of San Genarro festival in Los Angeles. In November 2005 the "California Central Valley Arts and Entertainment Magazine" bestowed the honor of “Artist of the Month” to Nick Palance quoting “There’s a magic and passion in his voice that I was immediately drawn to.” “The first time I heard him sing, I was hooked,” said a concert-attendee at the benefit where Nick performed.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
NICK WAS AMAZING!!!! HE ADDED AN EXTRA CLASS TO THE WEDDING. THE GUESTS ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT HIM. BRAVOOOO NICK!!!!
--Robert T.

Nick Palance is simply the best performer I ever had work for me. He made himself available with a long layover between engagements. And, he followed my directions perfectly. His singing and personality is still being talked about by my wife, whose landmark birthday we were celebrating and our many friends and family who attended the party.
During Nick's performance, he directed his singing to one of our younger guests who has a long history of suffering with depression. Nick elevated her mood and she smiled the rest of the evening, saying it was the best party she ever attended. Thanks Nick for your sensitivity. You have an amazing talent I hope to see again.

5's across the board for Nick because I can't indicate anything higher! Nick is warm, soft spoken and a professional in every sense sith an amazing voice that sends chills. His rendition of "To Where You are" at my daughter's wedding brought tears to both men and women and his "Ave Maria" was simply inspiring. We received many compliments from guests, the minister and the organist who said that Nick was by far the most talented vocalist they had heard in a long time. There are not enough words to express the feeling he added to the service and the true joy his singing gave my daughter on her very special day will be remembered always.

Nick is an amazingly talented tenor (and his voice is even better live). He sang several songs at our wedding ceremony, as well as a few special requests for our reception. He was such a professional and our guests loved him. We couldn't recommend him more highly.

From the first bid we submitted through the end of his performance, Nick was responsive, enthusiastic, accommodating, and fun. He was the OPPOSITE of "high maintenance." We had terrible weather and unexpected last-minute problems with the sound system but he was always upbeat. He made us all feel great and especially our guest of honor. His performance was brilliant both musically and in terms of pure showmanship. His vocal talent is top rate.

Nick is the Los Angeles Andrea Bocelli. Nick, his piano player, and violinist are exceptional. They entertained for two sets that were in the tradition of true opera and exceeded all expectations.
Nick's voice was breathtaking as he took many of our guests back to Italy with Andrea Bocelli and Mario Lanza songs. He then brought the guest back to the US with Josh Groblin and many other classics.
When you contract with Nick your entertainment is not only completed, you will be assured that it will be rememberable. Nick ensures that all instruments, lighting and sound is also at its best.
Nick is absolutely the best and I highly recommend him for any event big or small. Truly, AMAZING!!!!!!!

To say that Nick is remarkable or that his voice is exquisite doesn’t begin to describe the magic he brought to our wedding or how he has forever touched our lives. First call to last goodbye he was charming sincere & professional. He sings with a passion & intensity that offers you a glimpse into his soul & his performance added a facet to our day that raised it from simply fabulous to utter perfection. We can’t adequately express our appreciation to Nick & his delightful & talented accompanists Jennifer & Vince. To know Nick is to love him & to hear him sing is to experience pure joy. He is nothing short of brilliant & will absolutely be the highlight of any event.
