Description
Singing the Big Band Standards like you've never heard before! Winner of the "Top Gigmasters Big Band Singer Award for 2008"! Matt Walch is an outstanding singer from Michigan, performing throughout the country, including Chicago, Bal Harbour, Scottsdale, Palm Springs, Tulsa, Boston, Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. His music consists of songs recorded by Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Michael Buble and other greats, sounding so close to the original, audiences often wonder if he's actually singing! He has performed live with The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, opened for the Glenn Miller Orchestra, played the lead role in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and was a featured dancer and soloist for two years in the jazz show choir, Starfleet Ambassadors. Matt has also appeared on the Bart Hawley Show, part of a Jackson based cable station, several times. For over ten years, Matt has been performing for festivals,company parties, Anniversaries, Weddings, receptions, Birthdays, holiday shows, and for dinner entertainment at fine restaurants. For a reception Matt is "a perfect blend for cocktail and dinner hour".
NOT ONCE HAS AN AUDIENCE OR CLIENT BEEN DISSAPOINTED IN MATT'S PERFORMANCE!
Matt performs with professionally recorded accompaniments that sound very close to the original! Listen to the song clips! This has allowed Matt to provide a high caliber of entertainment at a more reasonable price than using a live band. Everything about Matt's performance is always professional, including equipment, proper attire, and attitude.
Here are a few comments about Matt's previous performances.

Matt is GREAT!!
I've heard him with MY group - The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
Whatever you need - he has it!

"Summertime on Martha's Vineyard can seem like a never ending cocktail party. I wanted to do something different for my client's Premier Party and Matt Walch raised the bar for us. His sophisticated sound and professional performance made the party exceptional. The songs of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and other legends were beautifully interpreted by Matt and our guests thoroughly enjoyed him."

Matt Walch is a top notch vocalist. Matt has been out here several times and everyone's been very pleased with each performance. We had Matt open for the Glenn Miller Orchestra last year and the manager asked Matt to send them a demo tape for their producer to listen to. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Matt back again, because he's such a crowd pleaser. In fact, I hope to have him back this year for another set of Christmas shows.

Matt is an amazing performer. He is an absolute crowd favorite -
close your eyes and you will swear Frank and Dean have entered the hall. His outstanding voice and command of the stage will astound you. He has been known to distribute flowers to some of the ladies in his audiences. ALL will leave his show with a smile on their face, a song in their heart and an appreciation of the talent of this first-class entertainer.

We were just thrilled with Matt. He arrived early, and was set up with enough time left over for us to ask him a few last minute questions. Matt not only sang all the songs we requested, but also added some that were just beautiful. Everyone commented on his amazing voice, and how much they enjoyed his friendly style of entertainment. Our guests were thrilled that he was more than willing to sing a few of their requests. Many of our family and friends who were gathered for our special night asked Matt for contact information. We're all looking forward to hearing him perform again, and would recommend him in a heartbeat. -- Rob

- Wow. Matt performed for our event and from the time I heard him singing on this site to the end of the evening I could not get over his voice and professionalism. I'm still getting compliments about his perfomance from the guests. Several people are interested in hiring him already. I would definately hire him again. Great job!
He's a cutie - looks great in his tux! -- Marilyn M, Ann Arbor, MI, 1/11/2007
- Matt was great and my residents loved him. We will have him back in the future. Matt was very perfessional and his voice was unbelievable.
