Critics and audiences agree; Kevin's energy, voice and song interpretation brings the music to life. You'll feel you're hearing it for the very first time and his fun repartee keeps the audiences locked into each moment. Over the years thousands have enjoyed Kevin's voice and you'll love the new Sinatra Tribute Show.
Kevin Gray, an award winning entertainer, first started his career in regional theatre. His performances have earned him recognition and praise including the coveted Perry Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his role as Nick in "Baby". His role as Narrator in "Blood Brothers" helped win the Perry for Best Musical.
Kevin performs as a soloist and with the SummerSwing Orchestra but he sings mostly with the 78 West Jazz Ensemble. Kevin and 78 West have been together over 15 years and their mission has always been to "give back to the community". Their focus has been to help non-profit groups create awesome fund raising events and their new Sinatra Tribute Show is proving to be a real crowd pleaser as well as something quite unique.
One of Kevin's greatest loves is being able to touch the heart of the audience. Sharing a unique moment with a listener when they experience something special like a simple tear, a hearty laugh or a rekindled memory is a privilege, a joy and an honor.

Thank you so much for the beautiful voice of your singing. Your voice is so special! When you sang for dad there wasn't a dry eye in the place. Dad would've loved to hear you. Mom was so pleased!

You were once again absolutely terrific. Having you there providing such upbeat blends really gave the event a festive splash, certainly adding to our ability to raise nearly $40,000. We truly value your contribution as we would not be able to have this event without our supporters.
Many thanks

The veterans had an incredible evening listening to your band. Your group delighted all those in attendance with your highly talented members and unique sound. Many veterans commented on how wonderful it was having a live musical performance and they reminisced about their younger years watching big band performances. Thank you again for making the event such a success.

Thanks to 78 West! Since this is my first time helping to spearhead this event, it was my first choice to hear you play. You guys sound great! As a former radio DJ, I always appreciate good music.
Thanks again

Thank you sincerely for singing at my husband John's funeral mass. It was so kind of you to share your gift to sing for us. It meant a lot to my children and myself. We always felt we were lucky when we attended 5:30 mass and you were singing. Pretending to know your schedule I'd sometimes tell John "this Saturday Kevin is singing" so that John would go to 5:30 mass.
Thank you sincerely

Thank you so much for adding such beauty to my dad's funeral with your wonderful gift of singing. We were all so very touched that you drove to NY on your day off to help celebrate my dad's life. I will never forget your singing of "Amazing Grace". It's a gift I will always treasure.
Love
