Vegas Tribute Artists Arrive in Michigan with Elvis, Sinatra, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond, Bobby Darin

Sept. 11, 2009 - PRLog -- Kelly and Carluccio, both local, Michigan veteran and talented performers, will bring their Vegas show to metro Detroit audiences this fall that features a medley of renown Las Vegas super stars.  

Known as the 1-Man Legend Show, Carluccio’s favorite presentation is his “Rat Pack” exhibition of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, complete with banter between himself and the audience.  However, before his favorite shtick, it’s not unusual for Michael to get the entire audience warmed up with a Tom Jones music number followed by a medley of Neil Diamond and Bobby Darin hits.

Local entertainment producer and music critic, Dennis Nazelli, claims that Michigan audiences are in for, “… a refreshing treat when their Vegas Legends’ act hits local stages.”  “First of all, the price of admission for the duo’s dinner show is so affordable that it will make skeptics wonder if these guys are just amateurs at the Capuchin Kitchen.”

“These guys are the real deal,” proclaimed Nazelli.  “Everybody is doing Elvis, and, there are hundreds of Sinatra pretenders,” he continued.  “But, there are very few acts that can do it all as these two local boys!”  Kelly and Carluccio have appeared as solo performers on the same stage.  Kelly has performed mostly as a solo act with his Elvis tribute show.  However, the act that they have put together will be a first for them. They will combine their individual talents in a 90-minute show celebrating the biggest names in show business.

It would be a disservice to label Kelly and Michael as impersonators.  With the aid of costuming and makeup, the pair creates a fantastic show with their voices. “The crowd’s sentimental favorite is Kelly doing Elvis Presley,” confessed Michael.  “What can I say?  He’s the ‘King.’”  But as for Carluccio’s contribution to the show, his versatility with multiple star personalities has garnered from his peers in the industry the nickname “Sybil.”

In spite of their talent, the one factor that drives audiences to beg for more is their contact with their admirers during their show.  “I love performing outside of Las Vegas,” blushed Michael.  “In Vegas, they don’t allow us to get out and into the audience.  Here our singing goes beyond the eyes and ears; it gets inside and touches their hearts.”  

Carluccio’s schmaltzy sentiment may seem a bit over-dramatic.  Yet, his presentation depends on that voltage of connection with the audience.  As the “King of Rock ‘n Roll,” Elvis Kelly’s side of the stage is in stark contrast to Michael’s balladdeering.  Besparkled in radiant sequins, the King’s costumes leave nothing to the imagination for the star-struck crowds.  The king of the Elvis Presley impersonators shakes it up for his standing and frenzied audiences.

The premier of the Las Vegas Tribute Revue will take place at the Ram's Horn stage on Hayes Road in Shelby Twp. on Sunday, October 4.  To order tickets for the October 4 premier, contact 586-655-5370.
