Raffaele - Singer Singer from Philadelphia, PA

Hello, my name is Raffaele, and I've been singing and playing music professionally since age 17, and in the music-rich environment of my native South Philadelphia, I was surrounded by a wealth of talent, including my family, who greatly influenced and encouraged me. I acquired my early vocal experience singing a cappella with friends on the street corner. Today, my classic crooner's tone and rich expression will take you back to the greatest era in American music. Get ready for everyone's favorite swing, pop and jazz standards from the Great American Songbook, some time-honored Sing-alongs, and a little music to get you moving...Enjoy! As a Professional, Experienced, and Seasoned Vocalist, who's been performing at Senior Centers for over twenty years, I know exactly what songs to sing to get everyone smiling and connected. My music spans decades from the Big Band era to today. The residents love it when we sing some Sing-a-longs and do the Interactive Dance Songs while seated. If some are dancing, or the staff is willing, I play Line Dances, the energy level goes up, the residents enjoy it, and we all have a good time. And as a Professional, I'm always sensitive to my audience. If someone has a request, I work it into my program...Everybody's Happy!
