Michael Martocci

Michael is a resident of Morganville, New Jersey and is one of the best Sinatra Tribute Artists in the business today. So much that Mr. Sinatra’s manager Eliot Weisman, has boasted that, “Michael is the closest you will ever come to reliving the Sinatra experience, backed by a 22-piece orchestra playing all the original Sinatra orchestrations”.

Michael lets this audience know that he is NOT a SINATRA IMPERSONATOR. You would have to be crazy to think that anyone can be Frank Sinatra. He simply does these concerts to keep the music alive and make sure his Grandkids, Grandkids will know the name and the music of Frank Sinatra. Michael was the opening act for comic legend Don Rickles for many years and has performed in Atlantic City, Las Vegas and all across America to standing ovations. Fans who have seen Michael before give him the best compliment. You close your eyes and you think it’s Frank Sinatra.

Mike Marino

Mike Marino – affectionately known to millions of his fans worldwide as New Jersey’s Bad Boy – is one of the most loved comedians of our time. He has performed in every major comedy club, theatre, casino and event center from New York to Los Angeles and around the world. Mike has also shared the stage with some of the biggest names in the business.

Bill Spadea

Bill Spadea is an entrepreneur, media personality, father, husband and vocal advocate for working and middle class families. Spadea is the top morning drive talk show host in New Jersey on 101.5 FM.

Presented by Michael Martocci
