Jack D'Amico as Frank
Sinatra
Jack D 'Amico, as Frank
Sinatra, is probably the most impressive
character in the show, wiggling his hips in a
subdued but very Sinatra-ish way. It is his
voice, however, which makes everybody sit up and
pay attention: it is exactly the great master's
voice and intonation. Incredible! That's what
the Aruba News said after his recent appearance
at the Alhambra Casino, with The Chicago Rat
Pack. Although he has performed tributes to
Frank Sinatra for the past seventeen years,
Jack's talents are not limited to these
tributes. Having shared the stage with numerous
headliners, and entertaining audiences for years
in a variety of arenas he has been favorably
compared to the most popular of the saloon
singers. Dave Hoekstra of the Chicago Sun-Times
has written: "Chicago's favorite Sinatra
stylist, Jack D 'Amico, is a brilliant saloon
singer in his own right."
His favorite kind of music; music that comes
from the heart. If you want the world on a
string, or someone to tug on your heartstrings,
look no further. Jack D'Amico has arrived!

John Anderson
The story of John Anderson
and his platinum-plus album, Seminole Wind, is
the story of the country music "come-back" of
the decade. It's the true-to-life, yet
larger-than-life, saga of one of the most
dramatic career turn-arounds of the 1990's. It's
the story of just reward for a singer who
originally took country music by storm and
helped keep it true to its roots back in the
early '80's. His memorable hits from that
musical era included Wild and Blue, I'm Just An
Old Chunk Of Coal, 1959, I Just Came Home To
Count The Memories, Black Sheep and Swingin'.
Swingin' was not only the Country Music
Association's 1983 Song of the year; more
recently it was cited by the A.M.O.A. as one of
its all-time top-forty jukebox hits--right up
there with Hey Jude and other perennial
favorites by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank
Sinatra, Patsy Cline, George Jones, and The
Rolling Stones.

Sammy Kershaw
Kershaw's “comeback mission”
is driven by his dedicated, all consuming
passion to return to the music of his
raising--country music--to its rightful throne
on the radio airwaves and in the hands of the
fans.
Key to Sammy Kershaw's plan for country music in
re-claiming its roots and recapturing the spirit
that made it great: The recording studio. Sammy
recently aligned with the massive creative
engine of Koch/Audium Records—a label whose
innovative and aggressive move into the country
marketplace has been a major shot of adrenaline
to Nashville's Music Row. Like Kershaw, his new
label shares a vision for the future of country
music, as well as a deep respect for its roots .

Doug Stone
Doug Stone is widely
considered to be one of the much-ballyhooed wave
of videogenic and exciting new country artists
that bulldozed country music's landscape
beginning in 1989 and helped to redefine the
genre over the next ten years. That pack of
diverse artists also included current luminaries
such as Clint Black, Alan Jackson, Trisha
Yearwood, Garth Brooks and Travis Tritt.

Pam Tillis
Flipping through a Tillis
family scrapbook is like flipping through a
visual history of country music. Scattered among
pictures of late great solemn faced Tillis
ancestors you will run across a signed picture
to the Tillis kids from a young handsome Roger
Miller, Kris Kristofferson, or Webb Pierce. You
would also see snapshots of Mel hanging out with
his mentor Burl Ives in the Florida Keys, or
pictures of the Tillis kids singing with Porter
Wagoner, and Dolly Parton in the 1960s. However,
like any family scrapbook you would also find
pictures of work and play. Daddy Mel strumming a
guitar, BMI song writing award ceremony
pictures, and of course, pictures of Mel's
eldest child, Pam Tillis doing what came natural
to her…singing …in an environment wrapped in the
sweet blanket of music. Now, many years later,
Pam's newest project is woven with the same
tapestry of her childhood and the result is a
tribute to Mel and his classic songs. It's
something she's wanted to do for years.

Don Williams
There are few American
classics these days, but Don Williams is
certainly one of them. With a warm hickory
baritone that balances strength with a gentle
concern, he draws his listener into the intimate
world of an old friend, someone who cares deeply
about you and the quality of your life…and who
will always offer a hand when you need it. “I
don't think there's anything we have to do daily
in our walk that's more important than how we
deal with each other,” Williams confesses. “To
me, it's everything. So when you're looking for
songs, if they can express that, then you've
found something special.” Without a doubt
Williams, whose hits with the likes of Good Ole
Boys Like Me, I Believe In You, Love Is On A
Roll, Amanda and Tulsa Time, have always had a
knack for finding songs that speak directly to
people's hearts.
