Meet the man of many voices.... Part 1

Hey all. So this is blog post # 2 this week. Should be back to a Sunday routine  unless we have something special going on.... thanks for all of your support.  Stay tuned as we will be adding some promo items for you to check out down the road.... They will be at the end of each blog post when warranted.  For now, let's meet one of the greats in the Biz. THE MAN OF MANY VOICES....

Greg Martiello

I met Greg some years ago. Then met him again at a Patti Lattanzi event. ( stay tuned for a Patti Blog in the near future.....great stuff !)

Greg seen here with Patti Lattanzi, Billy Carlucci, Tom Delcorio and more..... 

If you are in the Swell area, of N.J. .... join us on Friday Evening for a great show of talent !

Other talents performing this evening that we know and love are Holly Faris and John Monforto.... I'm so excited to meet some of the others..... 

Getting back to Greg..... his voice is so incredible to be able to sound like so many of the great entertainers we know and love in the industry. Many of them have unique voices and not everyone can imitate that. Greg puts his heart and soul into each "voice" he portrays.... including his own. Check him out in this short clip....

Greg considers himself a singing impersonator yet he does a fabulous Rodney Dangerfield and is known for that impression as well.  Greg started at a young age. He always had music around him. Greg's brother was confined to a wheelchair due to an accident. Music was what kept his spirits high and Greg listened to music with him much of the time. In listening to music, Greg realized that he could actually sound like some of the greats he would listen to.  He says that some voices take a little more practice than others yet he is able to catch onto them pretty quickly.

Today, Greg has traveled the Country doing impersonations of some of our best beloved singers....

We will follow up with Greg after the show this week....so again, if you are in the area, stop in.
If not , catch the follow up in a couple of weeks.  Thanks, Greg for making us smile ! See you soonB
Find Greg on Face Book and You tube.... more to come !
