Acclaimed as the "closest thing to the King", Jesse possesses the voice, looks and charisma that made Elvis a superstar. His Vegas-style rendition is a consistent fan favorite that draws audiences in from the minute he walks on stage and leaves them standing at the end of the performance. Jesse sings the songs that cross three generations of rock, pop, gospel and oldies music so his act has universal appeal. He is a natural front-man, interacting with the crowd at all times and signing autographs after the show. FREE for all.
A few words come to mind when thinking about Tony Bennett: elegance, style, sophistication, tradition, integrity, longevity, icon, and American classic…to name only a few.

Funny Poop
· Bill, age 20, and Sam, age 75, are pushing their carts around Home Depot, when they collide.
Sam says to Bill, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
Bill says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."
Sam says, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?"
Bill answers "Well, she is 24, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top, and no bra... What does your wife look like?"
Sam replies, "Doesn't matter...let's look for yours."

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!

Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
