Las Vegas Tribute Brothers Show and the Optimist International Raise the Stakes vs Childhood Cancer

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 07, 2009 – Clinton Twp., MI - Elvis Kelly and Michael Carluccio, known as the Las Vegas Tribute Brothers, sang with the voices and music of Las Vegas’s most celebrated stars:  Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Paul Anka, and Tom Jones.  Carluccio, who performs solo as the 1-Man Legend Show,  received some unexpected accompaniment from an audience chorus line as he saluted the “Big Apple’s” theme song, “New York, New York.”

Carluccio’s favorite presentation is his “Rat Pack” exhibition of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin, complete with banter between himself and the audience.  However, before his favorite shtick, it’s not unusual for Michael to get the entire audience warmed up with a Tom Jones music number followed by a medley of Neil Diamond and Paul Anka hits.

Local entertainment producer and music critic, Dennis Nazelli, claims that Michigan audiences are in for, “… a refreshing treat when their Vegas Legends’ act hits local stages.”  “First of all, the price of admission for the duo’s dinner show is so affordable that it will make skeptics wonder if these guys are just amateurs at the Capuchin Kitchen.”

“These guys are the real deal,” proclaimed Nazelli.  “Everybody is doing Elvis, and, there are hundreds of Sinatra pretenders,” he continued.  “But, there are very few acts that can do it all like these two local artists!”  Kelly and Carluccio have appeared as solo performers on the same stage.  Kelly has performed mostly as a solo act with his Elvis tribute show.  However, the act that they have put together is a first for them. They combine their individual talents in a 90-minute show celebrating the biggest Las Vegas names in show business.

In spite of their talent, the one factor that drives audiences to beg for more is their contact with their admirers during their show.  “I love performing outside of Las Vegas,” blushed Michael.  “In Vegas, they don’t allow us to get out and into the audience.  Here our singing goes beyond the eyes and ears; it gets inside and touches their hearts.”  

Carluccio’s schmaltzy sentiment may seem a bit over-dramatic.  Yet, his presentation depends on that voltage of connection with the audience.  As the “King of Rock ‘n Roll,” Elvis Kelly’s side of the stage is in stark contrast to Michael’s balladdeering.  Besparkled in radiant sequins, the King’s costumes leave nothing to the imagination for the star-struck crowds.  The king of the Elvis Presley impersonators shakes it up for his standing and frenzied audiences.

Kelly and Michael are both from Michigan and welcomed the opportunity to tour in their home state this fall and winter.  They are currently adding performances for afternoons and evenings.  Their favorite venues are weddings, fund raising events, lunch and dinner shows, Las Vegas Parties, corporate public relations/appreciation occasions, anniversaries, birthdays, holiday and theme celebrations, etc. The official website for the Las Vegas Tribute Brothers has an up-to-date schedule of their future bookings and contact information for their event manager at 248/766-4970.
