EARL COLE'S TRIBUTE SHOWS:

NEW YORK NEW YORK - A tribute to Frank Sinatra

Earl's very first performance was New York, New York. He is somewhat of a Sinatraphile and is an avid collector of Sinatra recordings and memorabilia.

New York, New York is a collection of Sinatra's best known songs spanning 5 decades. Earl has one of the most comprehensive Sinatra repertoires anywhere in the world with over 140 songs.

New York, New York will appeal to young and old alike - from those wanting to reminisce of days gone by to the new breed of 'lounge' music lover discovering the magic of Sinatra for the first time.

THE CROONERS

The great crooners of the forties, fifties and sixties are brought to life in Earl Cole's Tribute to the Crooners. Nat King Cole, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Perry Como, Andy Williams, Matt Monro, Sammy Davis Jnr, Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire and of course Sinatra feature in this fabulous presentation.

DEAN MARTIN

Dean Martin remains very popular and his recordings sell almost as strongly now as they did during his heyday.

Earl's voice and his tall, dark looks are ideally suited to covering Dean Martin. Earl does Deano (Dino) very, very well!

THE RAT PACK

In the late fifties and early sixties Frank Sinatra (the 'Chairman of the Board'), Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr were members of the Hollywood 'Rat Pack'. They sang together, hung out together and appeared in movies such as Oceans Eleven.

Earl sings some of their best known songs in his tribute to the Rat Pack.

NAT KING COLE

Earl is a huge Nat King Cole fan. He regards Nat's voice as being almost without peer and loves the sheer romance of his songs. Earl also deeply admires the man and his achievements.

Earl covers many Nat King Cole classics including Unforgettable, Mona Lisa, Nature Boy, Route 66 and L.O.V.E.

TONY BENNETT

Tony Bennett is widely considered to be one of the best interpretative singers of jazz and swing standards. His career has lasted almost 60 years and he remains as popular as ever.

Earl sings some of Tony Bennett's best known songs in this tribute to one of the last great 20th century crooners.

TRIBUTE SHOWS - DUO

MICHAEL BUBLE & NORAH JONES

Earl and 'Australian Idol' semi-finalist Chelsea J Gibson perform the hits of these leading contemporary artists. Other artists such as Eva Cassidy are also covered in this tribute and they sing many duets together.

Chelsea is one of Perth's best known and most versatile female vocalists. She has an amazing ability to sound just like Norah Jones. Her keyboard playing is equally impressive. Together their voices gell wonderfully well. They have performed this tribute overseas.

'UNFORGETTABLE' - THE MUSIC OF NAT KING COLE AND NATALIE COLE

Earl and Chelsea J Gibson present the very best of the wonderful Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie Cole. Natalie never performed with her father who passed away when she was only a child. She has enjoyed a stellar recording career winning 8 Grammy's.

Complimenting the silky tones of Earl, the extremely versatile Chelsea will cover Natalie's early R&B career as well as her most recent jazz and pop recordings. They also perform a number of duets together including the classic 'Unforgettable'.

DISCO INFERNO

During a successful Malaysian tour in November 2008, Earl Cole, together with Perth vocalist Chelsea J Gibson performed a Michael Buble and Norah Jones tribute at a major awards night. At the end of the awards presentation they did a dance set stacked with 70's disco tunes - for a bit of fun. The response was fantastic. Upon returning to Perth, Earl promptly started putting together a 70's disco show featuring Chelsea and the added visual of the Earl Cole dancers.

With great songs, explosive dance routines and 70's costumes, Disco Inferno is a floor show tailor made for corporate clients or functions and events with a 70's theme.
