Joe Callura
Oldies Shows, Tom Jones Tribute Shows performed with band or backing tracks;
Single Stage; vocalist/performer
Single
Joe Callura's stage presence is second to none, displaying explosive energy, glittery costuming, humour and most importantly an ability to reach out and touch his audiences.
From his early years Joe was found to have pure raw vocal talent as the principal vocalist in school choirs to fronting rock bands and orchestras. Along the way he had his own banquet/bar band, "Breezin' with Joe Callura", for some 15 years but most notably performed on weekends in the late 60s in his home town at Hamilton's hottest dance club (Club Continental), where he first started to perform as a Tom Jones tribute artist, while at the same time supporting himself during his school years.
At the young age of 19 Joe turned down an RCA Victor recording career in favour of finishing university, which ultimately led to a professional accounting degree as a Chartered Accountant. To this day he runs his own full time public accountancy practice by day but continues to be a professional vocalist by night. This strange combination has been the subject of television episodes on programs such as the CTV National News and the Rogers TV Prosperity Show as well as numerous newspaper and magazine articles.
In 1994, after a long hiatis, Joe was invited to bring his Tom Jones routine out of the closet and to perform it in a high level Legend show in Toronto, after which he was immediately invited to appear at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. Since then Las Vegas has been a regular stop for this performer as well as other US and Canadian cities. Locally Joe has performed in such prestigious venues such as Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto and Hamilton Place. His Tom Jones act has become a popular product for numerous Legend Show promoters. In that Joe performs some 500 songs of various artists spanning diverse vocal styles such as Bocelli to Bee Gees, he has evolved as an accomplished general stage entertainer, although he continues to be best known as one of the world's premier Tom Jones tribute artists. Additionally he has created his own show, "Simply Entertainment", which showcases many of the other performers that he has met along the way as well as himself. Most recently Joe completed his first recording called "Love From Many Angles" which offers 12 original songs of varying styles.
Whether you want to hire Joe to perform his solo Tom Jones act, his solo Vegas Vocalist/Entertainer act or to engage him to put together a full legends based show, the resultant entertainment product and related cost will be catered to your personal budget. For the smaller budgets Joe vocalizes live to pre-recorded musical background tracks and for the larger venues he uses live bands ranging from 4 pieces to as much as a 13 piece orchestra.
"Powerful", "Emotional" and "Wide Ranging" are just some of the terms used to describe Joe's vocal talents. It has been regularly commented that "your voice sent chills running down my spine". His stage presence is second to none, displaying explosive energy, glittery costuming, humour and most importantly an ability to reach out and touch his audiences. After seeing one of Joe's energetic performances YOU will be exhausted.
