CroonerEd Shows
"Hardly anybody knows this, but I'm really quite famous."

A CroonerEd show is a highly interactive,

captivating journey of

music, video, and entertainment.

 

As he performs lively swing numbers and romantic ballads from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole and others, he often wanders off stage and into the audience inviting guests to sing along, trade places, dance, and enjoy fun, memorable moments. It's a terrific night of entertainment which usually includes some hilarious musical comedy, great story telling, and moments that tug at your heart.

 Most all CroonerEd shows are just him,

along with his wonderfully entertaining background videos on a big screen(s)

constantly playing while Ed performs live. Most find the video backgrounds are

a terrific and welcome alternative from a live band.

However, to make your event even more special and memorable (and costly),

Ed can bring all or part of an amazingly talented jazz ensemble.

Ed has been entertaining audiences for over 20 years, recorded several albums, and enjoys millions of views at YouTube.com/@CroonerEd, Instagram (@InstaCroonerEd), music streaming and social media sites.

Just Inquiring
 

A Pianist and a Crooner

Captivating audiences with raw, soulful simplicity

An Intimate Acoustic Concert

 

CroonerEd and Jon Michael Ogletree's 90-minute acoustic shows are like a long awaited visit from a great friend. It's old-school charm and talent featuring powerful vocals and incredible piano playing of favorite standards like

"Fly Me To the Moon," "Moon River,"

"The Way You Look Tonight,"

"It Had to Be You," and

"I've Got You Under My Skin." 

Helping set the mood is a large video screen playing clips from favorite "old" movies behind them. As Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers dance and Audrey Hepburn smiles, the

music, romance and charm comes alive.

Standing only 3'8" tall, Jon Michael Ogletree is a "poet on the piano" who stands tall with his amazing talent as the "world's shortest professional piano player." CroonerEd serves as your host, story teller, and velvety toned crooner in this unforgettable evening of

romance, nostalgia, and laughter.

Outstanding Reviews

We had such a wonderful time! A really terrific, quality singer who would make Sinatra proud. He is very professional and lots of fun. The standing ovation and encore was great to see. It felt like an after dinner show at a fancy club. Thank you CroonerEd...see you again soon!
