RICHARD HALPERN:

"Mr. Tin Pan Alley"

1920s Jazz-Age Vocalist

***

Singing and dancing to the music of the 1920s, and early 1930s

Great entertainment for Weddings, Birthdays, Engagement Parties, Theme Nights, Casinos, Corporate and Private Events.

The vintage music scene is a very special entertainment niche that has been sweeping the nation and the world. More and more people are falling in love with the music of the first 30 years of the 20th century, and have embraced the songs in a big way! Now YOU can have this theme at your next event. Imagine you and your clients and guests entering the era of flappers and jazz babies, set to the music of the prohibition era. You can dance the night away to the sounds of the '20s, courtesy of vintage vocalist Richard Halpern and his musicians.

Richard Halpern carries the audience back to genteel times with his stellar show of pop tunes from the era of Tin Pan Alley. Imparting the essence of a wild and witty generation, the charming Jazz Singer takes you on a journey beginning in the 1910s, moves right on through the 1920s and finishes up somewhere in the early 1930s. With influences such as Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, Fanny Brice, and Sophie Tucker, Halpern’s show isn’t confined by nostalgia, rather it etches a new journey to the future.
