"Carl Topilow Music Director / Conductor"

“An outstanding vocalist with whom I had the pleasure of working with this past New Years Eve with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. A true professional in every sense, His smooth vocalism was matched by his emotional envolvement and satisfying delivery of each song. Our experience with Mr. Bourne was overwhelmingly positive and I would recommend him for future engagements with orchestras requiring a versatile and dynamic vocalist.

"Great Job tonight! The audience loved you- it was fun working with you. Thank you for your performance with the Pops. You are a showman and pro!" - Tucson Pops Orchestra


"Englewood, Florida Performing Arts Assoication"

Last month the Englewood Area Performing Arts Association presented Joe Bourne in concert. He “wowed” both our matinee and evening ticket holders. To refer to Joe Bourne as just a Great singer or entertainer would be an injustice.

From the moment Joe enters the stage, whether he is singing a beautiful ballad, a great jazz standard or just sharing entertaining stories, he creates a unique personal connection with his audience.

This talanted, courteous and professional entertainer is a “Presenters Dream.” I am pleased we had the opportunity to present Joe Bourne to the residents of Englewood, Florida.

- Judy Moore, President 2/8/08

It is my great pleasure to write this letter in behalf of Joe Bourne, an outstanding vocalist with whom I had the pleasure of performing this past New Year’s Eve with the Cleveland Pops Orchestra.

Mr. Bourne’s performance featured a variety of styles. His smooth vocalism was matched by his emotional involvement and satisfying delivery of each song. A true professional in every sense, he was totally prepared, easy to work with and musically and vocally very flexible.

Our experience with Mr. Bourne was overwhelmingly positive and I would recommend him for future engagements with orchestras requiring a versatile and dynamic vocalist.
