"The Moran's 50th Anniversary"

Shampen was great! He brought his wife for assistance and the two of them were so nice. Shampen made a special music cd for our parents 50th anniversary with a picture of them on the cover. He dedicated a special song to them called "On the Way to Forever". There was not a dry eye in the place. His music was fun and his voice exceptional. A lot of people have called us since the party and told us how good Shampen was! We would hire Shampen again!!!

"Oxhorn Birthday Party"

Earl (Shampen) was FANTASTIC! Beyond fantastic. Everything about Earl is first class and his voice/music is absolutely incredible. He went way out of his way to make sure everything was perfect and it was. Everyone at the party could not stop talking about how wonderful the music was. I can't wait to have another party because I would never use anyone ever again accept for Earl. - Louise Oxhorn


"Barry & Sally"

Shampen was very accommodating and proffessional. I did not expect any dancing, it was more of a blues lounge atmosphere ,people could not help but dance to his great rythem..I would reccommend him for any size group. -Sally A, Beverly Hills, CA - Sally Abramson


"Marina Del Rey Party"

Not only were my husband and I pleased with Shampen, our guests were all quite impressed with his performance and selection of musical material. We received numerous raves from our guests as well as the staff at the CYC. My husband and I both highly recommend him. Shampen is a class act. -Gayle R, Marina Del Rey, CA - Gayle Reizes


"Birthday Party"

Absolutely wonderful.... Sang for my husband's 60th birthday party. Everyone felt like the party was for them because of the incredible entertainment. Great voice, so professional, great mix of songs! You won't be sorry! Would definately have him again. -Cheryl I, Nipomo, CA - Cheryl Iavicoli


"Chicago Wedding"

Dear Earl,

Well we are back to Chicago from our honeymoon (which was really great riding trains through the Canadian Rockies) and are trying to come down off the ceiling and settle in.

I want to thank you for a wonderful performance...I think...because MY mind is such a blur and can't remember much...but what I do remember was wonderful. We've had many, many comments of appreciation of the music. I wanted to create somewhat of a 1940's suppor club atmosphere...many said you accomplished that. One friend said she could have listened to you all night long...what a voice!

WEll, can I pick 'em or what?

It was not easy getting everything to all come out right, but it did. Thank you so much for whatever it took for you to play that different synth and make it a day to remember. Everyone says our wedding will be one to remember, that it was a total CLASS ACT! And you certainly played a big part in making it so.

MY main regret is it went by so fast...such a blur. I would have loved to just sat and drank champagne and listened to Shampen! So do me a favor and let me know if you're doing any other gigs in Chicago so I can drop by and just enjoy your gift. Hey, we love to cruise...can you get a gig on one of those...and I'll be there if I can.

Anyway, thanks again for being the greatest lounge lizzard...that's exactly what I wanted.

And may God bless you as Keith and I have been blessed.

Shirl and Keith - Shirl Roberts

Bio

My Name is Shampen, pronounced the same as the sparkling wine. I am a Keyboardist/Vocalist, The proverbial, "One Man Orchestra" My music is so full, that I've been known to intimidate bands. :-) I don't use Karaoke tracks or Music Minus One media, all of my sequences are programmed by me in my 'State Of The Art' studio, MidiCity Sound. When you listen to the audio files on this press kit, this is exactly the way I sound on the job. I specialize in any special event that requires quality music. I have a repertoire of over 1,000 songs that range from the 1920's to the 2000's. From BGM to a full dance party, I am completely self contained, with PA system and all of the equipment needed to do the job. I also partner up with other professional musicians from time to time, so I can offer any number of musicians from myself, to a complete corporate 15 piece Motown review show band. To see a list of the songs I do, please visit, http://www.theonemanorchestra.com. Please know that I am a music professional, and that you can depend on me, to be on time, well prepared and provide your guests with quality music and a real good time, to see some examples of my live performances please visit, http://tinyurl.com/6j67e2.
