New York City Swing:

Whether it's a White House inaugural, Grammies after-party, or a Sopranos wedding (actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler�s), New York City Swing has always been the band to call. Liz Smith raved in her column..."The New York City Swing Band had revved up the crowd to total madness," and Geraldo Rivera said in his toast at a recent party, "This is beyond a doubt the best band I've ever seen at a party." They've backed up such legends as The Four Tops, Lou Rawls, Roberta Peters and Chuck Berry. Whether in tuxedos or Zoot Suits, these dynamic, versatile performers fire up audiences with Big Band Swing, '50's, '60's, Rock and Motown, as well as '70's, Top 40 and Disco. New York City Swing arrives on site with a full road crew and professional sound equipment. See www.nycswing.com. Videos available upon request.

This former WWE superstar currently wrestles and manages on indie cards, regularly appears at comic and other conventions, and is a colorful hostess at special club events and bar openings or at any personal appearance.

Tama Waipara

From the land of the Whale Rider and Lord of the Rings� New Zealand� comes "The Maori in Manhattan." An accomplished singer/songwriter/guitarist, he was the sensation of this summer's Central Park SummerStage festival. His critically acclaimed CD, "Triumph of Time" is out on Obliq Sound and is a unique mix of classic poetry, Shakespeare, and Maori chants with jazz, R&B; and world beat elements mixed in. Nobody sounds like Tama and you can hear for yourself at www.obliqsound.com.

A former main-eventer for the legendary Calgary Stampede Promotion, this veteran is a world traveler, having appeared in Trinidad, England, Wales, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and a variety of other stops. Presenting his classic "foreign heel" gimmick, he's faced such legends as Jerry Lawler, Sabu and King Kong Bundy in the ring. A perfect addition to any wrestling card.
