Recently completing his five hundredth show in Las Vegas to another standing room only audience, the charismatic Tom Stevens is heralded by his growing legion of fans as the best singer-impressionist performing today. His enchanting show has garnered the reputation as the Las Vegas show that audiences want to return to again and again. A native New Yorker, Tom Stevens began his career appearing in clubs on the East Coast. His incredible likeness of Dean’s looks and crooning abilities were put to the true test when he performed at the fourth annual Dean Martin Festival in Dean’s hometown, Steubenville, Ohio. The overwhelming response to Tom’s impression from not only Dino’s fans, but the people who knew Dean when he was Dino Crocetti, provided Tom with return engagements to headline the festival for all the years to come. At the festival, Tom had the pleasure of meeting and singing with Dean Martin’s daughter, Deana Martin Griffeth, who enthusiastically approved Tom’s portrayal of her father saying she’s “Never seen anyone look and sound more like my Daddy”. http://www.tomstevenstributes.com http://www.MichaelMasciLive.com
