WHAT IS "THE KING AND THE CLASSICS" SHOW?
A concert in formal attire (tuxedo) with Rick Ludwig performing some of the most legendary singers of all-time including 1) The King - Elvis Presley and 2) The Classics - Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, Bobby Darin & Frankie Valli, just to name a few. An optional twist to this show is for Rick to add costumes of some of these artists, as he does in his i-Man Show.
WHO IS RICK LUDWIG (HISTORY)?
Rick Ludwig is one of the Midwest's best kept secrets when it comes to variety style vocal performance and impersonations of the greatest singers since the 1950s until the present. Rick sings over 130 different songs from over 30 different artists spanning over 50 years and he also impersonates many of these artists with costumes or hilarious props. Rick's incredible 4 octave range (from bass to falsetto) allows him to do almost any song made for a man (and them some). From the Oakridge Boys to Frankie Valli, Rick keeps his audiences on their toes as to what he will sing next.
Rick has performed (sang) at over 3,000 shows from 1990-present, including wedding ceremonies, wedding receptions, corporate parties, karaoke shows, singing telegrams, senior citizen centers, casino shows and even funerals. He began singing in public at a very young age of four in church, performing special numbers. The love for singing has always been in his blood! He is a natural when it comes to singing like the original artists and impersonating their famous moves! Rick has even been compared to the late, great Vegas entertainer/singer/impersonator Danny Gans, by some big fans of Danny's that saw his show several times.
Rick performs the oldies, classic country, new country (including hits on the radio today), classic pop and rock & roll songs and even contemporary Christian and gospel songs. He also likes to throw in a few Patriotic and a few silly songs every now and then by Ray Stevens.
