THIS MUST BEGIN WITH ELVIS, because Tony Roi's show takes me back to the more than 200 Elvis shows I was privileged to attend in the '70s. It's all there...the voice, the look, the moves, the charisma, the love, the sincerity, the humbleness, the electricity...the thrill of it all! Surrounding me are people of all ages and backgrounds enjoying this magnificient performance: an 18-month old little girl sits on her young mother's lap and is laughing, clapping and jumping for joy throughout the entire two-hour show; on the row in front of me is a 78-year old great-grandmother who spends most of the show up on her feet and dancing along with Tony's every move; couples of all ages (I met young honeymooners and one couple celebrating their 62nd anniversary), families with small children, families with teenagers, and extended families abound and, of course, women of all ages. It's the same as at an Elvis show....Tony Roi, also, appeals to all ages.
The variety of songs is most entertaining including songs from all three Elvis eras, from ballads, to ol' time rock 'n roll, gospel, patriotic....Tony Roi sings them all. Never have I heard an entertainer step out of the box and profess his Christianity and actually say a prayer (referring to our veterans and soldiers currently fighting for our country) on stage.
His band members, back-up singers: Mandy and Anna Maria, along with the technicians: Tanner, Shelby and Richard are all superb. The Music City Centre is a wonderful setting with comfortable seats, good sound, nice climate-control and a a gracious staff in Richard and Crystal. The on-stage photo session with high-quality professional photographs available immediately after the show, thanks to the speedy work-team of Sherry and Donna, is a wonderful opportunity and most enjoyable.
Tony Roi's love for his fans is expressed most thoughtfully as he stands in the lobby, exhausted from a two-hour performance, autographing photographs, CDs, scarfs and posing for photographs until every fan has been greeted...then and only then, could anyone say TONY ROI HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.
