Cater 2 U Banquet Facility
Mount Laurel, NJ
Sunday, November 13th, 2005

A complete sellout to the popular catering facility in Mount Laurel, where Joe and his band, led by Jackie Browne, Dave Zipse, Gary Vernon and Tony Sianni put on a show for people that was not only the hot topic in the rest rooms but as they were walking out the door to get into their cars!

As Joe worked his magic through the room, the women were gasping with anticipation as he would approach their tables, and when the moment came, they were presented not only with a rose, but a kiss, because it was then that it became obvious there was a one on one connection between Joe and that lucky woman. and this occurred throughout the night from one table to the next as he sang his romantic songs.

The night started with the band playing dinner music, followed by Tom Del Moore singing his songs of Sinatra to the crowd before the man with 'The Voice' entered the room. There were Tom Jones and Engelbert fans in the room including the president of the Engelbert fan club.

Seventeen songs followed with over an hour of singing and performing to an anxious crowd. And to make a connection with the men is also one of Joe's strong points. One gentleman came up to him after the show and said, you are not just a singer, you are a real performer!

That's when you know that you succeeded in giving the audience a complete show!

Caroline’s Restaurant & Banquet Facility
Secane, PA
Sunday, November 6th, 2005

It was a very special night for about 200 people in the banquet room of Caroline’s Restaurant. It was also Joe's first performance there as well. The dinner show started out with incredible food for the fans. Many thanks to the owners, Steve and Tom Bayliss and their hard working staff for making this large event a success.

The Acoustics didn’t disappoint anyone with their interpretations of The Everly Brothers, Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles and much much more. Their harmonies brought people back to those days when music was peaceful to listen to.

The raffle that was held for little Catherine Coskey and her rare blood disease will help her and her family cope a little more with the financial burden of a devastating illness and hopefully someday bring a cure for this courageous little girl!

Well, what can we say about Joe and his Band! Jackie Browne, Dave Zipse, Gary Vernon and Tony Sianni were cookin’ and Joe was right on target with his 23 Songs! straight though with no break! He performed for about one and a half hours and he looked tireless. His romantic ballads, (Still, Can’t Take My Eyes Off Of You, After The Lovin’, Love Me With All Of Your Heart) bringing roses out to the ladies and of course, stealing kisses with every single rose he handed out.

Of course those high energy songs like, Who Can handle Me Is You, She’s A Lady, an upbeat version of Release Me, Kiss, Delilah and many more. And just when the audience thought the show was over, Jackie Browne starts beating the bass drum and Joe comes back out to close the show with the incredible fast paced Resurrection Shuffle! It was a memorable night for all!

Corky and his wife, Laurie made Joe feel so at home, it was like being around family with all the laughs and antics that made the entire night just fly by as you can tell from these pictures. What a warm, terrific couple to spend an evening with.

There were also two lucky listeners who answered trivia questions and each of them was awarded a pair of tickets for the November 13th show!

One particular listener, Darla, called in to say, when she closed her eyes she felt as if she was hypnotized by Joe’s singing. Hypnotized, now there’s a first! Thanks Darla!

Never the less, Corky and Joe got along so well, that he gave Joe an open invitation to come on the show again. Don’t be surprised if Joe takes him up on that too!

Creekside Village
Boothwyn, PA
Saturday, October 1, 2005

It was a memorable evening at this wonderful community in Boothwyn, PA. Joe felt lucky to perform at their beautiful Club House. Thanks to Sandy Fanelli of Creekside Village who made all of this possible!

What an incredible performance for a fabulous audience who sat at their tables as they were transcended back to the days of Atlantic City's 500 Club, or possibly Palumbo's in South Philly or even the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Those days were brought back for this special crowd as Joe worked his magic in the Club House banquet room. The photos will tell the story and do they ever!

Songs like, She's A Lady, Delilah, The Wonder Of You, Viva Las Vegas, After The Lovin' and A Man Without Love, had the women yelling out for more and some of these ladies were very feisty!

It looks like Joe has made new fans that will visit him at other shows as well. But don't be surprised if he is back for another special performance at Creekside Village in the future. It was a very special evening for everyone who resides in this resort like community!

K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons at Weatherby
Woolwich, NJ
Saturday, August 20, 2005

It was a very successful grand opening at the wonderful Active Adult Community. What an upscale event that the management team from K. Hovnanian put on!

A special thanks to Shelly Gephart who was responsible for making the initial setup for Joe and the band to perform. Also, thanks to the rest of the incredible administrative team: Bob Razler, Marybeth Fulgham, Jim Cinelli, Nancy McTamney and Jack McGoldrick.

They all made Joe and the band feel extremely welcome along with Karen Venditti, who booked the event for Joe and the band. In fact, they invited Joe and Jackie Browne, Joe's drummer, back to Botto's Restaurant, the famous Swedesboro, NJ dining and banquet facility.

The people of that private gated community were so receptive to the music that Joe sang for them, that they want Joe to come back again for their next event. They danced and waved their arms up in the air cheering the music. The band, well, as usual, they were cooking!

Joe definitely made new fans at Four Seasons and he responded by giving another incredible performance!

The Duprees Concert, Burlington Amphitheater
Burlington, NJ
Saturday, August 13, 2005

Joe paid a special visit to see the fabulous Duprees perform before a crowd of about 800 at the beautiful outdoor setting of the Burlington Amphitheater.

Joe and The Duprees with lead singer, Tommy Petillo, Tony Testa, Phil Granito and Jimmy Spinelli performed together once before at Medford, New Jersey's Flying W Airport Resort. It was a great night for rehashing and for Joe, watching the ultimate performers at work again was just pure magic!

Tony Testa, the group's spokesperson and front man, told Joe that they would enjoy working with him again.

You never know what's ahead in the near future!

Moores Inlet
North Wildwood, NJ
Saturday, July 23, 2005

The pictures will tell the story. Special thanks to Fran D'Alonzo for taking these great photos.

There were some family & friends, children and adults, ages 1 to 85, and although most of Moores Inlet patrons didn't know Joe Polito, they got to witness for the first time the magnitude of his voice and stage presence. Many thanks to the owners of Moores Inlet and Eli at Apollo Artists for booking Joe and the band.

Speaking of the band, man, were they cooking! Many compliments went out to them as they cranked up the songs during the night. Songs like: 'Kiss', 'Delilah', 'Hard To Handle', 'She's A Lady', 'Viva Las Vegas', 'Nothin' But A Woman' and many more. And of course, those powerful ballads such as, 'Still',' Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You', 'I'll Never Fall In Love Again', 'Green Green Grass Of Home' and 'Love Me With All Of Your Heart' just to name a few.

There were 2 hours of songs and of course, Joe bringing the show to the crowd, receiving kisses from all of the women as he handed out single roses!

The show closed with the song, 'Resurrection Shuffle' and it pumped the crowd up so much that after Joe left the stage, they were screaming, "More, More, More! What's New Pussycat. What's New Pussycat!!!"

Joe finally had to oblige them and this time brought six women on stage to sing their requested song! What a feisty group of women they were too!

You will have to check out Moores Inlet website when they get those photos posted to see what we mean. www.mooresinlet.com

Palm trees behind the stage with a beach and a view of the ocean. You couldn't ask for "moore" of a tropical setting!

Joe sings Engelbert's version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You' in the very beginning of the show and comes back out later in the second portion to sing Tom Jones, "Help Yourself," so listen to the entire show, you will not be disappointed!

The singers that were on the show were so incredible with a packed room at Ventura's that it was the most enjoyable night Joe had so far, and each time, each show before was incredible with talent and fun… nothing but laughs, laughs and more laughs. Anyone can come out to watch the radio show every Thursday night at 178 Rt. #73 in Voorhees and grab a great meal while you are there. Ventura's phone number is 856-767-7400.

Holy Saviour Parrish Diamond Ball
Westmont, NJ
Friday, May 20, 2005

What a phenomenal show last night! Joe sang with his band to a packed house in the McDaid Gym. There were over 300 people there who witnessed a show which was nothing less than spectacular. Joe and the band performed 23 songs in two sets, a mixture of high energy and romantic ballads.

Kevin Rodeo of Spell Caster Productions provided sound and lighting. Much thanks to Kevin for providing Nick on sound and Tim on lighting who were dead on throughout the night.

When Joe performed his last song, 'Resurrection Shuffle', Tim's timing with working the lights provided the added effect at the right time which the crowd responded with applause.

To the band - much credit is due to Jackie Browne, the 'Buddy Rich' style drummer who put this band together, with such great musicians as: Tony Sianni on bass, Gary Vernon on guitar and the musical director and keyboard player, Dave Zipse.

Not only was the show a huge success, but numerous people in attendance were approaching the organizers of this event for information on how to book Joe and the band for their fund raisers and special events that their organization is planning in the future!

Memorial Hall
Hockessin, DE
Friday, May 13, 2005

Joe made a surprise visit to a big fan of his who just turned 80! An email was received, followed by a phone call from Karen Gebhart who is in charge of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Hockessin Fire Company.

Karen asked Joe when his next show would be in their area so they could take Millie, who just turned 80, to see Joe perform once again.

Millie saw Joe sing his songs in February of this year for the first time at Memorial Hall and she was smitten by his voice and personal attention to the audience.

When asked by the Ladies' Auxiliary if they could take her to a concert of a certain popular world famous entertainer, she said she would rather see Joe perform somewhere.

That's when Joe decided to visit her at a surprise birthday party that was held for Millie. The timing was perfect, as it happened to be an off night for Joe, so he brought an autographed CD and 8x10 photo and, of course, he sang 'Happy Birthday' to her as well!

St. Anthony's Lodge
Downingtown, PA
Friday, May 6, 2005

People from the Downingtown and West Chester areas of Pennsylvania were in for a real treat Friday night with good food and great entertainment!

Joe also had some fans come in from the Lancaster, PA area as well to see the show. First off, the announcer for the evening was radio personality, Pete Michaels. (yes, there is another Pete Michaels, besides Joe's good friend, the Comic/Ventriloquist from NY)

No wonder Nancy Sinatra is so impressed with this young crooner, who is not quite 16 years old yet, but he provides entertainment like a seasoned veteran. James, besides singing the Sinatra tunes, tells a story like Sinatra between songs.

Joe performed to a crowd for the first time in that area and they become fans as well. Joe worked his magic through the crowd singing those romantic ballads and then kicked it into high gear on stage with the ever popular energized songs of Tom Jones.

People hung around after the show and had much to talk about as they were surprised by the quality of entertainment they received from both James and Joe.

Another fun filled, successful evening!

Liam's Piano Bar
Bear, DE
Friday, March 25, 2005

You just never know where Joe may show up on an off night! Pianist, Dave Zipse who performs his music on the grand piano at Liam's on Route #40 in Bear, asked Joe to stop by and sing some songs.

Now Joe & Dave have worked together before, so it was like old times once again. Joe got to sing some Tom Jones tunes with the only music being played by Dave on the piano, and the patrons received an unexpected treat.

The owner's mom who is a Tom Jones fan even came out of the kitchen for Joe's version of TJ. Many asked if he could come back & sing again. You never know, Joe may have found a new hangout to let loose & belt out some songs once in a while. Just keep tuned in for another possible JP sighting!

Memorial Hall
Hockessin, DE
Friday, February 11, 2005

Over three hundred people got to witness another incredible show with Doug Church, Joe Polito, and a Reba McEntire Impersonator who goes by her first name - Marie. You can check out Marie on her website at www.marieba.net

The largely Delaware crowd was surprised that Joe was a resident of the First State because most of his performances are done outside the state.

Well, it didn't take long for the audience to crowd around Joe for photos and to get his website information. This was the most requests for photos that Joe has had at any of his shows. Just check out the 'Galleries' section of the website and you'll see what we're talking about.

Marie just charmed the audience with her beautiful voice and striking resemblance to Reba!

Of course, Doug wowed the all those Elvis fans once more with his incredible performance.

The Three Little Bakers Dinner Theater
Wilmington, DE
Friday, January 28th, 2005

It doesn't get any better than this past Friday night at The Three Little Bakers! Electrifying, Amazing, Incredible, are just some of the words that the audience used to describe the show for over one thousand Connectiv Power's credit union members.

Mario Rocco was asked if he can 'out do' himself from the show he put on last year, and the answer is YES by leaps and bounds!

With the addition of the six piece band, JABARI, featuring the sweet sounds on the saxophone by: Carlton L. Cannon Jr., trumpet: Gerald Chavis, keyboards: Jeff Knoettner, guitar: Ron Smith, bass: Karl McNeill, and on drums, the amazing Vernell "Dooder" Mincey. Many thanks to these very professional musicians that made the show a much bigger success than even last year!

Joe was able to perform his choreographed dance moves to 'Kiss' easily because every note was played exactly the way the arrangements were written.

Mario Rocco has to be given 'hats off' for producing a top Las Vegas style show that any Casino would be proud to have in their theater.

Also many thanks to The Three Little Bakers sound and lighting crew that added another dimension to the show and to vocalist Billy Logue, Mario Padovani on piano, Paul Janocha of Ken-Del Studios, the shows coordinator & his wonderful direction which made everything run smoothly.

To the Delaware Military Academy for their marching to the music while Mario sang 'American Soldier', and as the large American flag was lowered from the stage ceiling, seven year old Samantha Epstein recited The Pledge of Allegiance, which brought goose bumps and tears to the eyes of everyone in the audience!

Adelphia Banquet Room
Deptford, NJ
Friday, December 31st, 2004

What an incredible way to top off the end of 2004 and to begin the new year, 2005! Joe had the pleasure once again to work with The Legendary, Doug Church and what a night it was! As Joe made his way through the audience of 250, while performing his romantic songs, he would pick out random females and sing especially for them. Some of the females seemed to momentarily forget who escorted them there, either their husbands or boyfriends, as they just fell into the moment when Joe sang to them.

Doug Church with his stunning black sequined jump suit, swooned all those Elvis fans, because when he performs, Doug is Elvis!

Another memorable night for both Doug & Joe. Happy New Year to everyone!

Amici's Restaurant
Bayonne, NJ
Saturday, December 11th, 2004

Joe performed for the first time at Amici’s Restaurant to a very excited female audience! By far, this audience was the most energetic crowd of female fans that Joe has ever encountered. Good friend, Joe Matechak gathered almost 50 people that came to the Haremza Foundation Shows at the Hi Hat Grand Ball Room, not counting the patrons of Amici’s.

Then, an unexpected surprise…comic Pete Michaels, who just finished his show in Brooklyn, NY drove over to see his pal, Joe perform. It was reminiscent of the Rat Pack days. The audience loved it! Females from the audience came on stage a number of times to dance to the songs as if it were choregraphed!

And the PANTIES, there were too many to count! If Joe receives the photos that were taken from the show, they will be put in the Galleries section for all to see! Incredible show!

Pennsauken High School
Pennsauken, NJ
Saturday, October 23, 2004

At least 300 people were treated to an event that they will be talking about for a long, long time. Joe treated the audience to songs which put them in such a high energy and romantic mood, that when Doug Church came out on stage, those Elvis fans were pumped up for a performance of a lifetime.

To the credit of Sweet Water, the band that had only one rehearsal with Doug, their performance put a life and energy into the songs that made Doug’s performance all that more incredible!

Joe definitely made new fans, as well as compliments from the band members of Sweet Water for his strong vocal talent. More than several people told Joe that he was blessed with a beautiful voice. His sexy moves and romantic gestures caused a stir, for when Joe asked for a female to come up on stage to help him with "What’s New Pussycat?," the response was so good that Joe brought up two women instead of just one. As usual, another successful performance!

Heritage Hills Golf Resort
York, PA
Friday, October 1, 2004

Joe performed to a packed room at this upscale Resort to an audience that gave loud applause & sang along to Delilah almost word for word! It was Joe’s first show with Doug Church and again he has proved why he is ‘The Voice of Elvis!’ Just an incredible performance.

Although it’s been several years, Joe got to perform again with good friend Tom Sadge. There just isn’t a better Neil Diamond impersonator anywhere that can come close to the likeness & performance that Tom gives the audience.

The crowd was treated to two of the very best in the business, Tom & Doug. The added bonus was that Joe was brought on as a surprise guest, and how he wooed them! The crowd couldn’t believe how incredible a show that they were given by all three performers and the antics they pulled, Doug, Tom & Joe enjoy clowning around before & after the show… as you can see in the photos.

We Care HIV/AIDS Support Network
8th Annual Fundraiser, Viva Las Vegas
Wilkes Barre, PA
Sunday, September 12th, 2004

Just look at the photos in the Galleries page & you will know how incredible a time Joe had at this fundraiser.

Joe would like to thank Kim Carney for asking Joe to be a part of this very special event. Joe was referred to Kim by good friend, Tom Sadge, the best Neil Diamond Impersonator around.

Also to Andy Buleza, for allowing Joe to perform a 2 set show for a crowd of about 200! Andy is the President & co-founder of this terrific organization to help HIV & AIDS victims in the NE PA area.

Through Andy and the rest of the board members hard work, they are able to put together a show with delicious food, drink & performers that had everyone in awe of how they were able to bring to NE PA a large portion of Las Vegas style entertainment, which included, Celebrity Hosts, Kim Martucci and Lyndall Stout of NE PA’s, WBRE-TV 28 News Team!

But it’s your donations that are needed to continue this worthwhile cause. Please, send anything that you can afford to WE Care P.O. Box 1013, Wilkes Barre, PA 18703. Also see their website at www.wecarewb.org!

Thursday September 9th & Friday, September 10th, 2004

Joe was introduced to Doug Church, the best "Elvis Presley Tribute Artist" in the business today, through Doug’s manager Pat Schaller on Thursday when both Joe & Doug did a radio interview at Mama Ventura’s restaurant in Vorhees, NJ. The radio interview on FM 92.1 Vineland, NJ, featured both these entertainers singing several songs & will be aired Thursday, September 16th, and re-aired again on Tuesday, September 21st. 92.1 FM can be heard in DE & Philly for those who want to tune in.

Joe spent quite some time getting to know Doug, and what Joe admired most about this Elvis Tribute Artist, is his down to earth personality. You wouldn’t know Doug was in show business, he’s a very genuine person who Joe would be proud to call his friend.

Also, the next night on Friday, the 10th, Doug performed at the prestigious Pine Hill Golf Club, in Pine Hill, NJ, where Joe witnessed for himself, how great Doug really is. And to everyone’s surprise, including Joe, Doug asked him to come up and sing a Tom Jones song to the audience.

After Joe’s song, the applause was just incredible, Thanks Doug! (Doug just happened to have “I’ll Never Fall In Love Again” ready for Joe to sing)

Check out Doug on the web at www.dougchurchusa.com, it’s a show you won’t want to miss.

Opening Act For Johnny Maestro & The Brooklyn Bridge!
The Flying W Airport Resort
Medford, NJ
Sunday, August 22, 2004

The outdoor concert at The Flying W Airport Resort was a total success! Joe was complimented several times by Johnny Maestro for his voice and the notes he was able to reach during the show, and of course the main act was nothing less than incredible.

Also, Joe just didn’t have enough CD’s because they sold out in such a short time. He also met a lot of Johnny Maestro fans that want to know when Joe is performing again at The Flying W.

The New York fans of Mr. Maestro were asking Joe to please come to the Big Apple and perform sometime soon.

Because of the overwhelming response of the crowd that made Joe feel very welcome, it will be a night not to be forgotten and hopefully Joe will be asked to open again for Mr. Maestro in the future.

The Flying W Airport Resort
Medford, NJ
Saturday, July 31, 2004

What a show! People left the performance Saturday night saying words such as, 'Incredible', 'Terrific' & 'Unbelievable'! One audience member actually said that he has seen shows in Las Vegas that were not as good as this one!

Mario Rocco & Marty Walsh put on a show that everyone was so impressed with, even Frank DeNinno of The Flying W Airport Resort commented that they were a very polished act. Mario also performed his solo songs & impressions that he is well known for. He is a real showman that knows how to work a crowd.

Many thanks to Pete Michaels for bringing his stellar comedic talents to the Flying W once again and for teaming up with his Philly pal, Joe Polito.

The All Star Singers again came through providing backup for Joe and also did incredible jobs with their solo songs during Joe's costume changes.

So many people including the performers commented how well the sound was in that room, and it is all because of the meticulous talents of Ralph Alesi of All Star Entertainment. Thanks Ralph!

Also, this time, Joe had his own lighting system at the show, with lighting operation conducted by Kaitlin Lunny, and assisted by Dennis Fricker. Many thanks to the lighting crew!

It was also Joe's first colaboration with pianist, Dave Zipse. In fact, the crowd thought that both Joe & Dave performed together many times before!

Joe got together with good friends, Mario Rocco & Marty Walsh for a great cause in raising money for Holy Angels School in support of their sports activities for their children.

It was a great success and especially surprising because Joe met Larry Cassidy, one of his West Catholic High School fellow alumni's, who last saw each other back on graduation day.

Proving how important the athletic program is, Larry's son won a National Wrestling Championship 2 years now, because of programs like this one!

The Tom Jones Show at Resorts
Saturday, November 8th, 2003

This past Saturday, Joe went to see Tom Jones perform Live at The Resorts Casino, in Atlantic City. "This was by far the most incredible show that I have seen by anyone, including past performances by 'The Voice' himself. The selection of Tom's songs, the lighting, his dancing, and not to mention his voice, was absolutely incredible. Women from their 20's and up threw at least 30 pairs of undergarments on stage. The men in the audience were giving him standing ovations. The electricity in that room because of TJ's performance put myself in total 'awe'." Joe went on to say that the dance moves that Tom displayed were very similar to the moves he made 20 or more years ago. "Tom Jones has definitely a renewed sense of vitality, and the goatee he now has is very complimentary for him. It is also obvious that it would be very hard for younger performers of today to match the performance that Tom Jones is now displaying in his current International tour. Even if you're not a Tom Jones fan, without a doubt you will enjoy this show. What an experience!"

The show at the Flying W Airport Resort in Medford, NJ on Friday, September 26th was just incredible! Much thanks to Frank DeNinno at the Flying W for bringing Joe, Andrea and Lorrie back for a 3rd time! The Amelia Earhart Room was filled with people ranging in age from their 20's to 80's!
Joe can't wait to perform there again!

Good friend Pete Michaels, who is the funniest comic/ventriloquist in the business today, opened the show and set the tone for what was the most fun, laughter and entertainment filled evening the Flying W has seen in quite some time.
Thanks Pete!

Just 6 days later Joe and the girls performed for Motiva Corporation on Thursday, October 2nd at the beautiful Christiana Hilton in Delaware for a private corporate function. The room was packed with Motiva executives, employees and their spouses as they were treated to a performance that put them in awe! Standing O's were given several times during the course of the show.
Thanks Motiva for inviting Joe, Andrea & Lorrie to perform for such a special event!
