Richie Santa is a singer living in
Staten Island, New York. Ever since the age of eight when he first saw Elvis
in a movie, the King has been Richie’s favorite singer. From that moment on
anything that had the name Elvis attached to it Richie was interested in.
Soon he had as many records as his parents could afford. Trying to sing and
move like the king became an everyday occurrence. It was the influence of
Elvis that has inspired Richie to pursue a career as an entertainer.
Back in 1982 Richie went to visit
Graceland for the first time and then again in 2001. After witnessing all
Elvis had accomplished and seeing it in person, Elvis can never be matched
by any other artist. In this day and age where the term superstar is used so
frequently, Elvis truly was a super superstar.
Being a professional singer for over
twenty years Richie has sung many songs by many artists, but no artist gives
him as much pleasure as singing songs by the King of Rock-n Roll. The band
that he sings with now is called Current Affair. Based out of Queens, New
York ,Current Affair has been thrilling audiences for decades with energy,
passion and commitment. With a powerful rhythm section and six vocalist it
is the variety and diversity that sets them apart. Being the lead singer
since joining the band eleven years ago Richie has done over 1000 shows.
Recently adding the title of tribute band is something they can now offer
their clients. Focusing on the Vegas years happens to be Richie’s favorite
part of Elvis’s career. Being the same height and weight as Elvis in his
prime makes the Current Affair show “A TRIBUTE TO THE KING” a more realistic
and believable experience. With arrangements being true to the originals,
each song is played with conviction. Then add the power of Richie’s voice
along with his stage persona and the transformation is complete. Richie
captures the essence of this great artist with authentic costumes and all
the accessories that one would expect when watching a tribute show.
There will never be another Elvis
Presley, so it is with great respect and appreciation as a fan that Richie
portrays this man that has given the world so much.
We are available for weddings/concerts/festivals/corporate affairs/etc…No
limits on travel. If you want the king we can make it happen.
