Harley Hehr and Jim Bulanda are back by popular demand! Audiences love this dynamic duo’s duets, solo songs, and not-to be missed comic banter. An accomplished singer, Harley Hehr’s first love is comedy, so he decided to uniquely combine song and comedy in his performances—as well as doing impressions! Hehr’s music accomplishments include fabulous vocal impressions of legendary singers—like Louis Armstrong, Willie Nelson, Roy Orbison, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Cher, to name a few. With his rich singing voice, worldclass vocalist Jim Bulanda can easily step into the shoes of any major Las Vegas entertainer. Performing at top venues coast to coast, including in Chicago, Bulanda is a singer most famous and appreciated for his vocal impressions of Dean Martin and the “Chairman of the Board”, Frank Sinatra. Add to this, Bulanda does stylistic vocal impressions of Tony Bennett, Michael Buble, Neil Diamond, and more, and it’s no wonder why audiences always demand an encore!
