I am working on an entirely new concise web site for corporate clients as I realize this web site is overwhelming with way too much information. Again, it is like a filing cabinet for me to keep track of things... This page will turn into my main CURRENT NEWS page as the other one is too full and I will be labeling that one eventually as ARCHIVES in the distant future. ..So as you read through this - just go to the next CURRENT EVENTS page to get the rest.

Recording some tracks in Arizona...

I do band work on occasion but mainly my shows are done with Tracks because I fly from state to state and my act can be more accessible and versatile this way. I also have found tracks provide the kind of instrumental sound people are more familiar with...

In the past I shunned away from recording tracks because decent background music was difficult to find and thanks to new technology that is not the case now! So overdue, I've finally decided to take the time to make them.

FEATURED IN MAXIM MAGAZINE - AUGUST 2008

Chris America photo in short article about "Sunburst" the annual convention for Professional Celebrity Impersonators. The pictures includes me with outstanding Cher Tribute Artist Betty Atchison! The article is apparently entitled something about "strange conventions" and it is listed in between the Funeral Directors Convention and the Sex Addicts Convention.

I don't know what it is about the media but they constantly want to group what we do as a profession as some weird culture??? We are no different than actors, dancers or magicians. We just specialize in a more nostalgic industry that is very challenging and requires much discipline, skill and financial commitment. Most talent I know in my industry are extremely gifted in many artistic areas of their lives outside of Impersonating - so articles are often misleading about the kind of work we do. Not to mention a huge challenge is always to meet client's high standards and expectations of the character whom we portray.

We actually live very normal lives outside of our work. We are not wannabees, we are not crazed fans, we work hard at this profession to meet expectations for our clients. We also drive to the Grocery Store, go to family reunions and take walks on the beach... go figure?!
