Crooner Kings – A Night Of Timeless Memories

Happy New Year! 🎉

2025… wow. What a year! Somehow I managed to pack a lot into twelve months and still find time to slow down, breathe, and—yes—smell the roses (highly recommend 😄).

January kicked off with me starting a year-long Cardiac Rehab program following the pacemaker and heart stent I received in 2024. Fun fact about my heart: the right artery is 100% blocked (yep, 100%), but my heart decided to get creative and started building its own detour system—what the pros call collateral circulation. Basically, it made new little veins around the blockage. Pretty amazing stuff.

The rehab program was designed to strengthen those new pathways, and fast-forward to December 2025—I officially graduated! Even better, my cardiologist gave me the all-clear after every “bad” number in my bloodwork turned into a good one. Mission accomplished. That said, this healthier lifestyle is a forever commitment—and I’m genuinely happy to make it.

Now… on to the singing 🎶

What a year on stage! I had the absolute joy of performing in so many fantastic shows with Icon Productions, including Chart Topping Divas, American Icons, and the incredible Celine show. Sharing the stage (and duetting twice!) with Catherine Pearson is always an honour. She’s not only immensely talented but a true professional—and a remarkable human being.

Of course, I can’t talk about 2025 without mentioning my best friend Steve Michaels and his phenomenal Elvis tribute shows. From ’68 Comeback and Aloha from Hawaii to Elvis On Tour and our stellar Wonderful World of Christmas shows—every moment was a blast. On our Christmas show Steve and I even squeezed in a few duets and I had the privilege of opening each show with a special Christmas tune. Steve’s attention to detail and talent are second to none, and it’s easy to see why he’s an Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist. Plus, the car rides to each show with Steve? Let’s just say there was no shortage of laughter and shenanigans 😂.

I also had the privilege of returning to the Blue Suede Shoes Elvis Festival in Westlock, Alberta this July—always one of my favourite stops. Elvis, Gospel music, great friends, and lots of laughs. As always, it was an honour to duet with Olivia Kip Hatch on The Prayer.

Another highlight was joining the incredible Chicago Transit Band in July and September. These guys are unreal, and they perform the music of Chicago so authentically. Stepping into the role of Peter Cetera for those shows is always a thrill and an honour.

And then there’s Christian Creative Arts. This past August, I spearheaded the first-ever Christian Creative Arts Awards & Conference—and had such a great time building it, collaborating with artists, and helping shape the future of the Gospel industry that I ended up purchasing the majority shares of the company. Yep… I bought the company 😄. I clearly thought I had some spare time on my hands! I’m so excited to work alongside my partners Darryl & Cheryle and our incredible team as we lead the CCA’s into the future.

So here we are—Day One of 2026 ✨
And wow, what’s ahead!

This year brings more Elvis shows with Steve Michaels, more Celine magical duets with Catherine Pearson, more time on stage with Chicago Transit as the voice of Peter Cetera, and a return to the Blue Suede Festival in Westlock for some fun duets and a few surprises (don’t worry, Cathy Bowen—we’re going to have fun 😉).

Add to that the 2nd Annual CCA Awards & Conference on August 15th, and the debut of a brand new show—Crooner Kings—with my friend Angel Saucedo from LA, touring Alberta in September (this show is going to be so exciting).

And just when you think that’s enough… I'm thinking that I might be bringing back Crooner’s Christmas next year too. I mean, why not fill the calendar if you can? 🎄😄

Well, that’s all for now. After reading everything I just wrote, I think I need a nap to prepare for the year ahead.

See you on the road.

Andrew
