If you love music from the 50’s to 80’s Era,
you cannot help but love the unique style, nostalgic voice and
terrific sounds of Mario. His performances cover a broad base of
every type of music.
Mario Messina has entertained audiences all over the United States
since the late Sixties. From Michigan, Philadelphia, Kentucky,
Georgia, Indiana, Florida to Las Vegas he has captured the hearts of
all ages (young & old) with his accomplished unique tenor vocal
style. From Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Dion to Paul Anka Mario covers
them all.
From the seventies Mario has had the pleasure in playing many styles
of music from Blues, Rock-n-roll, Jazz, County and along with
entertaining and showcasing the Oldies. With the Vegas Style Act
that Mario performs will leave the audience on their feet. In 1998
Mario played the Philadelphia Convention Center which left them
standing on their chairs with white linen cloth napkins waving in
the air. In 2004 Mario stepped into the studio to record a full
length CD entitled “Mario’s 50’s 60’s Review.
With the ability to connect to all ages through his music,
showmanship and love for entertaining, Mario went to the stage
playing Corporate Function, Private Venues, Clubs, Festivals,
Lodges, Charity Events and Radio Stations. In December of 2004 Mario
opened for legendary artists Dee Dee Kennibrew of “The Crystals”.
Mario then proceeded to put together a Charity Event in July 2004 at
the Brighton Center for the Performing Arts in which he had Nick
Marinelli & The Shades of Blue as one of the featured acts. In the
promotion of this event, Mario was interviewed on WJR 760 AM with
the Deno Day’s Country Radio Station.
Mario also has the pleasure in having special acquaintance with some
of the Fifty’s & Sixty’s legendary groups like The Reflections, Sam
the Sham, Merrille Rush, Chris Montez, Casey Kasem, Rare Earth, The
Frost, Kate Hart and many more.
In 2006 Mario went back to the studio to record “Timeless Classics
with Mario Messina” which has one of his original songs titled
“Someone to Love” that was dedicated to his wife, Sandra.
Either singing as a Single Performer or Entertaining with his
“Timeless Music Band”, you DON'T want to miss your chance to re-live
the classics through the nostalgic voice of Detroit’s one and only
“MARIO MESSINA”.
