March 29, 2008 We contracted Larry Jones for a private engagement with excellent results. His performance was well received by an audience with a wide age range of guests for a Fund Raising event in Florida. We will continue to promote Larry Jones, a talented professional singing impressionist comedian. Larry was responsive to a challenging set-up and sound check time and has a "can do" attitude to make the event a success.

“Entertainer of the Year” ~Larry G. Jones~

What a great show! Showman of the year, Larry G. Jones! The Florida State University Boosters chartered the Regent Navigator for May 10, 2008 through our company. They looked at us to bring entertainment up a level on our cruise and we in turn looked to Larry G. Jones. It meant that our client had to pay out more money and then hope that it was all worth it. We took a chance when we requested an impressionist that none of us had ever seen in person. However, after the first show, I breathed a sigh of relief and said “Thank God. What a fabulous show!”

Although I knew that the rest of Larry’s shows would be everything we hoped they would be, I had no idea that he would go beyond the call of “showman” as he entertained in various other ways throughout the week. Larry was more than a showman, he was a complete entertainer, because he went beyond what you see on stage as part of a show and incorporated the cruisers into his humor throughout the week. He even re-wrote his shows to encompass special jokes and issues that would pertain to this specific group. I think that the passengers left with a feeling that they got to know him in a way that made them all “friends”. To just see him approach would make you smile in anticipation of something fun to come. Even when Larry shared a serious part of his life during one show, it was not done to make us laugh at his deep misfortune in his life or to feel sadness, but rather to let us feel uplifted. Life is good. Every day that we spend with those we care about; every day that we do what we do best, it’s all good…it’s a reason to have joy and to laugh.

We got quite a bit more than we bargained for …than we paid for…we got the whole package…Nothing short of “Entertainer of the Year”.

Larry G. Jones 17404 Meridian E, Suite F110 Puyallup, WA 98375 Dear Larry: I wanted to take this time to thank you for a truly memorable event. I have received an overwhelming number of positive comments about your performance at our Annual Recognition Dinner; many wondering how we will ever top the show that evening. It will definitely be a difficult act to follow. I appreciated your willingness to customize your show to our particular needs as well as incorporating audience participation, and last minute additions. In reviewing the photos from that evening, very few could keep a straight face. It was also quite impressive to see you jumping in to rearrange some tables! Your vocals were extraordinary with many comments that if one didn’t know better, they would think that it was the actual artist performing. Thank you again for an outstanding evening! Sincerely, VON MAUR, Inc.

It gives us great pleasure to recommend Larry G Jones for the Event Solutions Spotlight Award in the category of “Entertainment of the Year.” The Northwest Credit Union Association hired Larry to perform at one of our social/networking events at the 2011 Annual Convention in Tacoma, Washington.

Larry is truly a talented artist, and seeks to embrace his client’s vision. Larry is prompt at answering questions, accommodating requests, and addressing concerns in a timely and professional manner. We were pleased at Larry’s contribution to our event, and would not hesitate to work with him again.

Dear Event Solutions Spotlight Awards, I met Larry G Jones as a new member to the Washington State Chapter of MPI after he had moved from Las Vegas. When I first met him, I knew there was something special about him, in addition to the numerous awards he had won over multiple years in Las Vegas. He was interested in getting involved with the chapter so I suggested he join the marketing committee. In addition, I was looking for an opening act for the band at our yearly Cascadia Education Conference that is a collaboration between MPI Washington and MPI Oregon and attracts over 250 people. Larry is a true professional and it showed as he worked hard to customize our show to our Back To The Future theme by incorporating songs from the 50’s and moving through the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000 and present day before heading to the future! Larry had the most detailed rider of all our performers and these details all go into creating the experience of a lifetime.

Yet, nothing prepared me or all of us as the lights went down, Larry hit the stage and all of us looked at each other in jaw dropping disbelief! He nailed every song, every note and every impersonation. We were all blown away by his talent and his ability to entertain us, this guy is GOOD! Finally, Larry worked with us to get everybody on the dance floor with his last song and seamlessly integrated with our band as they picked up the drum beat from his last song and started their first song. We had our most successful Gala because of Larry’s hard work and dedication to his craft. In addition, we had a successful conference with 98% saying that they would return next year and I know Larry was a part of that result. Larry has been hard at work at his craft for decades and I know it would be a great accolade for him to win the Event Solutions Entertainer of the Year. I know he’s won my award for his service to me and our MPI Chapter. Sincerely, John Anne Chen CEO, Geoteaming http://geoteaming.com/
