              Impressionist/Musician/Recording Artist

Let’s pose a serious question: Has there ever been a time in your life when you experienced a tribute entertainer or impressionist so authentic looking, sounding, and moving that it took your breath away? Joe Marino is one of those rare specimens, and one of the fastest rising young stars that represent the absolute best of the best in entertainers today. Joe’s startling and flawless recreations feature most of the greats of rock and roll’s early years such as: Buddy Holly…Elvis Presley…Chuck Berry…Jerry Lee Lewis…. Ricky Nelson…Fats Domino…Eddie Cochran…Ritchie Valens…Roy Orbison…Johnny Rivers…and many more! Combined with an extremely gifted four-octave range voice, exotic good looks, musical talent, acting ability, youthful energy, and supercharged charisma…Joe Marino is an outstanding example of what a dynamic fireball an entertainer should  be!

Joe Marino has been performing as a professional impressionist, vocalist and musician since the age of eight, and founded his award- winning band: All The King’s Men in 1996. Dedicated to his first love: rock and roll music from the 50’s and 60’s.... Joe is definitely not your average performer! Appearing as if he just stepped out of a time machine from 1956, Joe Marino is the real deal…pompadour, threads, and pink Cadillac to match. When this young man walks into a room, crowds are immediately drawn to his charismatic presence that just radiates the epitome of 1950’s ‘cool.’

Joe Marino currently performs part - time in Las Vegas, Nevada, Branson, Missouri, and Nashville, Tennessee. He has performed internationally in such European countries as the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. Joe is a master voice impressionist known as ‘The Man of Multiple Voices,’ and is also in constant demand as a celebrity tribute performer/look -alike. He has recorded on the Backbeat Record label with a national 1998 re-release of Buddy Holly’s 1958 hit, ‘True Love Ways.’ Since childhood, Joe’s idols and influence have been the rockabilly/rock and roll artists of the 50’s and 60’s. Joe has painstakingly studied and perfected every voice, every move, and every nuance of the individual stage personas that made the original legends of rock and roll so beloved by millions.

An accomplished musician, Joe is a professional voice instructor, pianist, drummer, upright bassist, and guitarist…and dazzles audiences by playing every one of these instruments during his high-energy stage shows…just like Sammy Davis Jr., and Wayne Newton! Joe has the chameleon-like ability to recreate every look, voice, and style of each rock and roll legend he performs…(think Danny Gans in Las Vegas!) As if all of this weren’t enough, Joe also possesses a master’s degree in Business, and a 5th degree black belt in the martial art of Aikido. He is the founder and co-founder of two Florida talent agencies: Elvis Entertainment, Inc., and J. D. Management & Associates.

 With this young man's charisma, looks, talents, and drive for absolute precision, Joe Marino and All The King’s Men simply must be experienced to be believed. Of course, words are cheap, and can mean nothing but hype, however… let your own senses be the judge as Joe takes you on a magical journey to a simpler, happier time when rock and roll was king.

Experience the breathtaking adventure into the past, and try to tell the difference between history…and Joe Marino. A truly emotional and exciting show you’ll never forget!

Text Box: BARRY JOHNSON: (Lead Guitar) A master rock and roll guitarist, Barry grew up knowing he had a love for music, and listened to what he calls the brothers; Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Everly Bros, Buddy Holly, etc.  He received his first guitar at the age of 5. Barry states,” I broke the strings trying to be Elvis.”  Barry has continued to perfect his craft to the incredible sound you hear today. Not only is Barry a guitarist, but a fantastic vocalist as well. His Conway Twitty-style voice captures the essence of early rock and roll. He has extensive performance experience and loves all genres of music, especially the 50’s and 60’s rockabilly sound.  This makes Barry a natural for Joe Marino’s:  All The King’s Men. 

Text Box: RICK DAVIDSON:  (Stand-up bass & Fender electric bass) A multitalented musician, Rick brings many years of experience to this group. Starting out as a concert musician in college, Rick soon learned that rock and roll was what he wanted to play.
