Crooners – Vegas Knights
VEGAS KNIGHTS Starring Derek Marshall
Vegas Knights is a concert presentation saluting the greatest crooners of vintage Las Vegas which hearkens to an era bound by Rat Pack sophistication and 1970’s superstars.
Derek Marshall is the Canadian vocalist who leads his band and takes us on a trip through Las Vegas crooning the legendary hits of singers Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Louis Prima, Tony Bennett, Tom Jones, Bobby Darin and Elvis Presley with humorous and compelling anecdotes of golden era Sin City.
Created and produced by Derek Marshall and Director Chris McHarge, Vegas Knights premiered in 2005 and has continued to thrill audiences and draw capacity crowds through hundreds of performances in theatres, concert halls and casinos throughout Canada, USA and Europe.

“Marshall imbues the style and cadence of the greats, caressing the lyric in his own rich, melodious voice, with a natural and effortless delivery.” – The Barrie Advance
“Translating casino-land musical sophistication to make it fit the intimate Port Dover stage, versatile actor Derek Marshall brought polish and energy into his one-man tribute to eight of the biggest names in American show-biz history.” – Brantford Expositor
“…Marshall easily swept from Frank Sinatra’s jazz moodiness into Tom Jones’ swiveling lust-fits, from Tony Bennett’s wailing lounge lizardry into Sammy Davis Jr.’s incomparably touching Mr. Bojangles, and finally on into Elvis Presley’s heartland of Suspicious Minds.” – Brantford Expositor
“Marshall manages to emulate these singers’ styles while at the same time retaining his own extraordinarily pleasing voice.” – The Lake Erie Beacon
“Marshall is the guy with the smooth-as-silk voice coupled with high energy physical moves and personality plus…engaging the audience in the front row and beyond…all of which goes over well with this baby-boomer crowd looking for a fun night out.” – The Lake Erie Beacon
