As America’s First Mashup Group, the COMPANY MEN bring together a unique blend of talent, personality and showmanship that harkens back to an earlier era, while pushing the boundaries of today’s current sound. This “Modern Day Rat Pack” has shared the stage with Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan, Jesse Campbell (The Voice) and LaToya London (American Idol). They have performed for music legends Quincy Jones and Berry Gordy, and have been featured nationwide in numerous television, radio, magazine, and online spots. They have enjoyed a recurring residency at Hollywood’s iconic Key Club, a performance at the 2013 Red Dress Awards at Jazz at Lincoln Center, and headlining concerts at various casinos throughout the U.S.
Daniel Tatar, Shawn Perucca, Stuart Ambrose and Brian Purcell have put aside their 9-to-5 jobs to create a truly unique musical experience: Timeless Music from the Past Six Decades Mashed With Today’s Hits. Audiences have enthusiastically responded, as these modern gentlemen piece together cherished fragments of the past and present before translating them into fresh tunes packed with a rich new flavor and smooth choreography. As the COMPANY MEN grace the stage in their immaculately tailored suits and sleek hairstyles, they reestablish the values of a classic American gentleman and pair it with rare charm and magnetic qualities.
Interweaving the hits from multiple genres such as Motown, rock, pop and today’s Top 40, their repertoire appeals to all generations. Hear the Four Tops mixed with Michael Jackson, The Temptations layered with Katy Perry and The Police, or Frankie Lymon & The Teenagers mashed with Bruno Mars and Beyoncé. This collection of music includes a multitude of yesterday’s and today’s most popular artists including The Righteous Brothers, Ben E. King, Michael Bublé, Maroon 5, and more.Why “the COMPANY MEN”?
Shawn, Daniel, Brian, and Stuart were all working their 9-to-5 jobs, putting in long hours to support themselves and their families:
Shawn worked for “the mouse,”
Daniel juggled website construction with being a stay-at-home dad,
Brian worked for his family’s executive search firm, and
Stuart was serving in the U.S. Coast Guard.
Fast forward to a Las Vegas casino in April, 2011, where the four found themselves discussing their individual dreams and goals. Call it fate, call it a lapse in judgement, but all 4 guys decided together to take a risk: to move away from the security of the 9-to-5 job and start the COMPANY MEN.
“Modern Gentlemen”
In addition to a deep love and respect for yesterday’s music, they also wanted to bring back what it means to be “a gentleman.” It’s more than just being polite:
A gentleman opens the door for others.
A gentleman stands when a woman returns to the table.
A gentleman displays chivalry and respect to all.
Their history creates a deep appreciation for each and every opportunity to perform. Each concert is one step further away from that 9-to-5 job, and another step closer to a career like those of their musical influences.
the COMPANY MEN enjoy meeting their guests after every show, and look forward to seeing you at their next concert.
