Band Bio: One of the hottest young talents working in Las Vegas today, Ryan Baker started performing professionally in October 2003, first at weddings and corporate events at properties such as the Four Seasons, Bellagio, Caesar’s Palace, Green Valley Ranch, Wynn and the Red Rock Hotel & Resort, among others. His performances at these events ranged from Frank Sinatra “sound-alike” to impersonating the man himself. In 2005, Ryan helped to create and began starring in the original tribute show “Shades of Sinatra”, a musical tribute to the music that defined Frank Sinatra’s career. After finding a dedicated following at venues like the Bootlegger Bistro, the show made its debut at the Suncoast Hotel & Casino in July of 2007, to sell-out crowds and widespread press acclaim. “Shades of Sinatra” was also the recipient of the Entertainment Consumers’ Exchange “Tribute Show of the Year” award for 2007. In October 2007, the “Shades” had the privilege of opening for the one and only Don Rickles at the Golden Nugget casino. In 2008, Baker joined the cast of Rick Michel’s “Drinkin’, Singin’, Swingin’,” playing the role of Frank Sinatra in a salute to the legendary Rat Pack, touring in the US and Canada. Also in 2008, Ryan portrayed Sinatra in David Cassidy’s production show, “The Rat Pack Is Back!” at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Resort & Casino, to rave reviews. Additionally, Ryan has recorded dozens of different radio commercial jingles, mostly for sponsors of Clear Channel Communications affiliates, which currently play all over the country in markets from Los Angeles, CA to Charleston, SC. Baker is also currently recording an album, featuring his own takes on some of his favorite jazz standards. Besides tribute artist/impersonator work, Ryan is also an accomplished lounge singer, with a repertoire of hundreds of songs, ranging from Sinatra favorites to jazz classics to standards written by the great American songwriters of the 20th century.   Read Less »
