Entertainer Vincent Ricciardi is known for his rich, powerful vocals, and his vocal versatility. As a concert artist he has performed throughout the NY and NJ area, showcasing Opera, Neapolitan music, Jazz, Broadway and Opera/Pop crossover favorites. With a large repertoire encompassing a variety of styles, Vincent has several shows that can be adapted for any venue or audience. Current shows include: Vincent Ricciardi Sings Mario Lanza…and Caruso too! a celebration of the great tenors of the 20th century and today; Songs from Me to You!, an opera/pop crossover show in the vein of Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and Russell Watson; On Broadway, featuring some of Broadway's favorite songs; and A Celebration of Neapolitan Song.
As a songwriter, Vincent's music mixes pop/rock rhythms with powerful operatic/pop vocals. His music is often compared to the music of Josh Groban, Russell Watson, and Michael Buble. His song "Sometimes you Gotta Get Away" is featured in the upcoming film At the Sinatra Club.
Vincent can also be heard on numerous sound recordings from new musicals and songs by vibrant new songwriters. His credits include work with producer/composer/orchestrator Jack Walker (John Edward Cross Country), producer/composer Andrea Ardito, songwriter/composer Annie Pasqua, and Singer/songwriter Jon Montgomery. Recently he worked with composer Marco Sabiu (best known for his collaborations with Kylie Minogue, Take That, Pavarotti, Morricone) and can be heard on the concept album Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross starring Christpher Lee.
"Most of the supporting voices are well-chosen and well performed, but the best of these must surely be Vincent Ricciardi, whose strong, emotive tenor voice is well-cast in the role of young Charlemagne."
