• Description:

  Ben Torres

  The piano and vocal lessons began early in his primary years.  They were soon accompanied by professional vocal choirs, musicals, talent shows and rock and roll bands.  A native of Syracuse, NY, Ben has been performing professionally since his college years.  He went to school as a vocal major but decided to get into the education field when he became cognizant that “rocking out” wasn’t part of the rigorous curriculum of a vocal major.  Ben received his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Elementary Education and Secondary Mathematics.  Ben has been involved with dueling pianos for 5 years.  Not only does he bring a soulful voice and vast repertoire to the stage, but his personality and smile are infectious.

  Jeff Ross

  Music, science, and skiing... while Perry has held positions from professional ski instructor to engineer, his love of music and entertaining has led him on a cross-country trek.

  Before the age of eight, Perry was comfortable singing and acting on stage. Music has always been an integral part of his life, from playing in bands and working in recording studios, to performing in sing-along shows, songwriting and composing.

  How odd (or maybe serendipitous?) that Perry would end up entertaining in Washington D.C. - since throughout his adult years he's proudly followed politics like most people follow sports (not that he doesn't enjoy sports, of course!) Perry feels very fortunate to represent Bobby McKey's and is thankful that you, America's fun loving citizens, have afforded him the opportunity to live a life he truly enjoys... for which he will always be thankful!
