The music is high energy and pulsating - the lighting intensified - then with the grace of a star, a wink and a smile...behold...the face and voice of Earl Turner. You are dazzled and swept away willingly. He glides effortlessly across the stage to driving rhythms; the audience is magnetized by his incredible voice and provocative dance moves. You realize you are involved in an amazing experience. The ride continues - as he leaps off the stage into the audience singing and personally acknowledging every human spirit in the room with either a handshake, hug, kiss, that wink or a smile. It is his charming rapport that makes him an every man and you feel like one in a million.
Earl Turner is the quintessential entertainer. He is dramatic and comedic - he impersonates and originates - he dances and sings - he disarms and charms. He plays five instruments and can sing everything from Gospel to Rhythm and Blues, Country to Pop, Standards to Rock and Roll! He commands the full spectrum of music and vocal range, making each performance individual and original.
Earl settles in for a moment - talks to you as though he's known you a thousand years.You are laughing - because he has great style with wit and you can identify with the anecdote he is sharing. He seamlessly segues into a poignant and dramatic theatrical presentation of the classic ballad "Somewhere" from the Broadway play, West Side Story. The audience is stunned - perhaps a tear of two rolls down your face - he has reached your soul now. He graciously bows to a standing ovation. Earl has taken your breath away and he's just about to give it back! An up-tempo gospel tune, Stomp, suddenly has you up out o f your seat...up on your feet...singing...screaming...dancing!
Earl Turner leaves us once again to a standing ovation, wanting more song, dance, tears, joy and laughter. We feel we have witnessed a revival of the spirit, for Earl's star illuminates. He reaches and ignites our hearts. In truth there is no end to the Earl Turner experience because we walk away feeling inspired, unearthed and alive....
