BIOS BRUCE HAMMOND (Frank Sinatra) earned his Bachelor degree from Western Michigan University. After a 3-year stint as an apprentice at the prestigious Barn Theatre in Augusta Michigan, he gained his Actors Equity Card. Since then he has been actively involved in various performance venues around the world, including playing the lead roles in the world premieres of “Billy The Kid Musical” and “The Dybukks Revenge” as well as touring nationally with the Production of “South Pacific” as Luther Billis. After moving to New York City, he was a member of a new project for Phillip Springer where he was the lead vocalist in Requiem of an Artist. One of the great highlights of his career was traveling to Monaco where he was lead performer for a special event honoring the Prince of Monaco. While a featured singer for Princess Cruises and traveling the world, Bruce met his wife Jennifer. Together they created and produced two original production shows for Princess that ran many years for the company. Actively involved in the SAG union as well, Bruce has multiple television, film and commercial credits to his name. One of his all-time favorite awards is for Best Actor of 2013, he received for his starring role as Johnny Vegas in “Milo’s Opus”; for the 48hour Film Festival. Always a huge fan of Mr. Frank Sinatra, Bruce wrote, directed and starred in his very own production of “Sinatra Live” that has toured the U.S. and Canada. For Bruce nothing could be better than emulating the most popular singer of the 20th Century and he humbly admits that being a part of the Rat Pack is Back is a dream come true. He applauds everyone who supports and recognizes this amazing genre of music.

BIOS In 2012 he opened the “MJ LIVE” Michael Jackson Tribute Concert which has become the #1 Michael Jackson show in the world. Feeney’s latest shows enjoying huge success running full time in Las Vegas and touring the world are “The Rat Pack is Back” in its eighteenth year, “MJ Live” the #1 Michael Jackson show in the world and the “World’s Greatest Rock Show”.

With shows currently running in Las Vegas plus touring productions, the Flying Elvi darting about the heavens, a home in Las Vegas, Hawaii and Utah, a wife Melissa and four children including a three year old, Feeney may seem busy but loves it all. In October of 2008 Feeney was awarded a star on the prestigious “Las Vegas Walk of Stars” for his outstanding contributions to the Las Vegas community. The star is permanently on display in the sidewalk in front of the Paris Hotel and Casino. In May of 2009 he was unanimously selected for induction into the Rockland High School Academic Hall of Fame.
