He captivates audiences with his soaring rich vocals, sizzling trumpet and high energy performance. His exciting Las Vegas ���Super Band��� Rocks the house and Greg���s riveting stage presence touches all. His talent is unmatched. Yes, it���s the Australian Farm Boy meets Las Vegas, and now Banning. You���ll love him again. He was voted ���Entertainer of The Year��� in Australia, starred in his own TV special in England and has sold 14 million records in eastern Europe. His powerhouse performance is first choice by corporate America. He presents a polished show which is tailored to the needs of every audience. ���I have reviewed the biggest names in show business for twenty years, Greg Bonham is one of the most powerful entertainers I have ever seen. A great singer plus a superb trumpet player��� wow! What a combination,��� said Hilton Showroom Review. Immediately after his performance at the end of his last visit to Sun Lakes Friendship Club members, as they filed out, pretty much unanimously remarked that his performance was one of the best they had ever seen. He is now based in Las Vegas with a thriving international career. He says, ���It sure is different. That is being a long way from the farm. However, I wouldn���t change it for anything.��� With over a 150 national television appearances, and countless club engagements Greg learned his trade at an early age. Now a headliner in major casinos and showrooms across the country, and a corporate favorite, Greg is thankful that America has truly proven to be the land of opportunity.
