Entertainers & Shows

Sid Krupkin is clearly a product of having grown up with the greatest music in pop history buzzing in his ear.

As a child he was completely immersed in the world of Elvis Presley, then The Beatles, then the whole British Invasion, then a belated passion for timeless singers like Sinatra, Tony Bennett and Sammy Davis,Jr. From Blues to Disco, from Motown to Country Rock, Sid's greatest attribute is his versatility and his expansive range of musical taste and talent.

Sid is a true entertainer who knows how to "listen" to his audience, knows how to reach them with his personality, knows how to communicate the music he loves. With humor and enthusiasm he has the ability to win the attention and admiration of a crowd by offerring a dynamic, sincere brand of popular entertainment.

Sid has been performing in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls region and the Adirondack resort region for many years. In the midst of his experience he has also been an award-winning teacher, particularly in his years at the Buffalo Arts Academy."Teaching and entertaining go hand-in-hand in many 're doing stand-up eight periods a day. You'd better not lose their !", says Sid, looking back at his teaching years.

Sid's act continues to grow and diversify as he takes on everything from weddings to clubs to corporate parties, concerts, bar mitzvahs and fund raisers. He never fails to involve his audience in his performances by bringing people onstage as back-up singers, having them function as his "rhythm section" or joining him in an impromptu duet.

Sid's talents also run to the realm of the singer/songwriter. He has just released his first album on Smashing Records entitled "Suspended in Time". It's a collection of some of his original songs and it reveals his ability to rock with the best of them. The album shows a range of musical sensitivity from the soaring,energetic "Come With Me" to the cello-and-acoustic guitar infused ballad "Myself Again". His vocals, guitar-playing and harmonies are truly captivating. And, yes,that's Sid playing the electric lead guitar on the title track.

Sid takes each gig very personally, determining what each situation requires rather than providing some formula approach. He'll want to talk to his clients in advance to make sure they get exactly the kind of entertainment they request and deserve. And Sid delivers.
