About this concert
As Seen on: PBS, NBC, ABC, CBS and Featured in Forbes & Rolling Stone
Described as “the next Justin Timberlake”, this handsome young man always wanted to be a singer and now finds himself, in his mid-twenties, an in-demand showman and social media superstar. He’s appeared on national PBS specials, shared the stage with music icons, performed live on Good Morning America, and is succeeding at wowing audiences in his solo show across the nation.
This rising young entertainer has created a live stage show with a six-piece band that shares his remarkable story, while breathing new life into timeless hit songs of the last six decades, from the 60s and 70s up to today. One moment he and his spectacular band will be weaving a song by Adele into a Lionel Richie classic, and the next, marrying Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are” with the iconic “This Magic Moment”. All the while sharing his incredible Cinderella story that began with a dream of being able to make it as a singer and make people happy.
Now more than ever, people need to feel hope that they can make something of their own lives. This is why Chris Ruggiero’s “Livin’ the Dream” delivers a musically uplifting experience that engages and inspires audiences and lives on in their hearts long after he leaves the stage. If there’s any doubt that what he’s doing is resonating with people everywhere, his Facebook page reached a staggering 63 million people last year. And he’s just getting started.

Chris Ruggiero Biography
Chris Ruggiero takes his audiences on a journey through the golden age of rock and roll, breathing new life into the timeless music of the 1950s, 60s and 70s. Chris has been described as an “old soul” at 25 years old, whose approach to his concert appearances is more in line with that of a bygone era than it is the artists of his generation.
Chris first came to national attention when he performed in concert on one of PBS-TV’s coast-to-coast broadcast specials, which still airs to this day. Since then, Chris has been traveling around the country delivering his unique brand of vintage rock and roll, including sold out shows in Las Vegas, Cleveland, Florida and New York.
Chris has released 5 albums including “I Am Chris Ruggiero” which features original arrangements from legendary arranger Charlie Calello on timeless classics such as “Wouldn’t it Be Nice,” “My Cherie Amour,” “The More I See You” and “This Magic Moment.” Calello has had over 100 national records as an arranger and producer, having worked with Frankie Valli, Frank Sinatra, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond and Glen Campbell, to name a few. Chris says, “Charlie is the epitome of musical genius.” Having completed the project, it appears the admiration is now mutual. Calello commented, “It’s been a long time since I heard a voice like this. Chris doesn’t chase the music. He brings the music to him and he does it without vocal tricks. That’s rare today.”
His album, “Quiet Nights,” features only his voice and the masterful pianist Chris Tamburr re-imagining pop-rock classics like "Up on the Roof" and "The Long and Winding Road." Christmas of 2022 was a high point as Chris released his first Christmas album, including a duet with Darlene Love that landed him on the Adult Contemporary charts, on Good Morning America and with features in Rolling Stone and Forbes.
“When I’m on stage singing a classic love song and I look out into the audience and see that twinkle in their eyes, I know they’re thinking about a special time and place in their life - or maybe their first kiss!” Chris says. “It’s magic.“ For Chris, entertaining is not a vocation, it’s a way of life.
