25TH ANIVERSARY REUNION

Its official!!! Jeff and his band Galaxy are reuniting for a one night only special concert performance!! "I can think of nothing that means more to Gina and I than to do this show with our extended family in Galaxy!" says Jeff, "Without them its very doubtful that I would have experienced all of the things I have had the great fortune in my career to enjoy. They truly are the people who started it all for me. Gina and I love them with all of our hearts!" Jeff will be reunited on stage with his wife Gina on keyboards, drummer Steve Rorebeck, lead guitarist Roger Myers and master bassist Gary Powers. The concert will be held July 8th, 2006 at the historic Lake Robbins Ballroom, located just 20 minutes north of Des Moines, in Woodward, Iowa. The venue boasts a 4800 square foot dance floor, the largest in the state! "I can't thank Lynn and The Lake Robbins Ballroom enough for asking us to be there and for making this dream come true for all of us!" says Brandt. The Lake Robbins Ballroom will open at 6pm the night of the show with a dinner menu available, and the show will begin at 8pm. There will be a short intermission following the concert, and then Jeff and the band will reclaim the stage for a late night Jam session and time to meet and talk with old and new friends! "We just cant wait to see everyone again! Its been 22 years since the band last performed together and in some cases that long since we have seen some of our old gang!" according to Jeff, "After this many years we are bound to be a bit rusty so I hope people will understand, but that will certainly have no bearing on the energy, excitement, fun, and love that will be dripping from the stage that night! Gina and I just cant wait!" So mark your calendars and make your plans to join JEFF BRANDT AND GALAXY for the 25TH ANNIVERSARY REUNION SHOW. As Jeff says, "We probably wont do a 50th"! HA!!

IN LOVING MEMORY OF RICHARD HAWK

I don't even know where to begin. There are some people you meet in your life that have no effect on you at all. Others that you feel you have known forever. Then there are a select few that from the minute you meet them, feel like family. Hawk and his wife Ponybead are those kind of people. From the second I met them in Branson, Missouri, I loved these people as family. Richard Hawk was a man among men and one of the kindest, warm hearted people you could ever have the honor of knowing. This also applies to his wife Ponybead. You will not find a more gentle soul. I wish words were able to express how much I will miss him, but they are not. Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies go out to Ponybead and the Richard Hawk family, along with all the love in our hearts.

SOAN-GE-TAHA SHUH SHUH GAH. NOOKAADIZI. OMBOOMIGO ANIMAACAKONENJIGE. NIIJII ANWEBI.

I WILL MISS YOU BROTHER

Jeff

(Some of you may remember Hawk from the National Day of Prayer in Branson, Missouri at the Wayne Newton Theatre. He was the Chippewa Shaman who delivered part of the group prayer in his Native American Tounge. If you would like to send a card or other form of acknowledgement to Hawk's family, Jeff has requested that you e-mail us at jeffbrandt@jeffbrandt.com for contact address information. Thank you.)

From his heartfelt tribute to his parents in "Thanks Again" to the hip swinging sounds of a by gone era that dominate the rest of the album Brandt is in top form!! His vocal impressionist abilities bring the rat Pack back to life, and songs in his own voice verify he could have been one of them!" C.D. Review

"I am so greatful to God that people are enjoying this project", says Brandt. "I asked him in prayer before we recorded the album to allow me to properly display the voice he gave me and bring a little happiness into peoples lives with it. So the reviews truly belong to him as I have had no formal training of any kind. What I have he gave to me and I a very thankful for that".

JEFF'S BACK FROM DOWN UNDER

8 years have passed since Jeff was last in Australia, but as soon as he landed he felt as if it had only been an hour. He performed with Wayne Newton in Melbourne, Sydney, Tweed Heads, and Perth. Jeff also was able to meet up with longtime friend Reuben Anthuenis and his new fiancee Donna in Melbourne, as well as longtime friend Jenny Wardell in Sydney. He had a great time with everyone and hated to leave them. Jeff also became addicted to the Aussie Football Games while in Australia this time. He was glued to the FOX FOOTY CHANNEL through his entire stay and had the chance to meet some of the games players. He was honored to have the oppurtunity to meet Footy legend Kevin Bartlett of the Richmond Tigers. He also met several members of the Melbourne Demons and the West Coast Eagles for which he was also very honored. "You really have to see the games to understand what athletes these people are", says Brandt "I can see why the Australian people live and breathe the sport of footy"! We will be posting some pics of Jeff and his old and new Australian friends on the picture page so keep an eye out for them! Welcome home Jeff!!

JEFF SPEAKS AT RICH LITTLE'S STAR DEDICATION

Jeff has been bestowed a great honor. To speak at the dedication of Rich Little's star on the new walk of fame in Las Vegas. Jeff recieved a call from his mentor about 3 weeks ago asking if he would consider speaking at the dedication and Jeff could not be more excited! "I am so honored to be asked by Rich to do this for him." says Brandt" We have been friends for many years now and its the ultimate form of flattery to be asked to speak. Not only for such a momentus occasion, but for in my opinion, the greatest impressionist in the world." Oddly enough, the dedication was held on Jeff's birthday! What a present for Jeff! Jeff's speech was met with rave reviews from everyone in attendance including Rich and his beautiful wife Marie! A few in attendance included, Steve Rossi, Frankie Scinta, Marty Allen, Charlie Callas, Fred Travalena, Bill Acosta, Bob Anderson, Robin Leach, just to many to mention. It was an all star Las Vegas cavalcade! During Jeff's speech he did his impression of Rich Little's real voice to the raves of the audience. Fred Travalena said the impression was just uncanny. You sounded just like Rich! Over all it was a great event and Rich was truly paid the honor he is due. With proclamations from the state, county and city, making February 15th Rich Little Day! Thank you Mr. Little for including Jeff in your very special day! (The pictures above are of Jeff giving his speech with Rich looking on, and Rich hugging Jeff after he was done. Below, Jeff and his mentor with the newly dedicated star!)

Congratulations Mr. Little!!

In todays mail, I received Jeff's CD that I just recently ordered through the website. Please note that I was thrilled to receive it and have already played it through. Helps bring back some fond memories of seeing him perform on stage. I look forward to his next CD. Would like to see the gift shop offer VHS tapes, coffee mugs and keychains. JESSIE

I was floored!! I knew Jeff was a huge talent from seeing him in Wayne Newton's show but I had no idea! This album is outstanding and really shows off Jeff's four octave range! My God! Count me in on the second and third and fourth and fifth albums too!! If Jeff sees these e-mails, tell him he needs to get his own show, his talent is amazing! MIKE AND SALLY

The show is performing at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino here in Las Vegas to rave reviews. You wont see Jeff, but you WILL hear him! His voice thunders through the sold out showroom and is sure to get your attention. Its a great show to see and you get to hear Jeff while enjoying it.

JEFF HOME FROM KOREA

Well it never ends! The shere excitement Jeff feels when he is doing the shows for our men and women in the armed forces! The tour to Korea was no different. Jeff met some incredible people on tour there and many he is staying in touch with now that he is home. "There is simply nothing that gives me such a feeling of accomplishment, as the tours I am fortunate enough to be a part of with Wayne Newton and the USO" according to Brandt. "I am so very grateful to Wayne for beinging me with him. He told me before leaving for my first USO tour that it would be the highlight of my career. Was he ever right!!" Jeff is already looking forward to the next one!

GO, GO, USO!!

Jeff has just returned from what he calls, "The absolute highlight of my career"! He just returned from a 9 day overseas trip with the USO. Jeff entertained our troops in Hungary, Bosnia, and 3 stops in Italy. Jeff really enjoyed performing for them but he says the highlight of the tour was getting to meet and talk with them. "There is no doubt, our men and women in the armed forces are the best of the best! They truly make me proud to be an American", says Jeff, "They kept thanking me for coming over to perform, but believe me, all the thanks goes to them. It was my honor to do what little I did for them after all they do for us".

MIDWEST MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR!

Jeff has done it again! He has been presented the AVIS Award by the Midwest Country News for MALE VOCALIST OF THE YEAR!! What an honor!! As you can imagine all of us are exploding with excitement! Jeff was absolutley floored and didn't know what to say. (thats a first, sorry Jeff) "Words can not begin to describe how I feel. This is truly an incredible honor especially coming from people in the Midwest." says Brandt, "Growing up in Iowa and touring through the Midwest are among the fondest memories of my life and to be honored by you means more than you will ever know. Thank you so very, very, much." CONGRATULATIONS JEFF!!

PRESIDENT JEFF BRANDT!?

Well it looks as though Jeff took his visit to the White House very seriously! While to most that know Jeff well, this would be a very frightening picture, he does seem to fit in to the room well! We must say though in all fairness that the official position of jeffbrandt.com and Jeff Brandt Enterprises is, the country is no where near ready for this!! HA!

JEFF BRANDT HONORED IN WASHINGTON D.C.

February 15th, 1999 turned out to be more than Jeff's birthday. It became probably one of the most proud and humbled moments of his life. On this date, the National Flag was flown over the United States Capitol in honor of Jeff's birthday! The flag was then sent to Jeff To be displayed in his home. Jeff said, "It will be placed in the most visible location in our home! I am truly honored and want everyone who enters our home to see it." The people responsible for this very auspicious dedication are Ruth Toon, Myra Knott and Rebecca Taul. They could not possibly know how much this means to Jeff and how treasured in his heart this great honor is!

15,000 STAND FOR JEFF

March 4th, 1999 found Jeff in Plant City, Florida at the annual Florida Strawberry Festival, with the Wayne Newton Show. The event grounds were packed with people and not unusually, Wayne's show was sold out! During Wayne's show, Wayne has Jeff come up front with him and perform some of his unbelievable impressions. At the end of his performance, 15,000 people came out of their seat and gave Jeff the standing ovation of his career! "Obviously getting a standing ovation is a great honor that I do not take lightly, but I think I was taken back more as it was daylight outside and I could see everyone standing. Sometimes because of the spotlights we cant see all the way to the back of the room. But that day I could see all 15,000 people and I was floored! If there was ever a time I felt like crying on stage that was it. It was just awesome, I just couldn't believe my eyes."

JEFF GOES TO MAR-A-LAGO ESTATE

What a night!! The beautiful estate home of Donald Trump. Located in West Palm Beach, Florida fabulous Mar-A-Lago sits proudly awaiting her guests for the evening. Some of which include, June Taylor, of course of the world reknowned June Taylor Dancers. Obviously Donald and Marla Trump were present for the big night, the lovely Mrs. Jackie Gleason and so many more to numerous to count. The show was fantastic as Wayne performed some new musical pieces for the eager crowd, and as usual Wayne was pure dynamite!! The crowd also recieved Jeff very well, as was made apparent from the comments said to him following the show. Donald Trump referred to Jeff as "incredible", June Taylor said, "What a magnificent voice!" and "So handsome and so talented!" came from Mrs. Jackie Gleason. Needless to say, Jeff had the time of his life and was very honored to have been a part of the evening.
