Thanks again!” Bruce Archibald, member of the Sanibel Social Club, The Villages, FL. “Fred is an excellent entertainer and has the experience, knowledge and background to put on an over the top experience. He entertains those who enjoy 50’s plus music and strives for perfection in every song. His show will not disappoint. This is how memories are made!” Nancy Bryant, member of the Sanibel Social Club. I performed on 2-8-22 by singing songs like Sweet Caroline, Cara Mia, Blue Moon, Unchained Melody, Big Girls Don’t Cry and Be True To Your School, just to name a few as well as telling them the history behind some of the songs and how I got started singing professionally at Rider College in New Jersey and sang a few of my audition songs like Sixteen Candles, Since I Don’t Have You and In The Still Of The Night.

“Fred Campbell performed for the first time for the Doo Wop South/ Oldies Club in The Villages on August 14, 2016. No matter what he sang, from Doo Wop artists/groups like Dion, Skyliners, Crests, Capris, Chimes, Penguins, Danleers, Duprees, Marcels, Del Vikings, Rays and the Five Satins, he sounded like the original lead singer each time. Then he switched from Doo Wop and sang Unchained Melody by Bobby Hatfield of the Righteous Brothers, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie, and especially had everyone singing and standing to Lee Greenwoods’ God Bless The USA. Fred also played great dance songs like Uptown Funk, Blurred Lines, Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle and most any other recorded song as he went around to everybody’s table taking requests. I received only positive feedback and am looking forward to having Fred back again in December for our biggest event of the year.” Jack Maselli, President
“We hired Fred for a 60’s, 70’s, 80’s and we were all so pleased with the great variety of music that he played. Not only is he a great DJ, but also a spectacular singer.

If anyone is looking for a great entertainer, Fred is the person you want to hire.” Joan Pettiti, Entertainment Committee, Timber Greens Golf and Country Club, New Port Richey, FL for a dinner dance on September 24, 2016

The first time we had him in September from the first song he sang until the end of the evening eveyone was on the dance floor. The second time was last Saturday, March 4th. Our “Sock Hop” was a huge success due to Fred’s ability to “work the crowd”. We had a Hula Hoop, Twist, Jitterbug and a Best Dressed Man & Woman Contest all of which Fred handled for us. I have been totally impressed with how accommodating he is plus an Impressive Background and an Amazing Talent. I assure we will have him back to Timber Greens!!” Mary Jane O’Brien, Entertainment Coordinator for Timber Greens Country Club submitted March 6, 2017.

It was a totally entertaining evening and people love your personality. Looking forward to March” Mary Jane O’Brien, Entertainment Committee President, Timber Greens Golf and Country Club for the same dinner dance on September 24, 2016

He never disappoints, you will be satisfied along with your guests. Wellington at Seven Hills, Spring Hill FL. Jo-Anne Tagliavia, Chair S.E.C.
This was our first time using Fred Campbell and we are so pleased we did. Fred’s performance at the December 2023 Chanukah Celebration for the Jewish Club of On Top of the World was great. He knew when to get our members up and dancing as well as when to tone it down as we ate. Song selection ranged from several line dances and some slow numbers to a mix from the rock-and-roll era through today. He even came prepared with Hava Nagila so we could dance the Hora to help get the afternoon started on a festive note. Of course Fred added to a wonderful afternoon by himself singing some of the classics. He even took responsibility for calling tables when their turn came to go up to the buffet. Certainly not everyone cared to dance but I saw more than a few non-dancers moving their feet, tapping their toes or clapping their hands from their seats. Membership has not said a negative word to me about our selection of Fred and everyone we spoke with sang his praises. Bruce Kanner, President, The Jewish Club of On Top of the World

Her memory isn’t as strong as it once was, but the songs you played made her so happy, and she remembered the words to most all of them.

Even though I chose you from the internet, never met you, never saw you entertain, I never doubted my choice for one minute as you always responded immediately to every question I had. Your site made planning our 50th wedding anniversary party so easy and your selection of available music is unbelievable. I listened to you sing “Unchained Melody” on your website and thought you sounded good. Honestly, it does not do you justice. Your singing voice is fantastic as are your dancing skills. You kept the party going for young and old alike, filled every request asked for, and followed our schedule to a tee in spite of a few glitches on our part.

He was also flexible to take requests from the floor and performed a special song when we learned a couple was celebrating their anniversary. The quality of his voice was excellent and sometimes we thought it was one of his recordings…that’s how good he sounded. All in all everyone had a wonderful time.

“This letter is in support of Fred Campbell who has provided music for our club multiple times this year and in previous years. The club members consider him one of the favorite musicians we employ.

Attendance at our meetings range from between 130 in the summer months and up to 250 in the remaining months. Fred goes out of his way at our meetings to perform music and songs that are requested by our members. He always arrives early to set up in order not to interfere with our business meeting prior to his performance. He is especially personable while being very professional in his mannerisms. Our club members follow their favorite musical groups to their performances outside the club. I highly recommend him as a musician who can easily perform and entertain at any type of gathering.” Dr. Helen Chun, Vice President, The Villages Singles Club, Lady Lake, FL

I recommended Fred for all types of events at the Best Western of Brooksville, Florida, where we provided the food and Fred provided the entertainment for weddings, parties and special events… Fred has been hosting Karaoke at Max Grill in the Best Western of Brooksville. I have received many comments from customers that Fred consistently provides the best Karaoke experience. Since Fred is a professional singer, he not only entertains with the songs he sings, but he sings duets and provides harmony for karaoke singers. Fred’s selection of Karaoke songs, top quality PA system, along with his ability to mix the sound as people are singing sets him apart from his competition… Whether the event called for a DJ, Karaoke Jockey, Professional Singer or Emcee, Fred provided what was needed. We always received excellent feedback about Fred from our clients. Fred is an all around true professional. He is adaptable to any situation and someone you can count on. He has the ability to read an audience and provide the appropriate music for each occasion. I will continue to use Fred Campbell exclusively.

Fred Campbell rated an excellent in all 15 categories of the Satisfaction Survey where he sang and was the DJ as the Main Event on May 29, 2007 at Timber Pines Country Club. Paul Chefero, (Food and Beverage Manager, Timber Pines Country Club, Spring Hill, Florida)
“The Bandshell Bash! was graced with the performance of Fred Campbell in February and March…who performed before crowds estimated at over a thousand each month and kept attendees riveted with his song selection of oldies that everyone knew the words to. Mr. Campbell did a wonderful job of working the crowd and keeping their interest focused on his performance. Additionally, his act was appropriate for crowds of all ages which was important since our event is publicized as family-friendly.

“What an excellent job! Thank you so much. From the first phone call-the lady I called for a reference was such a pleasure, to the website that is so easy to use and all the ideas you can get from the website alone, to the wedding reception which was a FABULOUS time with many thanks to you. You seemed to read the crowd and knew just what to play and that we were a bunch of singers and entertainers. Three months later people are STILL talking about how we danced all night! I will recommend you to anyone who is having any kind of party. Thanks again for helping create great memories for my wedding.”
