About Danny
Danny DelRay is a professional singer, pianist, and live entertainer based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He specializes in Frank Sinatra, the Rat Pack, and the Great American Songbook, and has been performing at South Florida's most prestigious venues, private clubs, and special events for decades. He is available for weddings, corporate events, private parties, and public performances throughout Florida and nationally.
Danny is a complete one-man show — he plays piano, sings, and runs his own professional sound system, delivering the full impact of a much larger act. His extensive repertoire, ability to read a room, and genuine love of performing make every event feel personal. He has performed at some of South Florida's most exclusive venues including Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, and brings that same level of sophistication to every engagement.
Danny's primary instrument is piano, which anchors all of his performances. He also plays guitar and harmonica. His piano-and-vocal show is his signature format — warm, versatile, and perfectly suited to any setting from intimate cocktail hours to full ballroom receptions.
The Music
Danny's core repertoire is Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., and the Great American Songbook — timeless standards that work beautifully at upscale events. He also performs classic pop, Italian favorites, Broadway standards, holiday classics, and contemporary crowd-pleasers. His setlists are fully customizable to suit the mood and audience of your event.
"The Sinatra Connection" is Danny's signature weekly tribute show dedicated to the music of Frank Sinatra and the Great American Songbook. It runs every Tuesday night at 6:30 PM at Casa Calabria inside the Ocean Manor Beach Resort on Galt Ocean Drive in Fort Lauderdale — an intimate supper-club atmosphere with dinner, dancing, and Sinatra all in one place.
Absolutely. Danny has one of the most extensive repertoires in South Florida and welcomes requests at every performance. If you have a must-play song for your event, share it during the booking process and Danny will make sure it's in the set — he can also learn specific songs for weddings and special occasions with sufficient notice.
Performance length is completely customizable. A typical private event includes two or three sets of 45–60 minutes each with short breaks. Danny works with you to build a schedule that fits your event timeline — whether that's a 90-minute cocktail hour, a four-hour wedding reception, or anything in between.
