SHOW Tribute acts have fast become the go-to shows for folks around the world. Once an artist is gone they can be brought back to life through their music and stage performance by talented musicians and singers. Although he still alive, Glen Campbell is in the seventh stage of Alzheimer’s disease where he can no longer sing or play guitar. When an artist captures the essence of a true musical genius who spanned so many decades and brings him back to life on stage, the result is a high energy emotional rollercoaster of laughing, crying, singing, clapping and a wonderful feeling that will create an everlasting memory. This is The Glen Campbell Xperience! Longtime professional entertainer Jimmy Mazz delivers the world's premier tribute to Glen Campbell, the man and his music, featuring all the great timeless tunes from a music icon who touched the hearts of virtually everyone for over four decades.

Glen Campbell’s hit songs and spectacular career come to life with Jimmy's truly sincere and heartfelt vocals and guitar playing, along with an incredible multi- media screen presentation.

PERFORMERS Jimmy Mazz Jimmy Mazz began singing at the age of 14 in a Junior High School band. Growing up in a small town in Western Massachusetts Jimmy's early desire was to be a musician and performer, a rockstar, writing and singing songs. Influenced by British Rock and the punk music scene in the early 80's, Jimmy joined the band Picture This. A few years later, he formed Real World and toured with his original songs winning many battle of the bands competitions and recording almost 60 songs. Joining the wedding band Breezin' in 1993 changed his direction dramatically. Jimmy noticed that this line of performing actually yielded income. The catch was that he needed to learn to be an entertainer, not just a performer. That wedding band experience became invaluable teaching Jimmy how to actually entertain an audience. Those years molded Jimmy into the consummate entertainer he is today headlining at The Superstar Theater and other great venues nationwide. Jimmy began freelancing as a bass guitar player and rock music singer until forming the one hit wonder group 2XS in the early 2000's. Performing mainly in restaurants and lounges, Jimmy eventually would take on shows as a solo performer singing to digital midi tracks. From there it spread like wildfire and Jimmy's musical selection expanded to incorporate all genres of music including Motown, Folk, Polka, swing and of course a healthy dose of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The more Jimmy performed, the more the word spread and the higher profile shows were offered. Jimmy now headlines for a full month each year in Atlantic City, performs in Las Vegas, aboard several cruise ships, and in many casinos, theaters, supper clubs and banquet facilities nationwide as he includes many celebrity impressions and hilarious comedy into his act. He's performed in Europe, the Caribbean and travels and tours extensively to bring many completely different and uniquely themed shows to audiences everywhere. Jimmy's many unique shows have vastly different themes that include various wardrobes, songs, jokes, and stories, but always include artist interpretations, amusing parodies, audience participation, humorous antics, trivia, history, and of course a ton of great singing culminating here in his tribute to Glen Campbell. Tommy Sandz Accomplished Guitarist Tommy Sandz has toured with many bands over the years ranging from heavy metal to country folk. His unique style and ability to "play between the lines" adds a subtle layer of rhythmic ambience to any song and his professionalism stands out. Joe Pereira Longtime Piano and multi keyboardist Joe Pereira has performed since boyhood with many noteworthy bands including the Western Mass Allstars and has toured with acts like "The Fab Four" and several top quality award- winning Elvis Presley Tribute acts. Joe lends that full brass or light strings touch to songs that make the overall show full and professional.
