Class. Care. Craft.
I believe in building something real — not just applause, but a connection.
When I sing, I want to lead with my heart, make people feel joy, and bring back the grace and class that meant something to my heroes — and still means something today.
I’m not here to imitate anyone. I’m here to move you — with passion, sincerity, and soul.
My style is rooted in showmanship without ego, charm without pretense, and connection without gimmicks. I aim to grow a community of people who love this music, who value elegance, and who want to slow down and feel something again.
“MUSIC THAT HONORS THE MOMENT... THE ROOM FEELS DIFFERENT WHEN HE SINGS.”
Whether you once sat in a Vegas showroom with Sinatra or Sammy, or you’re just discovering this music through Bublé or Gaga — my job is the same: to carry the spirit of it forward. Not perfectly, but personally.
Because I’ve lived inside these songs for decades, and every time I sing them, I try to give them back to you in a way that’s honest — one performance, one story, one connection at a time.
This isn’t just about nostalgia. It’s about showing up for what matters — with edge, authenticity, and a deep respect for your night out.
Let’s make it count.

Biographical Information
With a classic voice and a taste for old-school charm, Ryan Baker blends vintage cool with a modern sensibility. Originally from Long Island and based in Las Vegas since 2003, he began his professional career as a Sinatra tribute artist, co-creating and starring in Shades of Sinatra, which twice opened for Don Rickles. That led to featured roles in Rat Pack–style shows like the touring Drinkin’, Singin’, Swingin’ and the long-running Vegas hit The Rat Pack Is Back. Most recently, he starred in the Sinatra tribute Frankly Frank from 2023 to 2025, during its successful run at the Alexis Park Resort.
In 2014, Ryan recorded and co-produced his debut album Timeless Again, a warm and stylish set of jazz standards that earned critical acclaim and national airplay. He’s since become a mainstay on the Vegas jazz scene, with performances at The Dispensary Lounge, Maxan Jazz, and Vic’s — and has also maintained a connection to New York, notably through his repeat appearances at Jazz at Kitano.
Today, Ryan stars in and produces Big Band Crooners, a high-energy theatrical concert backed by a live 17-piece orchestra, celebrating the music of Sinatra, Bobby Darin, Michael Bublé, and other vocal greats. Whether on a grand stage or in an intimate lounge, he brings grace, groove, and a deep love for the music — keeping the timeless spirit of the American songbook alive for a new generation.
