Especially when celebrity impersonator John Truncali performs his high-energy "Tom Jones Tribute Show," on Tuesday, July 9, 2019, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at Woodland Park!

Seating is provided and the show is open to the public.
Appearing at events and festivals in Europe, Canada, the Caribbean, and throughout the USA (including top Chicago area venues like the United Center and Allstate Arena), multi-talented John Truncali not only sounds like legend Tom Jones, he's a look-a-like as well, wowing audiences-- and not just the ladies-- with his own great renditions of the hit songs of the Welsh singing icon. John's impressive vocal impression repertoire (mixed with comedy) also includes other greats like Elvis, Humperdinck, Diamond, Rat Pack, Joe Cocker and many others. John's also shared the stage with such rock and roll singing stars as Frankie Valli, The Beach Boys, Dennis DeYoung, Joey Dee, Bobby Rydell and more and his other career accomplishments include being a lead vocalist, band leader, arranger, guitarist, radio studio announcer and personality, commercial voice-over jingle artist, and actor in Chicago.
