One moment he and his spectacular band will be weaving a song by Adele into a Lionel Richie classic, and the next, marrying Bruno Mars “Just the Way You Are” with the iconic “This Magic Moment”. All the while sharing his incredible Cinderella story that began with a dream of being able to make it as a singer and make people happy.

Now more than ever, people need to feel hope that they can make something of their own lives. Which is why Chris Ruggiero’s “Livin’ the Dream” delivers a musically uplifting experience that engages and inspires audiences and lives on in their hearts long after he leaves the stage.
