Tailgate Display & Party Entertainment
Stephanie Sanchez
Stephanie's career has spanned over 20 years on the Las
Vegas Strip. She has headlined production shows and fronted
bands of covers as well as her own original music. She is a
multi-talented performer and it is that talent that has taken
her from singing with David Cassidy and Sheena Easton to dancing
with Cris Judd and Pink. She brings a high-energy performance to
all genres, but her own personal brand of music is a mix of
Southern and Classic rock.
Peter Lucibelli
A gifted singer/songwriter with several songs from his
CDs—“Pieces of Me” and “Waiting For You”—currently being played
on radio stations in North Carolina, Boston, Cape Cod, Martha’s
Vineyard and Connecticut.
Peter’s skills include guitar, percussion, vocals and harmonica,
with a bit of keyboards. Peter has composed music for film,
commercials and television and been in both original and cover
bands over the past 20 years, playing in venues from New York
City and stretching throughout New England. Back in the ’90s,
Peter performed with Wildside, the house band for Comic Strip
Live in New Haven, CT.
