About
At First glance this “rough around the edges” Australian looks like he belongs on the football field rather than the stage, however, Steve Judkins has had a career in Musical Theater, Jazz, Blues and Swing music spanning over 20 years.
For the past two and half years Steve Judkins has been the Host and Lead Male Vocalist at the Mayfair Supper Club inside the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas strip. The Mayfair is one of the most popular Jazz spots in Vegas and Steve has been fortunate enough to perform for the likes of Lady Gaga, The Jonas Brothers, Floyd Mayweather, Snoop Dog, Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak… who even jumped in and played drums on a few numbers! Steve was also the first performer in history to sing live and in sync to the world famous Bellagio Fountains.
“The Mayfair is a home away from home for some of the worlds top entertainers and celebrities who are looking for somewhere to relax and listen to some extraordinary musicians “ (Sean Christie – President of Events and Nightlife for MGM Resorts International)
Prior to his work in Vegas Steve starred on London’s West End in productions of The full Monty, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Notre Dame De Paris and USA productions of Shrek, Mamma Mia , Newsies, Kiss Me Kate, Victor Victoria and Oklahoma.
In his native home of Melbourne, Australia Steve performed in stage hits such as West Side Story, The Rocky Horror Show, Billy Elliot and Jekyll and Hyde as well as fronting his own Blues/Jazz Band.
Steve’s passion for Blues and Jazz music grew from a young age after his Grandfather (who actually was a champion Aussie Rules Football player) handed him a blues harmonica at the age of twelve and Steve never looked back.
Due to his diverse musical tastes his audiences never know what is around the corner. From classic Blues numbers by legends such as B.B King and Robert Johnson through to tunes by Sinatra, Bennet and Nat King Cole. Steve also throws a little musical theatre in for good measure leaving his audiences whistling tunes they haven’t heard in years.
His broad Aussie accent and somewhat cheeky demeanor definitely play a role in Steve’s connection with his audiences but at the end of the day it’s his incredible voice that they remember most.
