Reviews
“Whether singing aboard the Titanic, performing a new arrangement of “Ol’ Man River,” or caressing Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Music of the Night,” L.A.’s longest-running Phantom essentially STOLE THE SHOW. – Los Angeles Times
“Gaines is a BREATHTAKING concert artist, strong yet nuanced. The way he can express great tenderness one moment, great power the next, seems little short of MIRACULOUS.” – The New York Post
“You don’t need Three Tenors when you have one Davis Gaines…a RHAPSODIC INTERPRETER of musical theatre [with] a range embracing pop, country, folk and very probably genres not yet named.” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Gaines’ vocal approach was often MASTERFUL, applying a sensitivity that helped connect the tunes to the listener…. his sustained crescendos surely must be the best of any male singer…the concert edition of Gaines also benefited from his air of humility and a quietly charming sense of humor.” – The Orange County Register
“[Gaines] has it all: CHARM, PRESENCE, GOOD LOOKS, a FABULOUS VOICE, STELLAR MUSICIANSHIP and – HE CAN ACT! Gaines’ talent for captivating singing is something to behold.” – Nevada-Events.net
