LI’S TOP ENTERTAINERS
BEST BAND
MOTU
Long Islanders have turned to MOTU,
a popular blues enthusiast and musician,
as a source for the latest in music.
MOTU is the recipient of two Billboard
Music Awards, and a past semifinalist of
the International Blues Challenge. The
singer-songwriter has a growing global
fan base that can also be demonstrated
from his more than 450,000 Indie CD
and DVD sales, 200,000 (and growing)
followers on Facebook, and 7.9 million
views of his live videos on YouTube.
He offers his fans a breath of fresh air
with unique style and energy. With
fashionable style and flashy guitars,
MOTU wows crowds and is the talk of
the party at any event! motu.net
BEST CELEBRITY
IMPERSONATOR
Louise Bruno as Cher
Louise Bruno is not afraid to “turn back
time” while making you “believe in life
after love.” Bruno and her tribute act
“The CHER-iest Show on Earth” takes
you on a musical journey of five decades
of hits filled with the glitz and glamour
from the iconic singer. Bruno’s striking
resemblance to Cher continues to captivate
those who have seen her throughout
the island, and for the third year in
a row, she has been chosen as Long Island’s
Best Celebrity Impersonator. Like
Cher, Bruno is not ready to relinquish
her star power just yet! 631-772-5226,

BEST COMEDIAN
Jim Breuer
Jim Breuer is the definition of a top New
York comedian, and Long Islanders
continue to think so. For the fifth consecutive
year, the funnyman has been
chosen as the best and has no plans to
relinquish that title. Perhaps it’s his
stint on Saturday Night Live in the mid-
1990s that stands out. Or perhaps, it’s
his roles in Half-Baked and Kevin Can
Wait that keep people wanting more.
Maybe it’s his memorable standups on
Comedy Central that have introduced
him to millennials. Or maybe, just maybe,
it’s the way he keeps in touch with
his roots through his passionate, New
York Mets-filled video rants on Facebook
that evoke the Long Island spirit
among everyone. officialjimbreuer.com
BEST COVER BAND
The 90’s Band
If you grew up in the 90s, chances
are you still headbang to “Smells Like
Teen Spirit,” tear up to “Don’t Speak”
or lip-sync to “Baby One More Time”
when no one is looking. The 90’s Band
brings all the hits of the 20th century’s
last decade to one stage. From Pearl
Jam and NSYNC to Alanis Morissette
and even Ace of Base, the group’s
repertoire takes each audience back
to the days of cassette tapes, plaid
shirts and Game Boys. Head to their
website to book them for your next
party and check out show dates. You
know all the words to the classics,
so party like it’s 1995 and rock on
with The 90’s Band! 646-397-3547,
