A multi-talented singer, songwriter, musician, dancer and actor,
Earl Turner cannot recall a moment without music in his life. At the
age of 13, Earl made his performing debut, was rewarded with a
payment of fifty cents and was hooked. At 19 years of age, Earl
began pursuing his musical dreams traveling the U.S. with various
show bands. Later, he began working as a front man and solo
recording artist. In the mid 80's, Earl had a Top 40 dance hit in
Europe, "Love Caught You By Surprise."
From the start, audiences and critics loved his act; an act made up
"of songs that people can relate to, songs of any genre. I really
like music that's fun." One critic wrote, "Earl Turner Live is an
evening that you should not miss." Another noted, "More than
anything else, Turner wins over the crowd by working hard."
He's performed at many major hotel casinos across the country
including the Luxor, Caesars Palace, The Showroom at the Rio
All-Suites Hotel and Casino, The Showroom at Harrah's in Laughlin,
Nevada. In 2004 Harrah's New Orleans transformed the Mansion
