Les Lankhorst is originally from Salina, Kansas and is a graduate of Kansas State University. He performs his one-man show all over the world - - on cruise ships, at resorts and at concert venues. Les is heavily influenced by some of the world’s legendary swing/jazz vocalists including Mel Tormé, Nat King Cole, and Harry Connick Jr., but is best known for his amazing Frank Sinatra stylings. In November 2005, Les joined the cast of “The Rat Pack is Back” in Las Vegas, Nevada as Frank Sinatra. More recently, Les headlined with The Guy Lombardo Orchestra and made a special appearance with members of the Acapulco Orchestra.
