May 8th 2012 Just to touch base with everyone...We are still in Canada and not too sure yet on when we will return. The weather is cool here with lots of rain. I really miss PCB and hopefully we can get back there some day soon! The music is not the same here...I really prefer the beach, but we have to do what we can while we are here. Hi to all my friends! Peter
April 1st 2011
We regret to say that Peter and his wife have moved back up north because of family medical problems. No word as yet of when they will return. We would like to thank all our friends and great clients for all their support through the years. It was a GREAT 10 years and we made many good acquaintances which will be in our minds forever. Hopefully this dilema will pass fairly quickly...there is nothing like the salt water air and the 'Most Beautiful Beaches' of PCB. It will be in our hearts forever!
Days Gone By
I added some pics of fans and friends that i have met through the years. I started out with Fans From 2002-2003 I'm sure you will recognize many of them as are still coming out for a few drinks and dances.
Last Year was a great year of entertainment and it's great to see Sooooo Many people coming out on the entertainment days. I would like to thank everyone for supporting live music!!! Salty Sue's and the Tiki Bar have been the HOTTEST spots on the west end of the beach all winter, a SPECIAL thanks to all the loyal people that made it happen.
PS: Peter has 8 different live CD's available at his shows, the latest one is called 'The Golden Age of Rockn' Roll'

Peter Shelly is an entertainer with a unique style, AKA the 'Man with many Voices' by many people. Because Peter started doing impressions of Elvis, Roy Orbison, Rod Stewart, Patsy Cline, Natalie Cole, Alan Jackson, Toby keith and more he earned the title of 'The Great Pretender' which has been with him for several years.
His music consists of Rock, Country Rock, Motown, Latin and also show tunes with a vast repetoire of over 600 tunes onstage ready for the asking. Having the ability to read an audience has always been a big thing. There are no sets to follow (you'll never hear the same songs at the same time etc...which is usually par for a band as they only have 40 tunes or less to work with.) so different songs are played nightly and also he will read the audience and see what they are in to and the fun begins.
Being personable with the audience has also helped to gain a good following. Just knowing their favorite songs, etc and playing them during the night was a really good touch. The entertainer does not make the people, the people make the entertainer.
Peter has played in Nashville at The Nashville Palace and has worked bars, lounges and private banquets with many repeats.
If you are looking for an entertainer that can entertain most people of all ages, look no further...Peter Shelly is someone you should consider.
Just watching a live performance will have you smiling and even laughing at times.
Great NEWS!!! Peter was chosen as the Featured entertainer on the Gulf Coast for the month of May 2008...Click HERE to see the article!

Good Dining Places in PCB
I have compiled a list of good places to dine while on vacation in Panama City Beach. I hope you like them as much as we did. You can click HERE or click on the Good Dining in PCB Link
Live Stage Songs
I've added some live stage songs and will be updating them at least once a month or more, thanks for viewing my page. Just click on the Live Cover Tunes link.
Music Styles
Peter has a repetoire of 600+ songs (click HERE for a Sample Song List) which are fully orchestrated, ranging from classic rock, country rock, pop and also latin tunes, being able to read a crowd makes for a great night of entertainment for all ages. All that said, The Great Pretender sounds like an entire band, utilizing a digital harmonizer (adds harmony vocals to tunes) drums, bass, strings, horns, etc.
Vocal and physical impressions wearing different trademark wigs and head gear add to the visual part of the show. Artists that are portrayed by The Great Pretender are:
Willie Nelson, Rod Stewart, Elvis, Roy Orbison, John Lennon, Elton John, Patsy Cline, Natalie Cole and Alan Jackson, and of course, new ones are added as he gets more comfortable with the vocals.
