Welcome to the official website of Ricky Fontayne

Ricky has been in the music business for over 25 years and during that time his outstanding versatile vocal performance has earned him the title of 'Mr Rock'n'Roll'.
 
During the 80's and 90's Ricky was the lead singer of top Midlands based Rock'n'Roll band Chevy'57 who toured the many clubs, pubs and rock and roll venues up and down the country until 1998 when Chevy'57 disbanded.
 
After a long break Ricky decided to return to the music scene and go it alone, so in 2006 he re-launched his music career as a solo artiste with the aid of top quality backing tracks and computer technology. Since then Ricky hasn't looked back. His solo career has 'snowballed' to the extent that he is always on tour somewhere in the UK or Europe, thrilling audiences and crowds, young and old alike

He is now regarded as one of the best 50's and 60's tribute acts in the UK. Ricky hopes to continue performing his blend of rock'n'roll for many years to come, keeping rock'n'roll music alive for all ages to enjoy
