February 9, 2010
Styles to put on free show tonight
Styles incorporates magic while impersonating well-known stars such as Michael Jackson, Austin Powers, Jim Carrey, George W. Bush, Macy Gray, Robin Williams and many others.
Comedy, singing, dancing, magic, illusions and impressions — Brandon Styles is a one-man entertainer who executes an assortment of stunts in one show.
Styles incorporates magic while impersonating well-known stars such as Michael Jackson, Austin Powers, Jim Carrey, George W. Bush, Macy Gray, Robin Williams and many others.
“His first impression was Michael Jackson,” his assistant and wife Diamond Kranenberg said. “He sang and danced in a talent show when he was in second grade, and he won.”
Kranenberg said Styles has been performing his show for about eight years and recently began touring colleges in September. She mentioned one thing he loves about performing is the audience’s reaction and making them happy.
“He just started impersonating Green Day,” Kranenberg said. “He’s only performed that at one other place, so it’s one of his newer ones.”
Styles will take the stage at 7 tonight in the Rathskeller. The show is free for Kent State students.
