Impersonator, Singer, Multi-Instrumentalist Musician, Band Leader
Lynn "Win" Roberts has been performing professionally since the age of 14. Starting out as a musician and majoring in music at the University of Nebraska, Lynn played with many name bands and was featured as a vocalist and Instrumentalist.
In 1964, Lynn started developing his musical variety act playing over a dozen Instruments and singing. He would hear from time to time that he sounded or looked like certain stars which lead to impersonating many of them.
Many times he was requested to do a show of just impersonating stars... His favoites are Bob Hope, Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Jimmy Durante, and W.C. Fields. Lynn also impersonates famous band leaders as well. As a Bandleader and Conductor, Lynn has produced a variety of shows and produced the whole package for corporate events, fairs, concerts, and private parties.
Lynn performs a one man show suitable for concert, conventions and dinner theater. Lynn is a member of AFM, AFTRA, Entertainment Network and IGCITA. His appearances on National Television include: PM Magazine, the Original GONG SHOW (Twice a winner), John Davidson Show (Twice), American's Funniest people, 30 Seconds to Fame, Bozo Circus (Twice) WGNTV and many local and regional shows nationally.
As an additional attraction, Lynn has developed a one of a kind musical show where he plays two saxes at the same time, two trumpets at the same time, and a sax & clarinet together sounding like a Bag Pipes. Lynn also has made some novelty instruments which include a musical golf club, musical baseball bat (Fiddle Bat), fire extinguisher trumpet, Hose-a-phone, slide plunger and several more.
The music of the big bands will always be Lynn's greatest joy and leading his Big Band or the Swinging Saxes Band is always a thrilling experience.
