View student gallery - Listen to student music** Steve Pennington has had the honor of being a "Santa Model" for thirty(30) years now. After a local school principle ask him to be their Santa one season, he became "hooked" on creating the "Jolly Ole Elf" to the best of his ability with his roots in theater. Then it seemed obvious to combine his piano skills with Santa visits and he created Santa Sing-alongs (www.SantaSingAlongs.com) where he goes to schools, churches and civic organizations and has people call out their favorite Christmas favorites to be sung by all. With his growing collection of outfits, now numbering 17, Santa Steve is ready to perform in any scenario. From home parties to country clubs and hotels you will get the best dressed Santa in the business! He annually takes his "Sing-along" to ABC 33/40 television where he shares his student's talents on live TV during six weeks of the holiday season. His vocal students get to accompany him to many events allowing them more opportunities to perform annually.
