A DIFFERENT KIND OF ELVIS TRIBUTE
Hey, do you remember those fun Elvis musicals where he would be singing on a Hawaiian beach with an unplugged electric guitar while being surrounded by a group of go-go dancing bikini-clad girls? Well, so do we and we're bringing our Elvis Movie Tribute all around, leaving our audiences humming the tunes from Blue Hawaii, Viva Las Vegas, Girls, Girls, Girls, Jailhouse Rock and all of the other classic films from Elvis' "movie years".
We are not your typical Elvis tribute. We are a rockin' band with an upbeat, interactive show where not only do we put on a performance, but so do you as our we invite you on stage to sing back-up as well as join us for some go-go dancing.
To get you in the right mood, our stage is decorated with Hawaiian leis, glittery dice, and teddy bears to recreate that Viva Las Vegas/Blue Hawaii, feel. Our nostalgic set list includes great movie tunes like “Teddy Bear”, “Return To Sender” and “Can’t Help Falling In Love”, as well as classic Elvis hits like “Hound Dog”, “It’s Now Or Never” and “The Wonder Of You”. An additional treat is assorted tunes from the era from artists like Little Richard, Bobby Darin, Ray Charles, and Dion.
Each one of us in the band has decades of experience behind us, but we are still out there having a great time performing in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, as well as playing live on the radio. In fact, this might be the most fun we've ever had. We are:
