Wonderful tribute performance..excellent voice & appearance

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyKing Krug gave a wonderful tribute performance of the legendary Elvis Presley. Being of the age group who "was there at the beginning of Elvis' career" and who saw him several times in Las Vegas, I can say first hand that King Kruk was as close to the real Elvis as anyone. King Krug's appearance, voice, friendly interactions with the audience were great. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an Elvis tribute artist.

Birthday PartyJames is not a cheesy Elvis act. He's the real deal, almost like having the real thing. He's a great singer, a great dancer, he's super handsome and charming and he was the hit of our party. James even remembered our guests' names and sang to them and added their names to the lyrics. The kids and the ladies loved this. If your looking for a really special entertainer he is the King!

Luncheon/TeaJames performed for my friends' Retirement Luncheon and he was AWESOME! He customized some of the songs for her, very personable and intereacted very well with the audience - he did a wonderful performance, Everybody that attended the luncheon said it was the best retirement party they've been to thanks to Elvis, and those that didn't wish they had! He truly made the retirement luncheon a hit, and beautiful memories for my friend. I'm glad I chose him from 4 others - i have no regrets whatsoever. He even stuck around and took pictures and didn't rush. If you're looking for an "Elvis" believe me, you won't regret or go wrong in hiring James Kruk for your function. Thank you James for making my friends retirement the talk of the town - you're the best!!

Holiday PartyI saw James Kruk for the 3rd time where he performed at Grand Oaks Senior Living in Thousand Oaks. CA. Again, he gave a fantastic performance. He projects much energy while singing, dancing, moving, and inter-acting with the audience.

I spoke to him after the performance, and congratulated him on his terrific show. He is very personable to talk to. He is sincere, kind, and friendly.

I am looking forward to seeing him again. Thank you James !

Birthday PartyI was more than impressed with Elvis at my mother's 65th birthday party. Not only did he put on an excellent show, he remembered my kids names and incorperated the audience into his performance. He made it a very special occasion for my mothers and all of us. King Kruk did an awesome performance and we all sang along in true ELVIS fashion. I would hire him again without question. We loved it!

Wedding CeremonyJames was a FANTASTIC Elvis! Everybody loved him and had a great time. I had so many people ask me "Where did you get him?" We had such a great time at our own wedding! And we were told over and over just how much fun it was. James was genuinely a nice guy. He helped us with our vows and and the ceremony when we had no idea what to do. He even lent me his hairspray when I forgot to bring my own. King Kruk looks like Elvis, sounds like Elvis and sings with such passion that even a non-Elvis lover is captivated. Hiring James was the best decision I made!

Highlight of 50th Birthday Party!!!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyIf you're looking for a great Elvis experience then look no further! James is a true professional, he really embodied Elvis in his performance. James sang a wide variety of Elvis songs my mom requested from his early days to the later years and a few gospel songs! James is extremely personable, friendly, and has a great sense of humor. He really did a great job involving the audience. James was so patient and never broke character throughout the after performance photo shoot with MANY family and friends. Save yourself the trouble of researching and go with James Kruk you won’t be disappointed! Thanks Again James, You Rocked It!

His performance will knock your socks off!!!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Holiday PartyIf you want to experience the thrill of a live Elvis concert, or if you want to hire “Elvis” for a special event, Do not look any further! "Elite Elvis Tribute Artist James King Kruk" is as close as it gets to experiencing Elvis Presley at his peak. James has it all; magnificent powerful Elvis like voice, striking good looks, charisma, perfect Elvis moves including karate moves, and most important, that rare unnamable Elvis quality that touches the heart and soul. His performance will knock your socks off!!! Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

Not only is James a highly gifted entertainer, he is a warm, friendly, fun guy; a grand addition to any party or event. Working with him is always a total pleasure and an honor.

Having hired James for three company events and personally attendeing four of his club performances, I know I can count on an amazing show each and every time.

James Performance at Christmas Party

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Christmas PartyJames performed at Grand Oaks Assisted Living (Thousand Oaks CA), where I reside, for our Christmas party. All the residents raved about the performance. He made the party a memorable event.

He sang both Elvis and holidays songs. He inter-acted with the audience, and extended well-meaning appreciation. After the performance, I was fortunate to have a photo taken with him and our Santa Claus.

This was the second time I saw James perform (he also performed at our Halloween party). I look forward to seeing him again. Thank you James.

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyJames was a phenomenal Elvis! We hired him for my mom's 70th birthday party and she nearly fell out of her chair when he walked in full garb, singing Happy Birthday. He put on nearly an hour-long show in my living room and all 30 guests were enraptured the whole time (including the younger of us). All of the guests, and especially we hosts, were so thrilled with James and would highly recommend him for any event that needs a little extra special something.

Elvis Lives!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyWe hired James to perform at my mother-in-law's 70th birthday party. He was fantastic!

Logistics -

We were able to book him at the last minute (another Elvis fell through, thankfully).

Reasonably priced.

Very easy to work with and accomodating.

Super friendly.

Arrived early.


Performance -

He sounded fantastic.

Had the Elvis moves (since it was an older crowd, we asked him to make sure it was a pg-version show, he was perfect. in fact, afterward the birthday girl remarked that she was glad he kept the hip gyrations to a minimum)

He took requests.

Our venue (a living room) wasn't the best. He had about 20 square feet (4'x5') to perform. He really made the most of it.

The birthday girl and her friends loved it.

One thing my wife and I both liked was that he wasn't 'in character' for the whole show. He sang like Elivs, and did some Elvis schtick, but he also stepped out of character to provide some background on his costume, jewelry, Evlis' life, etc.

Birthday PartyI hired King Kruk to perform for my Dad's birthday party. He did a fantastic show - from his entry and throughout his show. He sounds just like Elvis, looks like Elvis and moves like Elvis - what a treat! My dad said he was the best Elvis impersonator he ever saw (and he saw many in Vegas). I've been a fan of Elvis, I've now become of fan of King Kruk impersonating Elvis.

The Go-To Impersonator

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Private PartyJames Kruk is the best of four Elvis impersonators I have seen. His voice is excellent and very similar to Elvis' voice. He has the moves that make the show exciting, that none of the others had. He is personable; he talked about himself and the business of being an Elvis impersonator, so he was very real and we could relate to him. He was a gentleman at all times. He freely allowed pictures of himself and with members of the audience.

The Real Deal

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Club/NightclubYou have Elvis Tribute Artists (ETA), then you have Elvis impersonator hacks. James is the real deal ETA who performs a respectable, engaging, energetic show. He draws the audience in, makes us a part of the show and gives Elvis fans a taste of what might have been like at an Elvis concert.

Aside from his talents as an entertainer, he is a genuine nice guy who extends a sincere appreciation towards his fans. I'm a fan for life.

Bar/LoungeI have had the pleasure of seeing James "King" Kruk two times now. Recently I saw him perform at the Belly Up in Solano Beach. I know this may be hard to believe but I was not an Elvis fan. Let me tell you , I am now!

James is an amazing Elvis Tribute Artist. He has the talent, the looks, the energy, and is a genuine nice guy. He interacts with the audience and they feel like they are watching Elvis.

We were lucky enough to see James perform with Super Diamond. They did a duet together singing Sweet Caroline. Wow, it was a great moment. Elvis and Neil Diamond on stage. Very Cool.

I will be going to see James whenever he is in town. Thanks for making me an Elvis fan.

My FAVORITE 70's Style Elvis Tribute Artist!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Bar/LoungeI have seen James "King" Kruk on several occasions. The first time I saw James was at the Ultimate Elvis Tribute Artist Contest at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA. I was hooked! You see, I am a BIG Elvis fan, and I am always in search of a fantastic ETA. Well, James is fantastic!

In my opinion, a fantastic ETA must possess several qualities. They must be respectful, talented, engaging, attractive, and humble. James, thankfully, has all of these qualities.

I recently saw James at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, CA. He opened for the Tribute Artist Band, Super Diamond. James knocked it out of the ball park, but, for me, the highlight of the night was when James and Super Diamond did a duet of Sweet Caroline. I couldn’t help but imagine that that is what it would have been like if Elvis and Neil Diamond had shared a stage together.

My husband and I, for years, have been talking about renewing our wedding vows. Well, if, and when that happens, I can honestly say that James is at the top of our list for the entertainment. Until then, I’ll be happy following James around wherever he plays.

James Kruk - Performance at Halloween Party

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Halloween PartyI am a resident at Grand Oaks Assisted Living in Thousand Oaks, CA. James Kruk performed here at our Halloween party last month. He made the party a great success.

What a fantastic performance - his singing, dancing, and moves were so energetic. He is extremely talented and professional. He interacted with the residents during the performance. The performance was held in our dining room which was packed with our residents. He was the talk of our facility for days after the performance. Everyone commented that he was outstanding.

I spoke to him after the performance, and had a photo taken with him (which I am having custom framed). I look forward to see him again in future performances.

Luncheon/TeaTorrance Memorial Auxiliary had the pleasure of a personal visit from the one and only King. Elivis entertained the hospital volunteers with a trip down memory lane. Some of the volunteers slipped on their blue suede shoes and got all shook up to the sounds of Elvis gold. We sang and danced and thoroughly enjoyed James Kruk as Elvis. We would highly recommend James and would definitely have him return should the need arise. James took the time to walk thru the crowd and involve them in the entertainment. A good time was had by all.

King Kruk is the best and most entertaining "Elvis"!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyOn 9/10/11 I attended the 40th birthday party of a very special family friend named Michael S. Michael was born with cerebral palsy. Michael has always loved all types of music and especially The King, Elvis Presley. What a treat we had when King Kruk arrived in the full persona of Elvis! His voice is amazing and so like Elvis' you really believe you are seeing and hearing Elvis! In addition to his awesome performance and interacting with the audience; he is sincere, warm and so kind.
My heart is full not only because of his wonderful performance but because of who he is.
I highly recommend King Kruk for any event you plan to have.
And...if you know someone who would like to have a phone call from King Kruk (wouldn't that be so much fun?), he can do that as well!
Blessings to you King Kruk!

Best Elvis out there!

rating starrating starrating starrating starrating star

Birthday PartyWe hired James (aka Elvis) for a birthday party for my mother, who turned 73, and who is a lifelong Elvis fan. He was able to accommodate us at the last minute, and he really made my mother’s birthday a special event for her and everyone else attending. James has the great Elvis looks and Elvis moves, great personality of Elvis (kind and generous), and most importantly, an incredible voice. In fact, he sounded so much like Elvis that my mother thought he was lip syncing to the real Elvis Presley. Some of the notes he hit took our breath away, and he had us singing along with him and my mother up and dancing with him. We highly recommend him and would love to have him come up again for her 74th!
