What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 15 - 120 minutes

The Big Elvis Show is all about the music of the era! It is definitely a show for all ages to enjoy. When the music starts, and Big Elvis steps onstage, the party begins!

The Big Elvis Show is fun! It is an audience interactive experience. The show is typically request driven, and there are not set lists. If you hire Big Elvis for an entire evening of multiple shows, each one will be different. His repertoire of songs spans genres and over 900 titles.

Also, Big Elvis interacts with the fans, going into the audience to shake hands, give hugs, and gift scarfs. He calls for audience participation in at least 1 skit per set, involving Elvis props (wig, sunglasses, inflatable guitars and moroccas) when he gives prizes for participation.

Big Elvis is great at reading an audience to determine the type songs they would enjoy. Even if the audience starts out quiet, by the second song, they are up dancing and singing along! Keep in mind that Big Elvis fills a Lounge to SRO on weekday afternoons, 12 times a week. His voice, mannerisms and charismatic personality have earned him numerous awards and press recognition throughout the years.

Big Elvis is always the hit of the party, especially for corporate functions. He is a repeat performer for many events yearly.
