About Steve Brandes with or without The Easy Street Band
Steve has been performing his tribute to Elvis for 15 years and is quickly becoming a premier tribute artist in the metropolitan St. Louis area due to his astounding, pure vocal ability and high energy shows. Steve has amazing range and the more operatic the song, the stronger his vocals become. Steve's true passion for Elvis' music lies in the latter years of Elvis' career when he was known for hitting the "big" notes, making the audience "feel" his words and sending fans into a state of frenzy or bringing them to tears. The uncanny resemblance of Steve's vocal to that of Elvis' will amaze you. You can hire Steve as a solo act or with his band.
Biography:
The first time I saw Elvis was in 1973 on T.V. in the Aloha from Hawaii concert. I was awe struck with the legend then and still as a teenager. As a young man, I sang and acted in many school plays.
In 1992 I started going to karaoke gigs. One night my grandfather suggested that I sing an Elvis song, so I did. After a standing ovation from the crowd and people telling me that my voice had an uncanny resemblance to Elvis', I knew I was meant to pay homage to the King of Rock 'N Roll.
The screaming crowd while I was standing on a stage made me think how amazing life must have been for Elvis while he was performing, and so I decided to pursue a career as a tribute artist. I have been performing my 1970's style stage show for over 10 years.
There is a difference between a Tribute Artist and an Impersonator. I consider myself a Tribute Artist. I do not live "it" off stage, nor do I talk in first person, neither do I ever say that I am Elvis. There was only one Elvis and he deserves the respect for what he contributed to the music industry.Recently,Steve has become sponsored by KZQZ 1430AM out of St. Louis,MO. and co-host a show on the air called "A Tribute to Elvis and Friends".
