Elvis John

With regard to the show itself, you can expect Elvis "moves." This would include karate kicks and punches and other signature moves Elvis did with particular songs. I enjoy doing them and judging by audience reaction, they do too! If I'm wearing a jumpsuit (as opposed to my '68 black leather suit), you can expect some scarves to be handed out. I am available after the event for meet and greet and photos.

In 2016 I took first place in the "Search For The King" contest (Waupun). I am also the back to back winner for 2013 and 2014 "Kings of the Valley" contest (Oshkosh). I was also a top finalist at the 2015 "Elvis Explosion" event (Lacrosse). In fact, I have been a finalist in any event I have ever entered.

My repertoire covers songs from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, including gospel songs. A typical one hour show will include a mix of everything. A longer multi set show will include a new outfit with each set.

The outfits are an important consideration for any Elvis show because Elvis is so identified by what he wore. My jumpsuits are faithful reproductions of the actual outfits Elvis wore on stage. The are stunning. I have also created a wonderful 1950s and 1960s ensemble and have a reproduction of the leather outfit from the '68 comeback. Rounding out the outfit options, I also have several high collar puffy sleeve shirts that work well with some venues. Plus every program, regardless of length, includes a meet and greet photo opportunity. And of course I always have some scarves to share.

I am punctual and will arrive early with time to set up and get dressed into my stage outfit so I am ready to begin the show according to your time table. If you're looking for a surprise Elvis appearance with just a few songs, I also have a secondary, very portable sound system for those occasions!

In addition to private parties, benefits, and public venue events, I have performed at more than 60 different assisted living communities throughout Wisconsin.

I recently attended a SPARK conference in Appleton that works to develop engaging programs for people with memory loss. This has been valuable to me as I engage with those living at assisted living communities, especially with those living within memory care units of those communities.

My show really is about the audience: shaking hands, kneeling by a person and singing a verse directly to them. Even sharing the mic with a fan. My goal is to provide you and your guests with a great and memorable show.

My sound system consists of two Electro Voice ZLX 15P speakers and a shure wireless hand held mic. All my backing tracks are on an ipad. I also have lights available for use when needed and a backdrop for larger events.

What this means for you is I just need outlet to plug into. This system runs fine plugging into a single outlet in the wall of your home or venue.

Finally, this system sets up quickly and and has a small footprint so space is never an issue.
