Obie Sparks: Elvis Tribute Artist

fun, fun , fun and losts of memories. plus interaction with the fans with scarfs and sing-a-longs at times

I have been a ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST for over 50 years since January 1976 and have done shows all across the country , i am also a ordained minister who can do wedding services , I have done movies , TV , radio and have been in many newspapers and magazines plus i have been in numerous contests in which I have won or placed in . I am a Presley family member but cannot state in what way I am related ( as per a promise made to them ) . in 2011 I was nominated and inducted into the Elvis Tribute Artist Hall of Fame in Memphis by long time ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST and friend named Johnny Harra because of my many years as a performer . i have been paying tribute to Elvis for over 50 + years and i come to all my events with a variety of songs spanning the 50s through the 70s and am willing to accommodate and perform some song requests. I give out scarves at different times during the show and interact with the crowd to keep it interesting and I had at times worked with my brother-in-law, T.R., who payed tribute to country legend Conway Twitty and also did gospel music; also at times we have worked with a D.J. who has over 800 songs to choose from. The D.J. played filler music before and after the shows so that people can dance and have fun. my prices are reasonable because I know that most people don`t have much to spend . I have performed in shows all over the country , including birthday parties, grand openings, nursing home events, anniversaries, and even commercials, movies , tv ,radio and other special events. in 2011 I was Honored and inducted into the ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST HALL OF FAME and in 2018 i was Honored and inducted into THE INTERNATIONAL ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST HALL OF FAME , then in February 2020 i was Honored with my induction into the Strathmore`s Who`s Who ( I was told that I was the only ETA to ever be inducted ) . I Also Can Legally officiate weddings Because I Am a Ordained Minister . let me see what I can do for you at your special event . I am also featured in the 2025 Edition of the World of Elvis Tribute Artists by Lee Jackson ( page 116 ) , thank you for your interest and looking forward to entertaining everyone at your event .

most of the time I use whatever the person has who hires me has to use to play music, so that there won`t be a lot of time setting up and the reason I asked this question to them is because some people will charge a lot just to tote and set up their equipment plus for their performance and I`ll ask if they already have something already , then it wouldn`t be much to do their event and it would save them money and it would be a quick set up on the music .
