Bring Back Rock With Elvis Impersonator

By George Mitchell


There was a time down south when people lived for music amid all the unrest and the war they may have inflicted on themselves. Years later, it would cement superstars of rock n roll and good old country music. Among the few acts that had established a name that won both America and the world over, one man was by far the biggest star.

Born in Mississippi and hardened by its difficult southern unrest in those early decades of rock, Elvis Presley gave his generation a thirst they never knew existed. They devoured him. They begged for his performances and many years later he has elvis impersonator san francisco keeping his image alive.

Sure, it would be nothing like having the man himself performs for you. But he did not even live to be fifty, and the culture he defined made sure that his memory lived on for all those who were not yet born or got the chance to experience his art in the flesh. There was no on quite like him back in the days.

Not even Johnny Cash made an impact as enormous as this boy from Mississippi did. Frank Sinatra may have made girls swoon but Presley may have been the biggest of the circle of stars who defined that generation. Through his music and the way he moved, he encouraged the youth to defy the rules and rebelled with them.

Doing it professionally and making a living out of it may well be more than what one had bargained for. But impersonators are common today. Especially for an icon like that man. He had a signature look with clothes that you would not mistake on any other artist.

Finding one that would pass as Presley could get challenging since there are so many of them in the industry. Unlike before, this kind of thing is more than just for fun. People love to see performances with the man they had loved but maybe never known in the flesh before and would never get the chance to, come alive.

If you do not have a prospect yet, feel free to ask family and friends who have worked with these types of performers before. They may know a thing or two on how to go about booking them. They usually work in agencies and it is best to check the legalities too when necessary.

There would be so many that it can get overwhelming. Most of them works with an agency so you will have to direct your questions there and asks for samples of performances through videos, depending on what material they would like to show to let you hire them. Check who the person is and judge for yourself.

You would know who your man is if you yourself are a fan. It is all about the hair, the open neck suit and pants with the shining shoes. It would not take long for you to figure it out. Of course, the moves would matter just as much. The man was larger than life element and something that could not come close to even just a fraction of that would not be worth it.
