There are some people who changed popular culture forever. Bruce Lee, Marilyn Monroe and James Dean are just a few examples. But in terms of defining what popular culture is it can be hard to think of a more significant figure than Elvis Presley. If you want something to make your event memorable then it is worth choosing an Elvis tribute act.
Like The Beatles there are various eras of Elvis. Some impersonators will do the broad range of hits while others will specialise in certain areas. What you have to do is decide what is best suited to the kind of event you want to do and whether or not the impersonator is appropriate to what you want.
For example with an older audience they are more likely to want the earlier Elvis who performed at Sun Records and before he went to the army. These tend to be the more rock and roll style and are a bit rougher and edgier than the later Colonel Parker era records.
However when people tend to think of Elvis they tend to associate him with the Vegas era. Even people who are not aware of his music will know the rhinestone jumpsuit, the big sunglasses and the karate chops in the middle of the chorus of Suspicious Minds. Arguably this is the kind of impersonator you get for people who may not necessarily be familiar with the pre army incarnation.
Another thing to consider is the style of the event. If it is a formal event then you may not necessarily want someone who is constantly in character. You may well prefer to set up a stage, let them do their act and let the impersonator get changed and go on to another event elsewhere.
While a lot of people love someone doing a show on stage more people want a full experience. Increasingly people want interactive entertainment for their event. For example some performers go to weddings and do other forms of entertainment as well as singing such as acting in character while serving drinks or doing balloon animals for the kids.
It is also worth checking to see what kind of performance they do. Some people may simply go on stage and sing. However others may offer a more interactive style of show. For example some weddings book impersonators that stay in character for the whole event, serving drinks and making announcements. It can make the event very memorable, especially if you get the best possible impersonator available in your price range.
You can find various tribute acts, performers and impersonators online. Some will be independent and others will work through agencies. If you work for a charity it is worth asking to see if they will be prepared to lower their fee for you. Look online to see what is available in your local area and to get feedback from people who have used performers in the past. With the right approach you will find the right performer to get your audience all shook up in a good way!
