Choosing An Elvis Tribute For Your Event

By Essie Osborn


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 a lot of great performers there are a number of different eras. There was the early performer. This was the man who performed at Sun Records with other influential rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis. This performer was the threatening and dangerous rock and roller that got his gyrating hips censored on the Ed Sullivan show.

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.

This is what you need to consider when choosing an impersonator. Some people may go for a wide range of songs from his whole career. Others may choose to focus on the pre GI era or the later period when he was managed by Colonel Tom Parker, arguably making Elvis the first pop creation that would go on to influence everyone from The Beatles to One Direction.

It should also be noted that some entertainers have other skills. They may be able to pour cocktails and serve drinks. Others may be able to perform magic or make balloon animals for children. They can often provide a little bit of extra added value and some unexpected additional entertainment.

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 numerous impersonators online. Some will be through agencies and others will represent themselves. Whether through an agency or sought independently you should see them in person so you can discuss your requirements and find out about what they charge. For example you should check to see if travel costs and insurance will be included and how long they will stay at your event. With the right approach you will find the best impersonator for your event.
