Attending An Elvis Tribute San Francisco

By Cornelia White


Finding an Elvis tribute San Francisco is not difficult. He is one of the most famous and well known performers of all time and although he is no longer performing live he lives on in the thousands of people who impersonate him and attempt to match his talent. Nearly forty years after his death, he still has as many fans and followers as he did as a young entertainer.

He began singing as a child in the church he and his mother attended. His career as a rock and roll singer did not start until 1956 when he recorded Heartbreak Hotel for RCA. His success with that song and appearances on television with Jack Paar and Ed Sullivan made him a star. He sang in all arenas of music from ballads to rock-a-billy. His ability to cross over into all types of music gathered audiences from all age and social groups.

His career eventually took him to Hollywood and he starred in several movies that although they made plenty of money were not Academy Award winners. After a short break that lasted approximately seven years he made his come back and returned to the live stage for the rest of his life. Three days after his death in 1977 a new song was released and became an instant hit. There have been new versions of his music released nearly every year since his death.

Today there are many people who have copied his style of dance, dress and speech. A few can imitate his singing voice when performing some of his hit songs. Very few of these people can cover the full spectrum of his talent.

You can book an appearance with an impersonator to entertain at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries or any special event you like. Many entertainers do excellent impressions of the King and you should be pleased with their performance. Generally though, these private shows do not rise to the level of being called a tribute. You need to look to a much larger venue for that.

Fans and followers often hold conferences in honor of the King. Impersonators dress the role and perform on and off stage. A general atmosphere of party prevails and the public is encouraged to attend and enjoy the show. Through all of this, the professionals find time to peruse auditoriums filled with memorabilia and unique items to add to their repertoires.

In September 2013 the Giants base ball team sponsored a game dedicated to his memory with all proceeds going to charity. During the game and prior to it the audience was treated to performances by some of the best impersonators available. The first twenty thousand attendees were given bobble-head dolls and posters depicting the event. The game was a sell out and many fans came dressed as The King.

The baseball game was the most recent Elvis tribute San Francisco and it proved to be a great success. There were several winners during and after the event. The fans were treated to a tremendous show as well as gifts and a knock out win by the Giants and the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation received a donation of the proceeds from the game.
