Fasten your seatbelts as we take you on a journey through the musical career of the King of Rock 'n' Roll from the early days at Sun Records with The Blue Moon Boys (Elvis, Scotty & Bill) through to the very last days and major biggest selling hits of all time.

Emilio Santoro (at only 21 years old) has already become a renowned entertainer and ETA since winning the European Championship and also the "Images Of The King" World Championship at Elvis Week at Graceland! Emilio is constantly on tour, not just in UK but globally. If you haven't yet seen him in person, or on TV (including the clip from "America's Got Talent" Final) then you are in for a treat as Emilio will be portraying the Early Sun Years & and the early 60's "Welcome Home Elvis" era.
Louis Brown is one of the latest phenomenon's in the Elvis world currently, since starting to perform the king's music in 2021. After major success early on in his career, we are thrilled to have Louis performing Elvis' late 50's hits, and also a "68 Comeback Special" set!
JD King, originally hailing from Brighton (UK), has spent many years as an Elvis Tribute Artist. There are many fans and reviewers who consider him to be one of the very best worldwide. We are extremely lucky to have JD with us on this show, and doing a special performance of the "Aloha From Hawaii" show, as well as a second set of some of Elvis' biggest hits of the 1970's, from the likes of "The Wonder Of You", "Burning Love", "Moody Blue" and many more!
The Creoles will be the house band for this event. They formed in 2019 as the backing band for Emilio Santoro. The band specialise in the 1950's and 60's Presley sounds, especially the earlier "Sun" period in the styles of Scotty Moore, Bill Black, DJ Fontana and Floyd Cramer thanks to a heavy Rockabilly influence and background, and are the only band recreating this sound authentically. In 2022 the band started to be asked to back more and more Elvis shows and have shown their ability to branch out to perform all of the different periods of the King's music including the 1970's Vegas era catalogue. They are now becoming one of the "go-to" backing bands for related shows.
This event is taking place in a stunning venue in a Midlands location which is easily accessible by Road or Public Transport. The (Rolls Royce Pavillion) Derby Leisure & Events Center has hosted many artists over the years, and has been a renowned venue for Rock n Roll, Northern Soul and many other first class Sub-Culture style events for many years.
During the breaks between the live music, expect to hear Elvis Records, and also original version of the king's tracks (for example Something by The Beatles, You Don't Have To Say You Love Me by Dusty Springfield, Mystery Train by Little Junior Parker and Polk Salad Annie by Tony Joe White) plus a little bit of Rock n Roll and Soul & Motown from the 50s 60s and 70s thrown in for good measure!
