Looking For An Elvis Tribute Artist For Your Event

By Diane Foster


If you plan to put on a special event and you want some entertainment for the invited guests there are a few available options. Some people will hire a live band or a DJ and a large number of people now hire tribute acts. When you are searching for an Elvis Tribute Artist for an event it is advisable to research all options before you make a booking.

There are a few different types of Elvis Presley tribute and you will need to think carefully about the performer that you want to hire. Many of the vocalists will sound like the king and will they have spent many years working on their live show. Other artists will also look like Presley and these are usually a little more expensive to hire than a sound alike.

Before you search for a performer you will need to decide what type of show you require. Most artists are able to customize their shows to your requirements ranging from a few numbers to a full length show for larger events. The costs involved will vary and depend on how many songs are performed and the type of show and equipment needed.

Another thing to consider with an Elvis tribute show is the era of music that you want at your event. Presley went through many style changes during his 20 year career and his style of music and dress changed dramatically. You are able to find a performer that impersonates all of the eras from the 50's rock and roll music to the ballads and jump suits of the 70's.

For around five hundred dollars you can hire a singer to turn up in full costume with backing music to perform. If a full show is to be staged with musicians playing live and backing singers then the price will rise considerably. Most singers are able to bring their own PA systems and lighting and also the engineers needed to work on the day of the show.

There are various ways to book a performer and one of the best ways is to use the services of an established entertainment agent. Most agents are able offer a selection of acts to suit your needs as well as all of the stage equipment that will be required. Other benefits of using agencies are that all insurances and permits will be arranged.

The internet is also a good place to find a performer and many artists advertise on the web. The web sites for the singers contain some useful information as well as video clips of performances, pictures and a description of the singer. If you select a singer that you have found online it is useful to call them before you book so that you can discuss your planned event.

If you have a specific artist in mind you should make your booking well in advance of your event as many artists may be committed for many months. Many artists will tour the world and they also enter competitions. Some care is also needed when you are booking the venue and you will need to check what sound equipment and permits are needed to put on the show.
