By Carolyn Young


When putting on a show a lot of people will decide to book a tribute singer and impersonator. A very popular choice for this kind of entertainment is an Elvis tribute San Francisco. A great many of these Presley performers can be hired with different styles and types of show.

The types of Presley tributes available in San Francisco, CA vary greatly and there are some things to be considered when making the choice. Most of these singers will actually sound very much like Elvis after many years in the business honing their skills. Another option is to book a look and sound alike and these can be considerably more expensive than others.

When deciding on an artist it is worth doing some homework to ensure the act meets the needs of the client. The majority of tributes will be happy to tailor their show to specific needs such as favorite songs and even costumes. The price charged by singers will vary greatly according to how long the show is and what equipment is required to stage the performance.

Starting from around five hundred dollars a tribute act will turn up at the event with backing tracks in full costume to sing a couple of songs. If a full show is required with a live band and backing singers then the cost will be considerably more running into thousands. Many of these performers will also provide their own sound and light systems and crew to set everything up at the venue.

The best option when hiring an act is to go through a reputable show business agent to guarantee everything runs smoothly. Many of the agencies will be able to offer a range of acts to suit and also be able to provide everything needed for the gig. It is also worth booking through an experienced agency as all the necessary permits and paperwork will be taken care of.

Internet companies can also be used to book a singer to perform at an event but there a couple of things to check if using this method. It is always a good idea to contact the artist direct and discuss the show with them and ask for their advice. Due to the fact that the king frequently changed his on stage look and as his career progressed altered his singing style many options are on offer.

After selecting the chosen performing artist clients should do a little research on past shows that the singer has performed. Show business agents and internet booking sites will be more than happy to share information and feedback for their stable of artists. Also if any videos or audio is available it is well worth watching these and having a listen to help with the final choice of which act to book.

Many of the Elvis tributes are very much in demand and if a particular one is to be hired this should be done as early as possible as a lot can be fully booked for long periods. A large number of Presley impersonators will also be travelling to enter competitions and are unavailable at certain times. It is also important when deciding where to hold the event that all permits are obtained and that any other items needed are in place.
