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 different types of Elvis tributes available and there are some important things to think about when you are choosing one. Many singers will actually sound very much like the man himself after many years in the business. Another option is to book a look and sound alike and these are more expensive to hire.

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.

It is also important to think about the type of Elvis you want and which era of music you want the singer to perform. Throughout his career Presley changed the type of music that he performed as well as his on stage appearance. You are able to book an act ranging from the 1950's rock and roll singer to the 1970's crooner in a jeweled jump suit.

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 places where you can find the contact details for a performer and an entertainment agency is a good place to begin. An agent will be able to provide a suitable act that is tailored to your specific requirements and they are able to handle all aspects of the show. The other advantage of using a professional agent is that all insurances and performing licenses will be in place.

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.

A large number of Presley tributes are in high demand and when you want to hire one you should do so as early as possible. A large number of performers will travel the world to perform and enter competitions and they may be fully booked for months. It is also very important when you are deciding where to hold your event that you check to see if you need to hire equipment and pay for permits.
