Attending An Elvis Tribute San Francisco

By Cornelia White


There can be greater experience than treating yourself to an Elvis tribute San Francisco. He has been called the greatest performer of our time and although he died nearly forty years ago still has a fan base that many entertainers can only dream of. The city by the bay is the perfect place to find an event that honors him and his legacy.

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.

He started making movies shortly after his singing career began and two years later entered the military. When he returned from the Army he returned to movies and making sound tracks for them. After nearly seven years away he began doing personal appearances again on the live stage. Unfortunately, he died while on one of these tours in 1977. Three days after his passing the studio released a new song that became an instant hit.

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.

There have been several conferences in the city dedicated to the King and attended by thousands of people dressed like him. They may hold impromptu performances on the streets and in hotels where they are staying. These parties have a convention like atmosphere and everyone is encouraged to attend and join the fun. Although these are not necessarily formally held in honor of the King they do pay homage to his memory.

In a sellout event the Giants base ball team put on a game dedicated to the king and his fans. They had several impersonators to entertain fans before and during the game. They also handed out door prizes to the first twenty thousand people through the gate. There were contests throughout the game for costuming and singing.

This Giant's game proved to be a great success and is the most current Elvis tribute San Francisco. Everyone was a winner on that September 2013 night. The Giants won the game, the fans were wowed by the entertainment, gifts and prizes and the Elvis Presley Charitable Foundation received thousands of well deserved dollars.
