This year's Elvis Tribute will celebrate the SEVENTIETH anniversary of the events in July 1954 that turned a shy boy into the King - his first recording with Scotty Moore and Bill Black on July 5, 1954, that produced "That's All Right" (and 2 days later, "Blue Moon of Kentucky"), released together as a single on July 19; and the breakthrough performance a few weeks later on July 30 at the Overton Park Shell in Memphis, when he drove the crowd wild with a few shakes and twitches - some call this the first rock and roll concert.
The event will be a benefit for Blue Bear School of Music, and will be led by Hank Maninger and Nashville Honeymoon, including Lynne Maes, Joe Kyle Jr., Leor Beary, and augmented by guest Marc Capelle on keyboards. This year's lineup of amazing guest performers is: the HowellDevine blues band (Joshua Howell, Pete Devine, and the aforementioned Joe Kyle Jr.), versatile soulful rocking vocalist Lydia Walker, former punk rocker turned honky-tonker Johnny Dilks, world famous drag king Leigh Crow as Elvis Herselvis, and rock journalist Ben Fong-Torres.
