Presely began his music career in 1954 at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, and as the saying goes the rest is history! Presley is one of the best-selling music artists in history, having sold an estimated 500 million records worldwide. He was commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, rock and roll, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, adult contemporary, and gospel. Presley won three Grammy Awards, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been posthumously inducted into multiple music halls of fame. He holds several records, including the most Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified gold and platinum albums (146.5 Million), the most albums charted on the Billboard 200 (129 of them), Top Ten Hits (38) , and Number One Hits (17). In 2018, Presley was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Now’s your chance to see the “KING” live in concert with the National Touring Show – Viva Las Elvis featuring Dan Fontaine! Dan is a National Award Winning Tribute Artist, recreating the look, sound, and feel of Elvis like no other. Experience one of the most authentic and undeniably realistic Elvis concerts as would have been seen Live in full “pomp and stance”. This bonified concert features the Memphis Sun Mafia band and full-cast in support on stage bringing the show to life. Relive some of Elvis’s greatest hits in this amazing show.
