EDDIE MILES, Wink Theatre. Georgia. Recent Show.

This picture is of Eddie Miles and me after his show at the Wink Theatre. It was a great concert. Eddie sang many Elvis tunes, including “Promised Land” which is my favourite out of the ones he does at his concerts. I also like Eddie’s “front show” where he sings country tunes by Conway Twitty, George Jones, Hank Williams..and many more. Eddie Miles Fan....Patrick Battersby, Ringold, Georgia.

EDDIE MILES, Alabama Theatre, North Myrtle Beach, SC..recent show.

I see Eddie's show every month that he is in North Myrtle Beach, SC at the Alabama Theatre. I am never disappointed. His “Elvis” is second to none, but his own talent also shines through. He is very grounded in who he is. He takes time for his fans and has never turned down a request for a photo or autograph. I have seen some changes through the years that I’ve been seeing Eddie’s show, but always for the better...he has my love and support always....TCB Pamela Miller, South Carolina.

DWIGHT ICENHOWER. Ohio. Recent Shows.

Wow!!! What an exciting performer. I have been an Elvis fan since I was 6 years old and I have seen many ETA's in concert. Some have the moves but not the voice and some have the voice and not the moves! Dwight Icenhower has it all!!! He does an incredible tribute to the young Elvis right out of Memphis in 1956 (Dwight is only 23 years old himself). Then he turns on his polished charisma and does "movie Elvis" years. He sings to all the girls and kisses the babies and wins everyone's heart in the audience. He is just captivating! He has the fans eating out of his hands right from the get-go! He has the look that Elvis had....that he is singing to you and he just melts your heart. Then he comes out in the jumpsuit and Dwight has the walk. The walk that only the "King of Rock and Roll" had! But the most important thing about Dwight Icenhower is the VOICE! He sounds so much like Elvis that, not a single show goes by that someone doesn’t come up to him and ask him if he is lipsynching!. The first time I saw him I watched him so closely because he sounded exactly like Elvis Presley! Not until he had some audio problems (his CD started skipping), and he did the rest of the song acapella, did I believe he was really singing the songs. He is just that good!!!! I have seen Dwight perform many shows since 2001 when I first went to a show in Southeast Ohio, and at every show he just blows the audience away. He is venturing out into the bigger venues as one of the elite "Elvis Entertainers" in the industry and I hope you get the chance to see him soon because you just have to see and hear for yourself to fully understand how good he really is. The best thing about going to a Dwight Icenhower concert, though, is to see him with his fans! He always has time for every fan who wants an autograph, picture, Cd, T-shirt, etc. that needs his signature. He stays until the last fan says goodnight. That was also the best thing about Elvis, no matter how big a star Elvis was, he always had time for his fans! The reason we go out and see the ETA's so much is because we miss Elvis so. Dwight Icenhower makes you feel that Presley magic!!! Lisa Queen, Ohio

CHRIS PRESLEY Fort Erie Showcase, June 2004

My girlfriends and I went to an ETA Showcase in Fort Erie, Ontario on June 5. There were 3 ETA’s..one for each era....but the one that really caught my eye and the eyes of a lot of the others in the crowd was this young man named Chris. He had the purest blue eyes, the most gorgeous smile, and the sexiest hair...and that was just in the parking lot! Everyone was talking about this guy’s haunting resemblance to the young Elvis. When the show started, he was the first on stage. He was wearing the outfit Elvis wore on the Ed Sullivan show. The music started and he began with “Don’t Be Cruel.” The leg started shaking, the hips started swivelling! He had the voice, the moves, the look. Everybody was taken aback. He went through all the early classics...”Blue Suede Shoes,” “All Shook Up,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and a bunch of others. He came out with some teddy bears while singing “Teddy Bear” and the women, myself included, rushed to the stage to get one. Talk about being caught up in the moment! I’ve followed all of the ETA’s but never heard of him before. He really took you back to l956! I didn’t get a chance to talk to him after the show..he was mobbed by the younger girls...but I did get his website. It is www.followthatdreamproductions.com. If you get a chance to check this guy out, it’s worth it! Betty Dorchester, Ontario.

TIM E & THE YES MEN, London, Ontario. June 2004
Tim E and The Yes Men put on an entertaining show recently in the Carousel Room at the Western Fairgrounds in London, Ontario. The audience of about 500 people was treated to dinner and a 90-minute “casino set” featuring ‘70's era songs. It wasn’t long before Tim E, impeccably dressed in a white jumpsuit, had the crowd cheering, dancing on the sidelines and scrambling for scarves. I was impressed with the excellent mix of songs that Tim E presented..ranging from the standards to some of the lesser-known 70's songs that you don’t hear at every Elvis event. I was also impressed at how Tim came out into the dining room area before the show, tastefully dressed in a red silk shirt and black pants, and greeted friends and fans. He also stayed after the show to talk to fans and to pose for photos. I enjoyed this evening’s good “Elvis entertainment” in my home town...the songs were sung well, Tim E paid a sincere and tasteful tribute to Elvis, and he and his band showed that they can definitely entertain a large crowd. If you are going to Collingwood in July, Tim will be performing at Don Cherry’s..so you can catch him there.

RON MOORE, Whitby Courthouse Theatre. Whitby, Ontario. June 2004.

It's not too often that an ETA comes to beautiful downtown Whitby, but last night Ron Moore did perform at the Whitby Courthouse Theatre to a small, but enthusiastic crowd. His show is entitled "Songs in the Key of Elvis". What a voice! I can't believe that Ron just started doing this tribute in the last year. The golden oldie tunes were excellent, especially "Don't" and "My Wish Came True" which is a beautiful song that we don't hear that often. The next set was songs from the movies, and again great selection of songs, and very well done. Lastly, Ron appeared in an impeccable off-white suit, and sang great gospel tunes which I believe came straight from his heart. His encore of "Memories” and “Rubberneckin" brought the audience to their feet. Great Job! My compliments go out to his wife, Lois who produced the show, his tailor who outfitted him in the beautiful gold & white jackets, and his beautiful announcer "Marilyn" who really added a nice touch to the show. We look forward to seeing you in Collingwood. Marlene Hall, Whitby, Ontario.

RYAN PELTON, Muncy, Pennsylvania. Recent show.
Ryan Pelton, what can I say, second only to one. If you haven’t seen Ryan’s performance there are no words that could possibly do him justice. If you have seen him I’m sure you’’ve seen him more than once. If you are an Elvis fan you will have been drawn back to see him again. Ryan’s act has been perfected to a tee. He gets better every time I see him. The resemblance is, of course, striking. Ryan took us through every era, sliding across the stage in gold lame, shoulders legs and hips in perfect sync ‘50's Elvis style ,to songs such as Don’t Be Cruel, twisting and marching a la Elvis to Return to Sender and the ever popular GI Blues.. and there was audience participation in Frankfurt Special and Viva Las Vegas. Did I mention ‘60's.. oh yeah the black leather, what a perfect combination--Ryan Pelton & black leather. You will never see anyone perform A Little Less Conversation that could match his. The ’70's is always my favorite and this was the first time I saw him perform a full ‘70's set, again flawless. There were so many favorites-- My Way, I’ll Remember You and, of course, Fever. My personal favorite was Promised Land. There were teddy bears and scarves galore. A perfect evening, almost like going through 3 decades in a time machine. Ryan is always so personable with his fans after the show. A special thank you to the Keystone Hook & Ladder Fire Dept. in Muncy PA, for whom Ryan was performing the benefit, for making their neighbors from the north so welcome. Ryan Pelton has a presence, charm and charisma that go even beyond the Elvis phenomenon, so ladies I suggest you see him when you can. I predict he’s going to be a big star some day in his own right as Ryan Pelton

TIM DUDLEY “Elvis Fantasy Fest Contest” Indianapolis, Indiana. June 2004.

We went to the 3rd annual "Elvis Fantasy Fest" in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 26 -27. Our sweet great friend, Tim Dudley, was in the contest. And wow! .Awesome he was indeed! Tim did a super job with the Exspence Account Show Band at The Madame Walker Theatre. Tim’s performance was so great you could not tell it was his first time with a live band. Way to go, Tim! Tim was very polite to everyone. We were thrilled to see Tim come all the way from his home town of Lafayette, Louisiana on a Greyhound bus for a few of his fans and friends. Tim truly has a dedication for the “King” (Elvis) to travel like he did. If you can, go to see Tim perform. It will be well worth it. Woo Hoo! Thanks Tim..we love you and are looking forward to seeing you again in Portage, Indiana in October 2004! Huggssss! TCB, Treva Baldwin, Columbus, Ohio and Sharon Collins, Upland, Indiana.

ARIK CHRISTOPHER. Elvis in Dixieland. Birmingham, Alabama. June 2004.

Those of you that have never had the fortune to see Arik perform will be in for a real treat! Not only does he look like Elvis but he also sings all the 50's songs as Elvis did. He placed in the top five at the show in Birmingham and, as the audience could have told you, he was absolutely stunning! He is an ETA who does the 50's Elvis and only the King does it better. He had the audience on their feet during his performance and it was almost like looking at young Elvis. He did some things in his act that only the King had done before and it was thrilling. If ever an ETA paid tribute to Elvis, it was Arik. I wish nothing but the best for him in the coming years and am very proud to call myself a fan of his. I will go just about anywhere to watch him. Not only is he a great performer, but he is an all round great person who loves his fans and doesn't hesitate to show them. So if you are in Memphis or are lucky enough to see him perform, you will feel the same way that his Georgia fans and all the Arik angels feel. Good luck to 'our' Elvis, aka Arik Christopher . Your greatest fan, Linda, Newnan, Georgia.

ARIK CHRISTOPHER, ELVIS IN DIXIELAND, Birmingham, Alabama, June 2004
I went to the contest not only to see my good friends from around the U.S. but to see Arik perform. It had been nearly a year since Id seen him. People told me I was in for a shock and boy were they right. When Arik came out in the "King Creole" outfit, my jaw dropped! He looked AWESOME to say the least. I remembered the last time I saw him perform and he shook from
nerves, well this time he shook from places I forgot about! His performance was right on the money! He did an excellent job!! He was competing against some pretty big names, such as Todd Martin, Jason Sikes, Matt Joyce, to name a few. But when the finalists were called, Arik was up among the best of the best, as I thought he should be. He come out in the finals in a
black tux and did the "Frank Sinatra Show" that Elvis did so many years ago and again blew the house away!! Arik didn't win the contest but he did win a lot of hearts!!!! Way to go Arik, from your Alabama Angel.

TERRY PRICE. Bryan Civic Center. Recent shows.

Terry Price is the Klone of Rock and Roll. My mom and I have been following him for about two years now. He puts on a dynamic, awesome show complete with scarves, jumpsuits, and ,of course, that swivel. Many people at his shows ask him if he lip syncs. No, he doesn't but he sounds so much like Elvis that if you closed your eyes you would swear it was the King himself. I personally don't know why anyone would want to close their eyes though. Terry is the total package and such a nice person. He signs scarves, takes pictures with fans, and connects with each one. He is especially good at encouraging the young people to follow their dreams as he has. If you haven't seen Terry, you are missing a great show. His web site is theKlone.com. Drop in and listen to "Rubberneckin'". . He also has a fan club (theklonefanclub@yahoo.com) and a Yahoo Launch group (TerryPricetheKloneofRockandRoll@yahoogroups.com). Good luck, Terry! We love you! Donna and Grandma Beaumont

JOHN LOOS, Riverfest Elvis and Country Event. Brockville, Ontario. July 2004

I have just recently seen John in Brockville during their Riverfest Elvis and Country Event. John was the headliner on July first and did an amazing job with his band. The crowd was the best that I have seen in quite a few years. John rocked the stage so much that he even made the headline in the local news paper. The article started that they made close to $20 000 for that day. Take into consideration that each person only paid $4 to get in. I have seen John in the past and he is getting better and better every time I see him. I bought one of his new CD's and I play in over and over again. I may need to purchase a new one for I think I may have worn this one out. John's voice was electrifying and his stage presence was incredible. He has the sex appeal that makes you think that he is only singing to you which is a talent that Elvis Presley himself had. John does a fantastic job keeping Elvis' memory alive and for that I want to thank him. You should check out his website too. It is so cool. www.johnloos.4mg.com. He even has some of his new CD’s on there. Laura S.

TIM E AND THE YES MEN. Collingwood Festival, July 2004.

On July 24th, my wife and I drove from Mississauga to check out some of the Elvis's at the Collingwood Elvis Fest and we absolutely hit the jackpot at Don Cherry's, with Tim E & The Yes Men. For only $5.00 each (unbelievably), we saw a Las Vegas show. Man, was this guy good! Watching him during Blue Suede Shoes, while dancing on the dirt dance floor, I thought I was seeing and hearing Elvis. His moves, his expressions, his look and his remarkably Elvis-like voice almost hypnotized me back to the 1960s, as a little boy listening to my brother's Elvis records. And the band was excellent ! A vibrant horn section (3), a solid lead guitarist that knew all the Elvis licks, two backup guitar/vocalists, an attractive female vocalist, an awesome bass player and a real hot & rock solid drummer. The sound was full, the levels were good, you could hear everything perfectly. You've just got to check Tim E and the Yes Men out ! Their repertoire is terrific ! They do many songs that most ETAs do not do. We ETA fans just don't get enough of that. Thank you, Tim E & Your Yes Men & One Woman! For providing us with a fabulous Las Vegas style evening of entertainment on a Saturday night in Collingwood, Ontario. I recommend to everyone to check out Tim E at the Ontario Place Pavilion on Saturday, August 21st. I guarantee that you'll agree that Tim is one of the cream of the crop.

JEFF KRICK, Trevose, Pennsylvania. July 2004

On July 24th I went to see Jeff Krick in concert in Trevose, PA. I've seen and heard many ETAs and Jeff is certainly one of the best! When he comes over to sing to you, he has such a tender way about him, he makes you feel really special..... but what is truly amazing is how much he sounds like Elvis! When he sang "Hurt" he sang it like nobody else I've ever heard, except for Elvis, of course. He puts his whole heart and soul into it. The audience went wild and he received a standing ovation (along with a few others which were all well deserved). He puts all his energy into his singing and shakes that fringe around too! He gives lots of scarves out to the ladies and makes his way through the audience saying hello and shaking hands with everyone. After the show he takes time to talk with the fans, sign autographs, take pictures, etc. Check out his website at Jeff Krick and the TCB II Review . Jeff does a lot of traveling performing his shows and if he is ever in your area, don't miss him! It will certainly be worthwhile! I'm looking forward to his next show. TCB, Jeanne W. (Philadelphia, PA)

SHAWN KLUSH, Pittston, Pennsylvania, August 2004
On August 1, I went to Shawn's show at Pittston. Two friends from Allentown drove with me 100 miles one way to Pittston. There was a 60% chance of rain for the area. The sun was shining and it was very humid when we arrived. As we sat waiting for the show to start, it thundered and POURED, but NO ONE left their seats! Shawn returns two times a year to perform for his home town (he comes back again in January) and they have supported him since he was a very young boy. This year, it was very exciting to see Mayor of Pittston read a Proclamation from Senators of PENNSYLVANIA, which he gave to Shawn for his talent in music and entertaining locally and around the world. Shawn started the show wearing a powder blue jumpsuit with cape and his second set was in the black leather (woo hoo!). He sang songs such as "That's All Right Mama," "My Way," "It's Now or Never," "If I Can Dream," "One Night With You," and more. I have a few pictures of him "Singing in the Rain," too with all the umbrellas, with the Mayor, and receiving gifts from fans! Hope to see you again real soon, Shawn. It's
always well worth the long drive to see your shows!! Cathy Hall, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
