Now backing Mike Shelby with his 'Memories of Elvis - Live in Concert show' - A fabulous show dedicated to fans of the one and only Elvis Presley!
There are many Elvis tributes all over the world but most however only use pre-recorded backing tracks - but with Mike Shelby, Rhythm Express & The Divine Inspirations everything is played and sung totally live - the band takes great pride in this fact and strive to re-create in detail the sound & arrangements of the original songs, covering all 3 decades and styles of Elvis' music. The show features some of the major songs that the fans like to hear (of course!) - but also includes a refreshing change by performing some album and concert material that is not usually performed by alternative tributes.
This really is a totally respectful and authentic tribute to Elvis Presley, with superb costumes, quality sound & lighting - performing well over 40 songs during a fast moving 2 hour show!
Suitable for all age groups and aimed at lovers of live music - played the way it should be played -100% live!
