Elvis' music has been a part of my life ever since I was young and listening to my older brother's albums. I've been performing Tribute to Elvis for the past 12 years and competing for the last 5. I have been blessed to have met so many very talented Tribute Artists and so many wonderful fans who appreciate the sound and looks of Elvis and have been touched deeply by his performances, contributions and memories on and off the stage. I thank God for giving me a voice to sing some of his songs and thank my wife and family for their undying support and thank our fans for their love and support and giving us the opportunity to keep Elvis' memory alive. And, of course, I appreciate those who host and produce these competitions in order to promote the memories and help us to grow and become better Elvis Tribute Artists.

Jared is in his third year as a semi professional ETA and is still just 19 years old. This will be his second visit to Lake George from the UK and after such a warm welcome last year, he is looking forward to competing once again. Although he enjoys performing the full career, he is choosing once again to perform in the 50's category and hopes to give a respectful performance of Elvis' early years. Jared was placed runner up in this category last year and was winner of the Gold Lame Award in 2010, presented by Charles Stone here in the UK.

Dave has been a tribute artist for close to five years, playing in both the United States and Canada. His earliest recollections were of Spinout, the Singer Special, and the Aloha from Hawaii concert. Although he sings the classics such as Don't Be Cruel and Peace in the Valley, he also appreciates the rarities such as City by Night, and Is it So Strange. In keeping with the spirit of Elvis, Dave has played at a number of goodwill events, as well as several festivals and parties. Dave is looking forward to returning to Lake George.

Harry Pratt Is Elvis
Holden, Me

Harry first became interested in Elvis at the age of 8, since his mother so idolized the King. By the time he was 10 his family was amazed how well he could sing songs such as Jailhouse Rock and Heartbreak Hotel. He has always loved Elvis music and listened to it almost exclusively while driving all over the US in his 18 wheeler. Everyone has always said that he had a strong resemblance to Elvis. Until recently he kept his talent hidden so that he could surprise his parents on their 50th anniversary with a tribute show. His mother has been totally overwhelmed and overcome with emotion to find out that her own son sounds so much like her favorite star. Since his folks anniversary, Harry has decided to finally make music a priority in his life, and is currently working with a production team creating an Elvis Tribute show that will tour New England and eventually all over the US. Few artists have been able to perform every Elvis song in the original key, with the original dynamics as Harry has been able to do. There have been many that just won't believe that it is Harry that they are hearing on the Demo CD's that we have made. You must see him in person to believe it!

While Wayne loves being an ETA and performing anytime he's given the opportunity, nothing gets him more jacked' than the weekend of the Lake George, ElvisFest. The fans of Lake George are second to none. Last year was a great year for Wayne. He was fortunate enough to perform at several venues in the New England area while keeping the memory of Elvis Aaron Presley alive and well. As a matter of fact, Wayne enjoys being an ETA so much you might even see him playing his guitar, giving out scarves and taking requests on a Lake George street corner this June!
