Heritage Festival, Star, NC 2016

We're putting together a few new tunes for the upcoming "Tour de Elvis" event this year, Our backing vocalist, Starla Whitley will be singing a Patsy Cline tune that everybody knows, and we'll have a young female guest (who's going to be a force to be reckoned with as her singing career blossoms) come up and show Elvis how to sing "Hound Dog". It's going to be a hot night in the city so be sure and join us for both the 5K race and the King's hits!

Recognize this lady? Back in 2008, the year before the Elvis event was moved to City Lake Park, Mrs Joy Wallace graced our presence with her Flute on "Trilogy" (the South's anthem) at what would be our final performance at "Market Station" and brought the crowd to their feet! Joy became an official E'ssential on that wonderful Summer evening! BTW Joy, you are still on stand by status!
