I’m honored to be known as “Bayonne, New Jersey’s Musical Ambassador of Goodwill”

My tours have taken me to many interesting parts of the country, but I’ve always considered New Jersey my home base. Some of the Jersey locations I’ve played include: The Blue Piano, Robin’s Inn and The Pointe in Jersey City…The Chandelier, Cafe Bello, De Noi, Rincon, The Coffee Garden, Amici’s, Sarelli’s and, of course, my Town Center Elvis Summer Festival in Bayonne…The Wilsey Pub, Ridgewood…Wagon Wheel, Bergenfield…The 288 Club, North Arlington…Beef & Bottle and Lamb’s, Livingston…The Valley Regency, Clifton…Huddle Inn, Fairfield…San Carlo, Lyndhurst…Friar Tuck Inn, Montclair…The Casablanca,Garfield…Teddy’s, Kearny and so many more. Sadly, some of the venues no longer exist, but the memories of good times and fantastic audiences linger on!

Random Elvis Trivia
“I’ve never gotten over what they call stagefright. I go through it every show. I’m pretty concerned, I’m pretty much thinking about the show. I never get completely comfortable with it, and I don’t let the people around me get comfortable with it, in that I remind them that it’s a new crowd out there, it’s a new audience, and they haven’t seen us before. So it’s got to be like the first time we go on.”-From a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary”
