ROCKIN’ WITH ELVIS AT THE “POINTE” IN NEW JERSEY

by eddie on Dec.16, 2009, under E

100_0350Sunday, November 8th was this Elvis Tribute Artist’s return to The Pointe, 2 Chapel Avenue, Port Liberte’, Jersey City. My posse of fans from the firm of Ernst & Young were in attendance. We held the start of the show for my “fan club” from San Antonio, TX. Their limo got lost enroute from their hotel near the airport, but it was well worth the wait for such a party group.

Assisted by my New Jersey backup crew, DJ Express, I kicked off the show to the strains of “See See Rider” followed by that great Elvis classic “Burnin’ Love.” Next came “Something”, first recorded by The Beatles, “Blue Suede Shoes” written by rockabilly artist Carl Perkins. Further into the program the James Taylor hit “Steamroller Blues” and the Frank Sinatra standby “My Way” done Elvis-style. Well into the concert a bolero rendition of “What Now My Love” and, the ever popular, “Suspicious Minds.” I closed the night with another Elvis classic “Big Hunka Love.” Finally, lots of photos with lots of folks.,

Another stop at The Pointe on December 6th for an Elvis Christmas Brunch. I’ll return to the Hudson County area with my Elvis Winter Wonderland 2010…Sunday, February 28th  at “The Pointe.” In addition, lots of private gigs will keep me as busy as Santa’s Elves at this time of the year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

Random Elvis Trivia
“We do two shows a night for five weeks. A lotta times we’ll go upstairs and sing until daylight - gospel songs. We grew up with it...It more or less puts your mind at ease. It does mine.”-Talking about the informal jam sessions he and the band and entourage enjoy each night during the lengthy Vegas engagements. These happen upstairs in Elvis’ suite at the Las Vegas Hilton as they all try to “wind down” from the excitement and energy of the live shows. Quote is from a 1972 taped interview used in MGM’s documentary”
