ROCKIN’ AND DINING ELVIS STYLE
by eddie on Mar.01, 2010, under E
My latest Elvis Tribute Concert at the Pointe in Port Liberte’ came on the heels of our most recent snow storm. It’s always “iffy” as to how much of an audience I’ll have during these winter events. Even with reservations it’s hard to predict just how many people will show.
Well, I was pleasantly surprised and thank all my regular fans for the attention and loyalty they so generously show me. I also gained some new fans this time around.What an enthusiastic crowd! All of my 2010 events are a kind of “Elvis Birthday Bash.” The 75th anniversary…UNREAL! I even broke with tradition and did two encore numbers…THE WONDER OF YOU and SUSPICIOUS MINDS. Folks simply love the latter song and associate it so much with Elvis at his best. It’s gotten to the point where I’m prepared to insert it, last minute, into any of my shows. Got to please the crowd…got to excite them!
My thanks to Pointe owner, John Nicaretta for hosting my Elvis Tribute Show and to his staff for making me feel so at home. If ever you’re in the North Jersey/Manhattan area, you have to mark this as a place to visit. The restaurant and night spot has unending windows that look out on the Hudson River, lower Manhattan skyline and The Statue of Liberty. They feature exquisite food, a choice wine list and they serve lunch dinner and Sunday brunch. Just a short ferry ride from Manhattan, The Pointe is located at 2 Chapel Avenue, Port Liberte’, Jersey City near Liberty State Park. You can reach them by phone at: 201 985 9854 or check out their website: thepointerestaurant.com.
In between gigs, you are often likely to find me dining at The Pointe. It has long been a favorite location for me and my family. Over the years, we’ve celebrated everyday get-togethers and special events at this wonderful place. That I get to entertain folks there, as an Elvis Tribute Artist, is just an added attraction to an already pleasant experience. BTW, my next concert there is scheduled for April 25th. If you do make it to The Pointe and happen to see me, please come over and say hi! You can’t miss me…I’ll be the one with the SIDEBURNS!!
