EDDIE O’ROURKE AT THE POINTE-A TRIBUTE TO THE KING-8/29/10

by on Sep.02, 2010, under E

The Pointe is an exquisite restaurant and nite-spot on the Hudson River, just across from “The Big Apple.” It’s situated in a trendy complex known as Port Liberte’, Jersey City and boasts a spectacular view of the Manhattan skyline and the Statue of Liberty. The Pointe is directly across the river from the New York financial area and allows patrons a wonderful view of the new construction going up at the World Trade site. I bring my Elvis Tribute show there several times a year and even hang out there when I’m not performing.

On August 29th my performance at The Pointe was in honor of the 75th anniversary of Elvis’ birth. His name is recognized worldwide and legions of fans are still drawn to his music 33 years after his passing.  As an Elvis Tribute Artist it is my good fortune to be permitted to bring his music and style of performing to many of those fans young and old. This night was no exception as members of the audience sang along with many of the familiar tunes. After the concert I made my way around the room and chatted and posed for photos with many of the guests. I’m always touched that folks make so much of my post performance attention. The King always went the extra distance for the fans and, as a representative of the  Elvis-style, I’m more than happy to continue the tradition.
