Days of Elvis Festival Niagara Falls

Elvis will be appearing in Niagara Falls!
Actually there will be several of them as the 2008 Days of Elvis Festival gets underway on Queen St. Niagara Falls.
For Elvis fans this 3 day event shouldn’t be missed.

Today, Friday September 5th, the event kicks off at 1:00pm with the first annual Elvis Film Festival. Elvis’s drummer, D.J. Fontana will be on hand for a meet and greet, as will the world famous gospel group, the Stamps Quartet who also performed with Elvis.

Then tonight at 8:00pm the Elvis Extravganza Concert will begin featuring performances from many award winning tribute artists;
Shon Carroll, Selvis, and Douglas Roy to name a few. The finale will feature Anthony Von with the Stamps Quartet.

Douglas Roy is one of our own here in Niagara and one of the most respected Elvis tribute artists in the business. He’s also the only tribute artist ever to have actually performed on stage with the King himself. The story goes that Doug was at an Elvis concert in 1976 when a friend tossed Doug’s latest single recording onto the stage at Elvis’s feet. Elvis picked up the record, read the label, and called Doug up to sing Hound Dog with him.

Douglas Roy’s tribute show, “Douglas” was all the rage in the mid ’70’s, in the days when the real King of Rock ‘n Roll was still alive. More than thirty years later, Douglas Roy is still one of the best tribute artists in the business. Certainly worth seeing his show at the Days of Elvis Festival.
