Brad Boice started his Elvis Tribute in 2005 almost
by mistake. He was attending a Musical Impersonator Show with his
wife JulAnn and friends. After watching the two "Elvis"
Impersonators perform that night, one of his friends said "Brad, you
can sing Elvis better than that!!", and left to talk to the band.
Within moments, Brad was on stage singing "Can't Help Falling in
Love". Since that night, he has entertained thousands of people in
many different venues around the Tri-states.
Brad placed 2nd in his first contest. In 2006, with only two
contests under his rhinestone belt, Brad placed 2nd out of 30
contestants in the "Elvis Extravaganza" held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
He has placed 1st four times, including being crowned Grand Champion
at the 2008 Mall of America's "Contest of Kings". Brad was the 2006
and 2007 Grand Champion at the LCO Casino in Hayward, WI Elvis
Contest. In 2007, Brad received the coveted "Spirit of Elvis" Award
and placed 2nd out of 30 contestants in 2008 at the nationally
recognized "Elvis Explosion" held in LaCrosse, WI.
In January 2009, Brad was the featured performer on the Royal
Caribbean Cruise Ship "Independence of the Seas" for the annual
Elvis Birthday Bash. He also performed two shows, to standing room
only crowds, at the Hard Rock Cafe` in Cozumel, Mexico. Brad has
just been asked to return to the Cruise ship in January, 2010 to
perform for the 75th Anniversary of Elvis' Birthday Bash!!
Brad also donates his time and talent to help raise funds for
non-profit organizations. Some of the charities he has worked with
include: Channel One Food Shelves, Camp Jornada, Camp Winnebago,
Eagles Cancer Telethon and Young Life.
Brad, like Elvis, cares about people. He always has time for his
fans at all of his performances. He will greet each and everyone,
sign autographs, and pose for pictures.
