The Illusion of Elvis
Elvis Presley's voice, soul and presence would always cut through
the deepest of scratched RCA records. This is what Danny Vernon
found at a very early age when he began singing along with his
Father's discarded albums unaware of Presley's vast impact in
American culture. With a devout passion, Danny would sing and dance
along with the King's music trusting that one day he would be
recapturing his own "Illusion of Elvis" show on stage.
Danny's professional experiences have included being a singing
server at a revolving restaurant, strumming guitar and singing
acoustic folk/rock tunes in lounges and nightclubs, and recording an
original country album in Nashville receiving national airplay. This
broad backdrop of skillful versatility helps give stability and
genuineness to his "Illusion of Elvis" show. He enjoys
performing all 3 decades of Elvis' career, including the "recklessly
abandoned" hillbilly cat 50's, the sleek 60's movie years including
the Comeback Special, and the sexy 70's jumpsuit years.
In his own words, "From the many years of admiration of Elvis, I've
sought to create a show that would hold the excitement of the King
on stage
throughout various stages in his career. I also try to show respect
and support the integrity of the man and his music." With the voice,
look, and passion of the twentieth century icon, Danny Vernon
strives to re-capture Elvis Presley's appeal to an ever-growing
audience.
