Ernie's love for "Elvis" started as a young child as
he spent countless Saturday afternoons at the movie theatre watching
Elvis' movies and then going home and performing for his Mom and
Dad. Later on in life, his career led him to become one of the
area's most popular Disc Jockey's working at some of Hampton Road's
largest nightclubs. His ability
to combine music, dance routines, and transforming himself to look
like Elvis, Frank Sinatra, and so many other artist ,increased his
popularity which let him into becoming an "Elvis Tribute Artist"!
Over the last few years Ernie has performed for Mayors, City
Councilmen, corporations, private parties, non-profits, and
businesses. He produces and appears in his own "Tribute to Elvis" in
the Hampton Roads area! Quite often he is asked to "Emcee", as well
as perform for various organizations. His latest venture is being a
part of the "Close to Elvis" production with two other Elvis Tribute
Artists! They travel to various cities drawing large crowds as the
pay tribute to Elvis Presley and his music of the 50's, 60's and
70's!
Ernie believes it is calling to give back to his community and
volunteers his tribute to Elvis Presley for
organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, March of Dimes,
Prevention of Child Abuse, Suffolk Humane Society and so many more!
Elvis Presley was one of the greatest humanitarians to ever live,
and Ernie considers it a privilege to be able to pay tribute to this
legend!
