Doug Church began his Elvis career in the U.S. Air Force in 1983, winning the talent contests held annually by the Air Force, competing against hundreds of other contestants, starting at the base level and proceeding through to the regional levels, ultimately winning out over the best entertainers from many other bases in the European and US Air Force Commands. He collected 11 first place trophies (not merely for impersonating Elvis, but many other categories such as "male vocalist", "potpourri musical" and even "comedy") after only four and a half years of competitions. |
After leaving the Air Force, Doug began performing locally in clubs in and around the Midwest. In 1990, he competed in the 4th annual Worldwide Elvis Impersonator Contest in Memphis, Tennessee, taking 2nd place his first time out, competing against Elvis impersonators from all over the world. The following year he returned to Memphis to capture the 1st place crown as the "World's Best" for a year. In 1993, after a successful audition with Legends In Concert ( a musical impersonator revue, based at the Imperial Palace hotel and casino in Las Vegas Nevada, featuring such acts as Marilyn Monroe and the Blues brothers and, of course, the King), he started touring the country and subsequently, the world, performing in such exotic locations as Bangkok, Hong Kong, Aruba, the Bahamas, and even Moscow. |
