Finding An Elvis Tribute San Francisco

By Carolyn Young


When putting on a show a lot of people will decide to book a tribute singer and impersonator. A very popular choice for this kind of entertainment is an Elvis tribute San Francisco. A great many of these Presley performers can be hired with different styles and types of show.

Different kinds of Elvis tribute acts are offered in San Francisco, CA and it is important to select the correct one for the event. Nearly all of the performers will sound like the king of rock and roll and will have spent many years polishing their skills. Other artists will also look like Presley but it should be noted that a look alike who can also sing will be more expensive to book.

When deciding on an artist it is worth doing some homework to ensure the act meets the needs of the client. The majority of tributes will be happy to tailor their show to specific needs such as favorite songs and even costumes. The price charged by singers will vary greatly according to how long the show is and what equipment is required to stage the performance.

Fees for an Elvis tribute act will normally start at about 500 dollars if only a couple of numbers are required. If the show is to be a full length one with professional musicians and other backing vocalists then thousand will be charged. The performers that travel with a full band and crew will also more often than not provide all their own amps, speakers and lighting and this is reflected in the prices charged.

As a rule the best way to book a performer for a gig is to use the services of a well established entertainment company or agent. Most of these professional agents will be in a position to offer a choice of acts to suit the needs of different clients. There are also other benefits of using these companies as they will ensure that all insurances and permissions are in place prior to show time.

Internet companies can also be used to book a singer to perform at an event but there a couple of things to check if using this method. It is always a good idea to contact the artist direct and discuss the show with them and ask for their advice. Due to the fact that the king frequently changed his on stage look and as his career progressed altered his singing style many options are on offer.

After selecting the chosen performing artist clients should do a little research on past shows that the singer has performed. Show business agents and internet booking sites will be more than happy to share information and feedback for their stable of artists. Also if any videos or audio is available it is well worth watching these and having a listen to help with the final choice of which act to book.

One of the most important things to consider with an Elvis Presley tribute singer is availability. Most of these performers will travel around a lot and be very much in demand at certain times and they should be booked well in advance to secure their services. When deciding on where to stage the gig it is very important to speak with the management at the venue to ensure that all necessary equipment and performance licenses are available and in order.
