Elvis Presley Program recommendations?
by Elizabeth Campion 10 Aug '17

10 Aug '17

This summer the Shelby Township Library presented the Beatles Forever program with M.L. Liebler and a band that performed covers of Beatles songs. One of our patrons loved the program and asked if I could do an Elvis Presley program of some kind in the future. I am looking for recommendations for an Elvis impersonator or someone who could knowledgeably present a program on Elvis. Any suggestions? Thanks so much in advance!
