Elvis is in The House
Elvis! will be performing live at The Ritz Theatre on Thursday, July 29, 2010 at 7 p.m. William Stiles, a top ranking world champion Elvis Tribute Artist will be performing with his band members Doc Peters on lead guitar and vocals, Randy Nash on drums, Rodney Trent on keyboard and organ, and Joe Webber on bass guitar and vocals. Stiles is internationally known with over ten years experience as an Elvis impersonator. He has traveled extensively around the world performing in many venues both large and small. “Watching William perform is flat out spooky!!!” reports the Commercial Appeal, Memphis, TN.
Some of Elvis’s musicians that have performed with Stiles include The Sweet Inspirations, J.D. Sumner and The Stamps Quartet. He’s also been backed by The Blackwood Brothers who were friends as well as influential on Elvis. To date Stiles is a world champion holding two international titles in Elvis competitions in Memphis. He’s been filmed in Elvis documentaries, talk shows, commercials, major magazines, and performed his tribute to Elvis all over the world. Stiles stands above the rest. Those who worked and lived with Elvis, fans, musicians, who back up other tribute artists, as well as other ETA’s (Elvis Tribute Artists) revere Stiles as one of the best in the business.
