38 years ago (August 16, 1977) the world lost one of the greatest entertainers and pop culture icons of the 20th century. Many are still lonesome for the energy, charisma and incredible voice of one of the most enduring icons of music history. Elvis Presley, recognized by TIME magazine as the "Artist of the Century," has sold more records than any other artist or group in the history of modern music. Even after death, his image and music continue to be loved and celebrated throughout the world. July 5, 2014 was the official 60th Birthday of Rock-n-Roll commemorating Sun Records release of Elvis Presley's song "That's all right Mama". With recent number ones on Billboard and Great Britain's charts, his songs being used on film sound tracks and television commercials and a rumored hologram in the works, Elvis once again proves he is gone, but not forgotten.
Keeping the memory alive at countless venues throughout the country, Chris MacDonald's Memories of Elvis in Concert tribute show brings back the excitement and memories of this All-American Legend in a truly dynamic multimedia performance complete with costumes, backup singers and a high-energy concert band. With his national touring production, Chris MacDonald draws his audience in with the look, sounds, and nuances that made Elvis the King. An accomplished and experienced entertainer, Chris has performed in Vegas, Branson and with the famous

Vegas concerts, Chris will share the incredible story of "The shy humble country boy who became the King of Rock--n-Roll. From Blue
