IT'S ELVIS

From the raw-edge fifties, the light-hearted movie years, the electrifying sixty-eight comeback special, and of course, the powerful Las Vegas years of the seventies - Ryan Pelton does it all!
Throughout his career, Ryan Pelton has had the opportunity to work beside many of the original musicians and vocalists that performed with Elvis Presley himself, including The Jordanaires, The Imperials, The Sweet Inspirations, D.J. Fontana, Charlie Hodge, Jerry Scheff, and Millie Kirkham. Ryan has also had the pleasure of working with Memphis Mafia members Joe Esposito, Sonny West and Lamar Fike.
It's Elvis features internationally acclaimed tribute artist Ryan Pelton - accompanied by a live band, the Tribute Band - performing such fan favorites as "Shake, Rattle & Roll," "GI Blues," "Rock-a-hula," "Polk Salad Annie," "Love Me Tender," popular gospel tune "Peace in the Valley" and the breathtaking "American Trilogy." It's Elvis will be performed on the set of the Blowing Rock Stage Company's production of Bye Bye Birdie.
"He's Elvis!" says Dick Clark.
American Idol fans may remember Pelton, or his voice anyway, since they were seeing a hologram of Elvis. In 2007 Pelton was specifically chosen by Elvis' former wife Priscilla Presley to sing "Peace in the Valley" with Celine Dion on the TV special Idol Gives Back
