SAMMY J ELVIS TRIBUTE ARTIST
SAMMY J
Elvis Tribute Artist Sammy J captures the dynamic energy of Elvis's live performances with a stunning show of his own. As a child, Sammy J remembers watching the 1968 Elvis Comeback Special with his mother. This event instilled in Sammy a lifelong admiration of Elvis Presley. At 18, Sammy (then a private in the Army) had already lit up his fellow troops' spirits at Fort Benning, Georgia with his blazing impersonations of Elvis.
Today, Sammy J stands out as one of the fastest rising Elvis Tribute Artists in the world. He has focused his attention onto capturing every artistic detail of Elvis’s live performance. Sammy J assumes Elvis's look, sound, presence, charisma, and moves with a reverence few can match. He wears authentic stage wear crafted by the same tailor responsible for Elvis's sequined jump suits. He has studied and rehearsed the King's every move. His trained voice bears a striking resemblance to Elvis's. Once onstage, Sammy J easily converts even the most cynical and makes fans of all who come to see him perform as Elvis.
