Jeff has been singing since he was five years old. In a similar situation to Elvis, Jeff was encouraged strongly by his Mum. Both Jeff and Elvis sang in church with their mothers and entered talent contests at an early age! 

The first time Jeff performed his tribute to Elvis was for a figure skating fund raiser for his daughters. That was in 1987 and Jeff did a few shows and in 2000 he was challenged to compete in the largest competition in North America and in 2003 was fortunate enough to become Grand Champion in the Non-Professional division. 

For several years between 2000 and 2007 Jeff competed in Memphis TN during Elvis week in August. Each year Jeff was fortunate to finish as a finalist.

In 2007 Jeff competed in the Penticton Pacific North West Elvis festival and won the Professional championship. As a prize for this victory Jeff was honoured as one of the first 24 top professional Tribute Artists in the world to be invited to the inaugural Ultimate Elvis competition. This is the first Elvis Tribute artist competition that was fully supported and sanctioned by Graceland and Elvis Presley Enterprises, EPE. To be named as one of the top 24 artists in the world and to compete in such a prestigious event was truly an honour!

Please sit back relax and enjoy the ride down memory lane. Close your eyes and imagine the Essence of Elvis performing especially for you!

Donations for the Lloydminster Food Bank will be accepted the evening of the event.
