A ROCKIN BIRTHDAY BASH ON WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ELVIS' 73^RD BIRTHDAY

(Jupiter, FL)  30 years ago on August 16, 1977, we lost one of the greatest entertainers and pop culture icons of our time. Are you still lonesome for the energy, charisma and incredible voice of one of the most enduring icons of our pop culture?  Then come celebrate the life and music of Elvis Presley, when tribute artist Chris MacDonald presents his Memories of Elvis in Concert Rockin Birthday Bash on Tuesday, January 8, 2008 at 2 and 7:30 pm at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre.  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, 2004 was established as the official 50th 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, Elvis once again proves he is gone, but not forgotten. Keeping the memory alive at countless venues throughout the country Chris MacDonald lovingly brings back the magic of the "King of Rock-n-Roll" with his tribute Memories of Elvis. 

Chris's show is not an overdone impersonation. It is a natural heartfelt tribute to the King of Rock-n-roll. Adding to the authenticity of his tribute, Chris has the honor of being the only tribute artist contracted by Elvis Enterprises for the annual Elvis week and Birthday week festivities at Graceland's Heartbreak Hotel for seven consecutive years. An energetic and experienced entertainer, MacDonald has also starred in the famous Legends in Concert stage productions in such cities as Branson, MO and Las Vegas, NV. He has also performed in Concert with Elvis Presley's original back up group The Jordanaires and D.J. Fontana at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Chris MacDonald has been touring the country with his very special Memories of Elvis in Concert 30th Anniversary tribute including performances  in Memphis, Baltimore, New York and at Ft. Lauderdale's  Broward Center for the Performing Arts.

Not only is the charismatic MacDonald superb in performing as Elvis, this versatile performer has an extensive repertoire spanning from the 50's through today including contemporary country music tunes in addition to some of his own original music.  MacDonald's solid vocals have also earned him Broward County's Florida Country Music Association's (FCMA) Male Vocalist of the Year award and a feature track on The Deuces Wild compilation CD which received the FCMA Best CD of the Year award. Chris has a new original country CD entitled Take Me Back, just released for digital downloads on itunes.com. and will heading to Nashville to record newly written songs, with another cd to be released in the fall.
