“The Illusion of Elvis”
Elvis Presley’s voice, soul and presence would always cut through the deepest of scratched RCA records. This is what Danny Vernon found at a very early age when he began singing along with his fathers discarded albums unaware of Presley’s vast impact in American culture. With a devote passion, Danny would sing and dance along with the King’s music trusting that one day he would be recapturing his own “Illusion of Elvis ” show on stage.
Danny is known for his high-energy shows that focus on connecting with his audience. He enjoys performing all 3 decades of Elvis’ career, including the “recklessly abandoned” hillbilly cat of the ‘50’s, the sleek ‘60’s movie years including the tiger man “’68 comeback special ”, and the sexy ‘70’s jumpsuit era.
Danny recently entered national and international contests, placing 1st in Penticton B.C’s Elvis festival ~ 2002, 1st place in the “Weekend with the king” contest in Palm Springs CA (Judged by Elvis’ old entourage) ~ 2003, and voted top 3 in the Elvis Extravaganza world finals in Las Vegas ~ 2003.
In his own words he states, “From the many years of admiration of Elvis, I’ve sought to create a show that would hold the excitement of the King on stage, throughout various stages in his career. I also try to show respect and support the integrity of the man and his music.”
With the voice, look and passion of the twentieth century icon, Danny Vernon strives to re-capture Elvis Presley’s appeal of an ever-growing audience.
