Elvis Presley’s musical contribution, cultural impact, and artistic achievement made him an unsurpassed 20th century icon. Drawing from his country and gospel roots, and the rhythm and blues of the fertile Mississippi Delta, Elvis intuitively created a revolutionary groundbreaking sound that previously had never even been imagined. These songs inspired John Lennon and Keith Richards (and many others), changing popular music forever.

ABOUT THE BAND: Rex & The Rockabilly Kings: Rex Fowler leads the group on Elvis-style acoustic guitar and lead vocals, and is backed by an awesome 3-piece rockabilly band: Billy Roues on Scotty Moore-style electric guitar and vocals, Steven "Muddy" Roues on Bill Black-style slap bass, blues harp and vocals, and Joe Geary grooves on D. J. Fontana-like drums and percussion. The Roues brothers also contribute the stirring Jordanaires-like harmonies that were an intricate part of Elvis's early revolutionary groundbreaking sound!
