MIKE
ALBERT and
“THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE”
Mike Albert's
"Ultimate Tribute" show has become known worldwide for the
respectful portrayal of the late Elvis Presley. The show
had its beginnings with Mike using sing-a-long tapes of
Elvis' hits. Mike won several major world "Elvis" contests,
and demand for his shows resulted in putting together a
seven piece Big "E" Band, to emulate the sound Elvis' band
had in the Vegas shows and on tour. An appearance on the
Oprah Winfrey show and being featured in six music videos on
the national show "A Current Affair", with Maury Povich,
further exposed audiences to Mike's talent.
The actual vocal groups that backed Elvis
(the legendary Jordanaires and J.D. Sumner and the Stamps
quartet) have toured across the U.S., Europe and as far as
Australia and New Zealand with Mike's show at many large
conventions and theaters. Mike's style and charisma and his
ability to get the audience involved in the show have proved
to be quite the crowd pleaser. Fairs, festivals, dinner
shows and large car cruises have established a long-term
relationship with Mike and his band that draws sold-out
crowds year after year. Highlighting Mike's career was an
invitation to do the Miss Tennessee beauty pageant, with a
full orchestra and choreographed dance routines, and a
repeat invitation three years later.
Mike's powerful voice lends itself well to
every type of Elvis' music - 50's, 60's and 70's rock and
roll and love songs, as well as a very successful
gospel/Christmas show. Since Elvis had so many hits, Mike
makes it a point to keep the show fresh with an
ever-changing song line-up! Special requests are often
delivered to audiences who are "All Shook Up"!
