Chris MacDonald Memories of Elvis in Concert with special guest star D. J. Fontana (Elvis’s original Drummer). Chris MacDonald lovingly brings back the magic of “the King of Rock-n-roll” with his tribute, Memories of Elvis. This experienced and energetic entertainer has the honor of being the first and only tribute artist contracted by Elvis Presley Enterprises for the annual Elvis week and Birthday week festivities at Graceland’s Heartbreak Hotel for 7 consecutive years. Chris has also performed in the famous Legends in Concert stage productions throughout the country and has actually appeared with Elvis’ own original back up group, the Jordanaires. His full production show with a dynamic concert band and dancers has consistently sold out venues throughout the U.S, including Las Vegas, Branson, New York and Miami. D. J Fontana ,who performed with Elvis on the Milton Berle show, The Steve Allen show and the Ed Sullivan show will join Chris when he performs some of the classic Elvis hits of the 50’s and 60’s. With this newly updated version of his popular tribute, Chris has created a multi-media experience. Video clips of Elvis’s career and close-ups of all the live action on stage will be projected on a large screen above the stage, bringing everyone even closer to the "Memories of Elvis." For one night only, Chris MacDonald will pay tribute to an All-American Legend in truly dynamic multi- media presentation complete with costumes, a high energy concert band and special guest star D.J. Fontana Elvis’s original Drumer. This is not an overdone campy impersonation. Chris MacDonald’s show is a heartfelt tribute celebrating the life and music of Elvis Presley.
