Rockin Blue Christmas…A wonderfully exuberant tribute to Elvis
December 15, 2011 at 7 pm
Location: Capitol Theatre in downtown Wheeling, West Virginia.
Tickets: $16.50, $26.50 or or $42 per person.
Sold seperately through ticketmaster. Call 800-745-3000
Drawing full capacity crowds wherever they go, Scot Bruce (as the young Elvis) and Mike Albert (as the more mature Elvis) recreate the magic embodied by the King of Rock n’ Roll. This ultimate tribute show has become known worldwide and features a seven piece Big "E" Band to emulate the sound Elvis' band had in the Vegas shows and on tour.

Because of his uncanny resemblance to the young Elvis, and his ability to sing, strum a guitar, and swivel his hips, Scot Bruce has appeared in major music videos, daytime soap operas and national television commercials. CNN says Scot is the closest you can get to Elvis in the flesh…shake, rattle and roll is Scot Bruce!

Mike Albert has been lauded for his respectful portrayal of Elvis and has won several major world "Elvis" contests. An appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show and being featured in several music videos has further exposed audiences to Mike's talent. Mike makes it a point to keep the show fresh with an ever-changing song line-up and special requests are often delivered to audiences who are "All Shook Up"!
