First up in an incredible night of music was something I was honestly dreading, an Elvis Costello cover band in the voice and form of Elvis Presley. But, as a big Elvis Costello and Presley fan I gotta say, this was damn fine entertainment. The band is tight and Mr Prestello has a fine voice and really gives it his all. He’s got all the Presley mannerisms, both physically and vocally down. He looked like a middle-age Costello dressed like middle-age Presley with a Costello tie and shirt visible at the neck line.

Here’s a youtube video of “Goon Squad” I shot with my iPhone:
