Description

James Begley from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. Is a multi-award winning, High Energy Elvis Entertainer that covers Elvis' entire career from the Rockin 50's, the Army/Movie years, the 68 comeback right to the Amazing Vegas Years.
James portrays Elvis in an honest manner, paying close attention to the sound and movement that Elvis had in all his different eras as well as striving to recreate some of the breath taking excitement that Elvis caused while performing one of his more upbeat numbers.
Although only paying tribute to Elvis for a short time, James has burst on to the Legends scene like no other. With his close resemblance to Elvis, his natural charm and charisma and of course his undeniable talent, James has quickly become one of the most sought after and busiest entertainers in the industry.
James' love of Elvis began at a very early age. One of James' 1st memories as a child is seeing an old 50's looking mic set up in a church hall, James than proceeded to the mic to belt out the 1st verse of Heart Break Hotel. Like many Elvis Tribute Artist's, James owes his great love of Elvis to his mother who is just about the biggest Elvis Fan in the world and also an avid collector.
James was just recently crowned the 1st Place Grand Prize winner at the Orillia Rock & Roll Festival & also the 1st Place Grand Prize winner at the Ottawa Elvis Festival.
James has also now added the unique song styling of the great Buddy Holly to his act. James catches the remarkably unique sound and quirky charisma that Buddy had while putting on a Fantastic, highly entertaining show.

Feedback

  • It was a great evening with James and his son, Jackson. He gave us a great range of Elvis in terms of songs and years. He provided us with interesting information about Elvis. He went into the audience and performed, which was appreciated. Overall, very entertaining. -- Peggy M, Owen Sound, ON, 7/22/2009
  • We loved James! He was a great performer, he sang great and my mom loved the show. He was very great! Thank you James so much!!! -- Sarah S, Caledon, ON, 6/20/2009
  • Excellent! -- Frank D, Hamilton, ON, 6/6/2009
  • A very entertaining and lively evening was had by all at my husband's 50th birthday party. James engaged the guests and everyone was singing and having a great time. Certainly a memorable night for my husband and everyone now talking about "Elvis"! There was only one issue - our agreement was for 1.5 hours but James (and Jackson) performed for just over 1 hour as he had another event to attend, thereby leaving prior to the agreed time. That was disappointing. Nevertheless, I have no hesitation in recommending James but one should clarify these issues beforehand. Rita S. -- Rita S, Toronto, ON, 1/7/2012
  • James was interactive with the audience, they all enjoyed his performance, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire James again. -- Donna M, Acton, ON, 5/5/2012
