Description
A Tribute to Elvis featuring Steve Brandes with or w/o The Easy Street Band
Steve has been performing his tribute to Elvis since 1992 and has quickly become a premier tribute artist in the metropolitan St. Louis area due to his astounding, pure vocal ability and high energy shows. Steve has amazing vocal range and the more operatic the song is, the stronger Steve's vocals become. Steve also performs those fast tempo hits that Elvis was known for in the earlier part of his jumpsuit years. Just when you think Steve is finished with a song, he brings you right back in for another round of hip gyrating, side stepping moves that only Elvis could have made famous. Always the professional, he is true to his art and fully respects Elvis' legacy by wearing replica jumpsuits and performing as a tribute artist. He is well studied in the authenticity of Elvis' moves, spoken words, stage performances and his vocal ability. He performs what many fans refer to as "The Jumpsuit Elvis" because you can sing it all! You're not limited. But for Steve personally, he prefers that era because he truly appreciates Elvis' vocal dynamics, admires the passion Elvis delivered when he immersed himself into a song and thoroughly enjoys the energy and theatrics of the 70's stage presentations.
"There was only one Elvis Presley and I am honored to pay my tribute to the man 'who would be King'".
Steve is available for solo performances with instrumental tracks and professional sound equipment or with his band, The Easy Street Band.

Feedback
- In every way, this young man met and exceeded my expectations. He LOOKS like Elvis. He SOUNDS like Elvis. He was perfect in every way. -- David W, Farmington, MO, 7/5/2008
- He came to my Grandmother's 70th birthday party, as a surprise, and she was definitely surprised. She couldn't believe her eyes. She really enjoyed him and his songs and had a lot to say even after he was gone. Everyone else very much enjoyed him as well. They are even planning to go and see him in about a week. -- Nichole J, Granite City, IL, 7/5/2008
- we absolutley loved him, best I have seen and I am an Elvis expert. Great personality and lovely to the crowd. Many of my friends what to book him for parties. Can't wait til I can have him again. Best money I ever spent. -- Marge K, Troy, MO, 5/25/2008
- Very satisfied. He seemed to do everything he could to make it an enjoyable birthday for my wife and her family and friends. He worked very well in the small setting of less than fifty people. -- Mike B, Edwardsville, IL, 8/17/2008
- It turned out to be a perfect day on October 4, 2008. Everyone was having a great time during Mr. Brandes' performance. Steve was very courteous, nice and it was a grand tribute to have him there as a part of our celebration of my renewal vows and my sister Eileen's 50th wedding anniversary.
Thank you to Mr. Brandes for a great night and for giving us the opportunity to enjoy your Elvis tribute.
Best wishes.

- Steve was absolutely amazing!! His appearance and performance was the closest I have ever seen to the true Elvis. He performed at our Corporate Christmas Party and was overly accommodating to our special requests. He even added a little comedy to the performance which was a perfect touch. My coworkers are still talking about him. I highly recommend him for any event. He was extremely professional and great to work with. -- Melissa D, St Louis, MO, 12/3/2011
- He was just great the participants did not sit down they dance the entire time of the performance. He was fantatic. We look forward to working with him again in the future. Music was just right for our group they love Elvis. It was like Elvis was still here. A lot of us remember the days of his singing and Steve sounded just like him and look the part. Thank you for your help with getting him for our event. -- Clarice W, St Louis, MO, 11/12/2011
